[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the previous poster who has a 5th grade child who is taking Algebra. He is in a FCPS school, so it is possible.  His math ability was recognized in Kindergarten.  In Kindergarten, he was pulled out by the AAP resource teacher, who was pulling materials 3-5 years ahead.  Beginning in 1st grade, he pushed into the 3rd grade AAP class, and that has been his track ever since.  [/quote]

Cool.  I can say the exact same thing about my kid, except that the AAP center made no efforts whatsoever to align the math classes and ensure that my kid wouldn't be pulled out of language arts, lunch, or other things to attend his math class.  This is why I said that unless you have a wonderful principal, the logistics behind math grade skips are a nightmare.  Generally, it either is not possible to align the math classes for two different grades, or the principal doesn't care to do so.  Heck, when my kid was in 4th and pushed up to 6th AAP for math, he couldn't get his math to align simply because the 4th grade teacher decided that the one and only time she could do 4th grade math was right after morning meeting (no real reason.  She just liked getting math out of the way first).  Unfortunately, that was the one and only time there were no available 6th grade AAP math classes.  This is the reality for many people who are less lucky than you are with your teachers and school administration.  [/quote]
