[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “standard” gen-ed track is Pre-Alg in 8th and Algebra in 9th, but it’s very, very normal to take Algebra in 8th. It’s technically an accelerated path but a lot of people do it. The more accelerated path is Algebra in 7th, or even 6th. But when people refer to “Math 8” or “8th grade math”, it refers to the year before algebra. [/quote] This will put you at the bottom half of your school, maybe even lower than that. Algebra in 9th is not for kids who want to attend a competitive college. Both my boys took algebra in 7th and algebra 2 in 9th. This is the normal advanced track. [/quote] I agree. The regular advanced track is algebra in 7th, calculus in 11th, and either an advanced calculus like BC or multivariable in 12th, or if they are trending towards himanities, AP stat in 12th. The college bound track is Algebra in 8th, calculus of some for in 12th.[/quote]
