Momto4inSoCal Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 If you are currently working in BA5 what are you plans next year? Most sequences hit pre-algebra 7th grade but BA seems to go into pre-algebra after BA5. I'm not sure if I should skip 6th grade math for DD. She's a very strong math student but I'm worried about missing something by skipping a year. We use MM also so we will have finished BA5 (as long as 5D is published before the end of the year) and MM5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlktwins Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Do you have MM6 already? If so, maybe you can run her through the chapter tests and see if there are any areas you need to cover before moving into Pre-A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake and Pi Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I plan to move my kid who is in BA5 this year into AoPS pre-A next. There seems to be a fair amount of overlap between the two, just presented differently. I'm guessing that their pre-A goes deeper and/or farther than BA5 where there is overlap, but I really don't know. Check out the AoPS pre-tests. They may help you with placement decisions. I've got to say though, that I doubt that a kid who completes the BA series and then moves into AoPS pre-A is going to miss anything important.

If nothing else, it will help me not feel like I'm throwing her into something she's not ready for. I let her try a couple problems on alcamus today and she did fine.

LMD Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 We are doing a mix of life of fred preA, jousting armadillos (intro to alg) and Russian math 6. We, uh, like to play around with maths... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I have a soon-to-be 3rd grader scheduled for BA5 next year, and pre-A in 4th. If your kid does well with BA, I see no reason not to move directly to AoPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
