[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your child coming from private? Is that why you say he's "done" with pre-algebra or are you supplementing outside of school?

If you are coming from private you could consider not doing AIM but I wouldn't recommend it because it's such a foundational class.

Also, only a few schools will even entertain your question. Most will tell you it's a requirement.

All topics covered in AIM are already done in 5th grade. Principal did not convince us that it is not a repeat of what DC already knows or what will DC learn new in addition to what is already done. But refuses to assign Algebra 1. 
This is getting to a point that highly abled students are going to be left behind.[/quote]

It is DEFINITELY not a repeat of fifth grade.[/quote]

This is exactly what Principal says but then no details on what is thought at school in addition to what kid already completed? No one knows[/quote]

Are you asking about what is taught in AIM? These are the units:

All of these are done already including pre-algebra. What is next?[/quote]

MCPS does a lot of word problems so even if you can go through this list and think check, my child knows this topic, you may find your child can't do the work when the questions involve real-world problems or when you need to combine concepts to solve something. [/quote]
