But he should know that AIM moves faster than compacted math. It compacts 2 years into one, rather than 1.5 years into one.


The newer curriculum version is AMP 7+, which I believe moves at a similar pace as 6+.


It doesn't move at a similar pace as 6+, it assumes you already know 6+, so it includes the 6+ content. If you didn't already learn 6+, it is a faster pace than spending a while year on 6+ before looping back around.


This covers the units per marking period in each of the math classes:

I think it was a developmental phase. We decided to go to the 6+ in. 6th grade at the recommendation of the teacher because of attitude towards homework.

Child now regrets getting moved out of advanced math. Is there any chance of moving back up this year? Has anyone ever moved up a level during middle school?


...as if his attitude toward homework would have been better in a slower class...
