[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if a 5th grader can handle Algebra I, as sixth graders they will struggle with Geometry (proofs, less so the math), and it gets progressively harder from there. On that track, all the 10th graders will be taking AP Calc BC, Multivariable in 11th, and then what? I doubt there is a school system on earth where it is common for kids to take calculus in 10th grade, and higher level math thereafter. [/quote] Define common. There is one middle school that has 40-50 8th graders taking algebra 2 with trig, and thus on a path to calculus in 10th grade. In Fairfax they could maybe take calculus in 9th if they are taking algebra 1 in 6th grade. There is no requirement of calc AB then Calc BC.[/quote]
