[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last spring, our middle school principal shared a link via email, prompting us to explore FCPS online summer learning options. Following conversations with the counselor and math teacher, DC was enrolled in summer Geometry, which they [b]thoroughly enjoyed[/b] followed by a month long vacation. DC completed Algebra 2 in 8th grade along with dozens others, and teacher was pleased most of the class has an A.

I would suggest follow recommendations from principal, counselor, and most importantly math teacher.  Students love to learn math when they are challenged appropriately.  [/quote]

Sounds made up.

As many posters said, you don’t just sign up for geometry over the summer and enjoy the 5 hours of daily math like drinking from a fire hose. You take geometry on the side and use summer school to get credit.

If it were that easy to learn one years worth of math over the six week summer session, you could also do six weeks algebra 1, six weeks algebra 2 and 6 weeks precalculus to compress the entire high school math in half a year.

And of course, follow up with 6 weeks calculus and 6 weeks multivariable. lol.

You wouldn’t do that because it’s obviously a bad idea, learning requires time for things to sink in and to make connections. Somehow people think geometry is different.[/quote]
