[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone here know if Hoover is offering both IM and AIM?  I had older DS's go through Hoover so didn't go to Parent night and was surprised when DD was recommended for AIM instead of IM.  It seems like schools are handling the course differently so wondering if Hoover admins said anything about it.[/quote]

My child takes  AIM 6 which is the path for compacted math students in MS.My kid got As in 5th grade compact math too but was never the best math student, more middle of the pack. Yes, it goes fast. You don't touch on the topics long enough to get a deep understanding of it. She's a B student now  but truthfully I do think she needs a tutor and sometimes I wonder if it will serve her better to go down a level. Also consider that this path is to take Algebra 1 by next year and that grade starts counting towards HS GPA. I would say that if your child doesn't need a lot of time to understand the topics, doesn't need extra help then absolutely go for it, otherwise really consider a supplementary math class over the summer and/or during the school year to help reinforce the topics learned. And no, there are no textbooks or workbooks in MS and to top it all off, your kid will be going to multiple classes daily and will really need to be organized in tracking when is homework due and when quizzes are given. Part of the struggle my daughter is experiencing too which has led to her not doing well in some of her math tests.[/quote]

No textbooks in math? When DS was in 8th, he basically taught himself Honors Geometry from the book because the teacher was in and out on medical leave most of the year.  It was fine for him (others struggled much more), but couldn’t have done it without the textbook.[/quote]
