[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per my ds, more 7th graders than 8th graders seem to get 600s. In his algebra class there were 2 600s, both 7th graders. In his friend’s class there were 3 600s, also all 7th graders. [/quote] Presumably that’s because if you’re in algebra in 7th you’ve been shown to have an aptitude for math. If you’re in algebra in 8th you’re just average . [/quote]This is a bunch of hogwash. If you are in Algebra in 7th then you have been already taught things a year ago and have had some exposure to more concepts because you were one year accelerated and many have also been supplemented by RSM, AOPS, Kumon, and Mathnasium. While kids taking Algebra in 8th have not been exposed to as many concepts and are working to double up on many concepts as a catchup. But, your over generalization about math aptitude is completely unfounded. [/quote]
