Maybe check Denison math - it's meant for math-avoidant kids

I don't think mentioning it would hurt, but it might hurt to remove another portfolio in favor of a document that doesn't tell them anything more than the fact that she passed the class.

You could look at History Odyssey. Is there an RSM near you? They focus more on talent development for kids who are already doing well as opposed to extra practice for kids who are struggling and need help. You could also use love online classes like this or this or a self paced online course like this or this

What did you use last year?

This is a totally different approach from AoPS, but maybe consider Dennison math algebra? Although it's meant for struggling learners, it's structured to minimize cognitive overload which is what your 6th grader seems to be struggling with

Erica Meltzer for writing and English, 1600.io for SAT math and strategy.

When and how did you learn this was the case?

There are lists of universities with guaranteed merit aid based solely on test scores and GPA, but they will obviously be much shorter than the list of schools which offer discretionary merit aid based on scores, GPA, and other factors. (I hear UPitt gives a lot of merit aid, but you won't find that explicitly listed on the website or these lists) https://www.guaranteed-scholarships.com/ https://blog.collegevine.com/which-colleges-award-automatic-scholarships-based-on-sat-scores

If we're going by the official story, the most gifted student in Hogwarts' history would be Tom Riddle, a.k.a. Voldemort. Maybe we could leave him out...

She's certainly an overachiever, but there's no way to know whether she's gifted or not, as the wizarding world doesn't exactly have IQ tests. For the purpose of providing the audience with another example opposite to Calvin in just about every way, I think it's fine to assume she is.

I'd also like to add that the expectations for a 9th grade honors class might be different from that of a 9th grade gened class

Trade books (which can often be found in middle/high school Charlotte mason curricula), spintronics, BFSU (and the lesson plans here), phet simulations, TOPS learning systems, and now there's BA too (which, unlike math, seems better suited as a supplement than as a full curriculum). There are also tons of high quality YouTube channels.

They don't look out of print to me: https://www.singaporemath.com/pages/challenging-word-problems-samples https://www.singaporemath.com/collections/intensive-practice And when mentioning MCT you could mention what yous specifically used so parents would know your endorsement doesn't extend to whatever you didn't use. Maybe also mention epsilon camp? It might be worth polling to see which child age range(s) would be the most represented in attendance, so you can tailor the recommendations. If there are a lot of parents if middle/high school (gifted) kids, you might want to include AoPS, AMC, AP exams vs dual enrollment, the pros and cons of early graduation, how to accelerate high school while getting enough credits, etc.

Some suggestions: https://www.denisonalgebra.com/pre-algebra-course-page https://www.denisonalgebra.com/algebra-1-course-page https://www.denisonalgebra.com/course-placement https://www.smilabs.org/products/csmcourse - this is a great real world / life skills math course with no algebra required. It seems like it might be just what you're looking for. It's only 40 dollars too!

In addition to BA/AoPS (which should get mentioned), mathacademy.com has gotten some attention recently as a more acceleration-oriented (rather than enrichment-oriented) math program. And then there's the competition math rabbit hole and stuff like EMF math. The evergreen fundamentals are also important too - managing academic/emotional/cognitive asynchrony, dealing with perfectionism, etc.

I think your son would be fine taking AP Physics 1 after Intro to Algebra A if he wanted to do so. Example: https://artofproblemsolving.com/school/course/physics1 Also, the level of calculus required for AP Physics C is much simpler than the level taught in AoPS, so if it was a priority, you could probably do physics C by 11th or maybe even 10th grade.

What's the 3rd edition?

I'm fairly sure the older editions (US/standards/common core) were more ambitious in their curricula than the revised 2022 edition. I also think the standards edition is close enough to both the challenging word problems (for the common core edition) and the intensive practice (for the US edition) to use both, but that's just hearsay on my part. Unlike the US edition, the standards edition is also the first to have the home instructor's guide

Just curious, is this for a full course on this topic or just a unit within an English class?

That's strange, on my version of Anki the "fail" button is labelled "again". Which version are you using?
