[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Khan Academy course challenges.

AoPS course quizzes / placement test.

Does your kid "get" math easily the first time they see it,  as easily as learning new words when they read a book? 
Does your kid enjoy doing extra not required math at home? If not, don't do 7th. Kid will burn out in high school for no benefit.

Schoool math class should be a breeze, reinforcing what they already know and gently stretching. Acceleration /  enrichment needs to be self-paced or on the side, so that if the kid falls behind o their studies temporarily, they won't drown in current of the main 5-year curriculum that will not pause for them.

School math should be a breeze??? What world do you live in? Forcing kids who have no interest in math to do calculus in 11th grade isn’t fun or a breeze by any measure. Yet it’s required to do in order to have a complete HS education. In fact - if anything is a breeze, the kid probably isn’t challenged appropriately.[/quote]
