[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesnt make sense to me.  The 6th graders are already taking math 7 content so I just assumed the AAP kids would take math 8 in 7th grade if they didnt qualify for Algebra in 7th grade. I have a 6th grader in AAP so I need someone to clarify.[/quote]

There are 3 main tracks in middle school in FCPS:
Math 7 (7th grade SOL)-&gt; Math 8 (8th grade SOL)
Math 7 Honors (8th grade SOL) -&gt; Algebra 1 Honors 
Algebra I Honors -&gt; Geometry Honors

I agree that calling it Math 7 honors is a bit confusing since they're teaching 8th grade math.  They must have wanted to emphasize that the class is for 7th graders only.  [/quote]

Math 7 can go into Math 8 or regular Algebra. I know because my kid went from Math 7 to Algebra and the teacher thought he could handle Honors Algebra. We opted out of Honors for Algebra for the same reason we opted out of it for 7th grade math. We wanted him to continue to love math and build a solid foundation. He struggles with language arts, so he likes having one subject that is easy breasy for him.[/quote]
