[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typically AIM is only offered in 6th grade.  Other students who take pre-Algebra in 6th take a different course - often the typical 7th grade math with 7th graders- used to be called IM.  AIM is one of the "Accelerated and Enriched" courses that is offered to kids who made the lottery but weren't selected for Takoma Park/Clemente.   It has some parts that are integrated with other 6th grade curriculum and supposedly has more critical thinking, math contests, and a strong cohort of kids.  Skipping ahead beyond this typically doesn't give you the cohort of similar kids - you can be a year ahead, but in a class with a wider range of students.  At least this is what I've understood reading what has come out at board meetings, from the math department and from AEI.  But, as some have pointed out, it seems some schools do their own thing.

PP here - I meant to say students who move to pre-algebra before 6th grade typically take a different course - not in 6th grade.[/quote]
