[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader in AAP who has always done well in math and prior to this year I would have wanted him in Algevra for 7th. We don’t do any outside math tutoring.

I am concerned that missing 1/3rd of last year (we were at a school that did not teach new material) and then this year is substandard distance learning has not prepared him well for Algebra. There has to be a large subset of similarly situated kids. [b]Unless everyone is secretly tutoring their kids on the side.[/b]

Anyway, I predict fewer kids taking algebra next year in 7th.

Can we skip the test if we aren’t interested in algebra next year?[/quote]

Everyone is tutoring their kids. And yes, you can skip the test if you're not interested. That said, we didn't think our child was ready but he took the test. He scored a 99 on IAAT and has a 104.3% on Algebra this year so far. So maybe let your son take the test and if he scores 95%+ let him try the class. If he doesn't then don't take the class. The score cutoff is 91%, BTW.[/quote]

My kids started doing Mathnasium since the pandemic. They did not receive math tutoring prior to the pandemic. I am glad that they are doing it to reinforce their math foundation. I feel confident that my child is ready for Algebra in 7th. I have no idea what is math standing would be with the no new material last spring and the questionable math 4 days per week he is doing virtually.[/quote]
