[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For fifth graders in advanced math taking the sixth grade SOL, what score qualifies the kid for pre-algebra in 6th? Is it school dependent?[/quote]

5th graders in Advanced Math should have taken the 5th grade SOL. Each school has its own process for placing kids in 6th grade Advanced Math, there is no set standard. It was rare for kids to be dropped from Advanced Math in 6th grade.

6th graders take the 7th grade SOL, they need to pass advanced to have the option to take Algebra 1 H in 7th grade.[/quote]

I think AAP kids take grade level SOL in 3rd and 4th but starting in 5th, they skip 5th grade SOL and take the 6th SOL, then 6th grade AAP takes 7th grade SOL. [/quote]

My kid was in Advanced Math and took the 5th grade SOL, they skipped the 6th grade SOL. I am looking at his record, he has 3rd,4th,5th,7th grade Math SOL scores. He is in 7th grade this year and we are waiting on the Algebra 1 score. [/quote]

Then maybe they made a mistake. Advanced math kids in 5th take the 6th grade math sol. They actually skip the 5th grade math sol. Was your child in AAP or just local advanced math?[/quote]

Local Advanced Math, we didn't have a LLIV class when he started at his ES. They have one now. [/quote]

Was he in local advanced math in both 5th and 6th grade or only in 6th?[/quote]

Technically, he was in Advanced Math since 3rd grade. They separated the class in totality in 5th grade but there was an Advanced Group that started in 3rd grade. The teachers specifically discussed that the entire class received the accelerated curriculum but that the grades in the 3rd and 4th grade were only based on the grade level material. They didn't want for students to lose the option of moving into the separate class in 5th grade by separating the groups too early. There was a distinct class in 5th grade with little movement in or out in 6th grade.
