[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is taking Algebra in 7th and not having issues. His friends who worked hard in 6th grade are working hard for Bs this year in Algebra. It is a high school class that moves at a fast pace. It is an honors class so there are extensions. It could be that it is a stretch for your child. It is a stretch my kids friends but they don’t seem upset by it. You can get a tutor or the answer might be to move to 7th H. [/quote]

Many of kids in class had already taken Algebra prior to start of class so the MS math was review and afterschool they were taking next level course (so next year math in school will also be review for those students). The other half had tutors for most part. The teacher also addressed class as review as it was a review for majority there. Was odd.[/quote]

This was our experience so if you are one of the families not getting outside tutoring, make sure your kid knows that other kids are or this is when kids who once loved math may start to think they are not as good in math as they thought. That thinking is entirely false, but may feel like it if the rest of the class already knows a concept. Suddenly your kid getting it in 5 minutes may seem slow v fast, because everyone else in class didn’t even need those 5 minutes. Make sure kid knows they are NOT behind if they are actually learning Algebra IN the class- that was originally how meant to learn it and they can still do well. Just others for whatever reason may already know things, but that doesn’t mean your kid not still on track.[/quote]

A student who only does school math will not become a strong math student, regardless of level of acceleration or not. [/quote]
