[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this math pathway change mean for the old advice that said you should strive to have your kid taking Algebra 1 by 8th grade.

I have a 7th grader so I’m inclined to not push for algebra 1 next year, since by 9th grade she’ll be in the next integrated math class?[/quote]

What class is your 7th grader in this year? AMP7+? I am not sure you would have an option not to have her take A1 next year. And personally, I would not want to be in year 1 of the integrated math rollout. It's going to be rough. I'd therefore push to have my kid take A1 next year if I were you, OP.[/quote]

The class is just called "Grade 7 Math."

So my thought is to just keep her in "Grade 8 Math," rather than pushing her to Algebra 1 next year, only for her to have to take integrated algebra again her freshman year of high school. She is on grade level standards from a MAP-M perspective, but she's far stronger in reading/writing. And I have to push her a lot with math.[/quote]

What's your opinion on the new math tracks? They are aimed at kids like yours.

If you go to Math 8, Integrated 1, Integrated 2, would you be interested in the new alternative math classes (stats, business focused) for 11th and 12th, or interested in continuing toward precalc ane calculus? [/quote]

I would want her to go toward precalc and calculus, because even though she’s more literacy-inclined, I want her to attain the cognitive benefits of studying calculus.[/quote]
