[quote=Anonymous]The smart thing to do (but I doubt FCPS would do it) would be to put ready 6th graders in Prealgebra, and give the well prepared kids extension work and the URL for free Art Of Problem Solving Prealgebra and Algebra courses. Then send them to Geometry in 7th when they get to middle school. Alternative smart thing to do is to keep Algebra in 7th but send the kids to free AoPS Prealgebra website in 6th. If a student does the hard/challenge problems/topics in an AoPS class, it's essentially equivalent to the next level Algebra class in public school. Students at this level of ability don't need to take up the teacher's time in class discussion. They have each other and the online forums and videos [/quote]
