[quote=Anonymous]What will they take in HS and college? My DC took Honors Algebra in 7th grade, BC Calc in 11th, and the DE with GMU for Multivariable calculus and linear algebra. In college they gave him a year credit for the BC Calc and a semester’ credit for the multivar and linear algebra - considered a sophomore class. He took AP stats in 10th grade He ended up being a math major and was able to graduate in three years. With his other AP courses, he hit his university’s max on credits to be applicable to graduation. After graduation, he ended up in a math PhD program. Getting grounded in Algebra is very important and shouldn’t be rushed. It isn’t just being able to understand the concepts, it’s about taking the time for the brain to fully integrate them and use them going forward. It is foundational. I don’t see how taking Algebra 1 honors in 6th grade would be beneficial. [/quote]
