[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th grader or 9th?  You need to know your school's exact policy.  If it's a high school this might be published on the web.  You should call your school or superintendent's office ASAP for info as they may go on break soon.

Is it too late to register for summer school for credit recovery?  If it's too late, have your child work on algebra problems all summer using Khan Academy, ixl.com, or something like Mathnasium, Kumon, or tutoring.[/quote]

PP of post above.  As a parent who had to remediate my kids' pandemic-impacted math, I recommend you subscribe to IXL.com math over the summer and have your child do 30 mins per day.  You can see the results in the parent portal and use the analysis of strengths and weaknesses to have a conversation with a teacher on where your child's math knowledge gaps are.  It covers K-12 math.  So it will be able to find your child's level.  It basically does what the Mathnasium intake assessment does.  You may find your child has problems with math anywhere from 5th grade to 9th grade math.

If your kid won't do this work, it's not worth subscribing.  But if they are diligent you should see some patterns emerge and they may be able to strengthen some skills by practicing.  If you don't feel confident analyzing it you could try posting pictures of the results on this site.  Or getting help from the school in the fall.[/quote]

If you don't have a good free online math program through school, you can use Khan. You don't need to pay for practice and lectures. [/quote]

PP. Khan and IXL are similar but IXL is better for parental monitoring.  IXL math is only $10.00 per month.  It doesn't have lectures.

However, IXL is probably not best for OP's enhanced description of what went wrong.  It would be more suitable for remediating Algebra I.

Khan might or might not work.  Retaking with a tutor's support would be better.[/quote]
