[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the big deal about 7th grade algebra? It was the norm where I grew up in Ohio 30+ yrs ago for anyone in the college prep track. The rigorous math curriculum is one of the few things other than location that makes us consider Basis for middle school and staying in DC rather than moving to Fairfax or MoCo (for the G&T math curriculum.)[/quote] I totally agree. The math books Basis has chosen is very thorough and teaches math in very small incremental steps while constantly re-enforcing previous concepts. Plus, the students do 30 math problems a night which also helps them to master the material. Lastly, tutoring is offered. So I do not think one has to be gifted in math to do well at Basis. Of course, Basis is not for everyone, but neither is any school. That is why it is good to have choices.[/quote]
