[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the current class a Prealgebra / "Math 8" class, or is it a regular Math 6 class where the bored kids who have been accelerating at home finally get to skip when they start junior high?

If your kid truly can do it, but is just lazy, it's not hard do Prealgebra over the summer.

But if your kid isn't bored by the easy class, you're taking a big risk. So it's good that you aren't fully committed to Algebra in 7th.

"Ready for Prealgebra" now isn't really enough to get to "Ready for Algebra" in 4 months, unless the kid is motivated and capable.

Try this video series and see if that engages:

The current class is class 6. The top kids then skip straight to Algebra in 7th. My goal is for my kid to take pre-algebra in 7th but algebra is within his ability. Current class is such a disaster that he may not even be ready for prealgebra w/o a lot of tutoring. Without getting into too much detail what happened is that the teacher decided to stop teaching the class and my kid has been doing nothing for months. [/quote]
