[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I've worked with a lot of AAP 6th graders. From my experiences, kids who took Algebra in 6th were all quite talented in math. Kids who took it in 7th were a mixture of talented kids who love math and parentally pushed kids. I can't think of a single kid who failed to qualify for Algebra in 7th who loved math and had high aptitude in math. [/quote] Where exactly are they screening 5th graders for Algebra1? Our center refused to even discuss this and I had a kid bored to death[/quote] FCPS has a framework for assessing kids at the end of 4th grade for a jump up to 6th grade AAP math while in 5th. Like all things in FCPS, it's inconsistently applied and dependent on the whims of your AAP center's principal. Many centers jump 10 or so kids up each year for 6th grade Algebra. Other centers don't have this as an option simply because the principal doesn't want to do so. [/quote]
