LAUSD does not allow this type of true acceleration so the teacher is probably introducing the fun and accessible parts to keep bright kids interested. The absolute fastest they allow actual acceleration is to have a few district schools have Albebra I as sixth graders. And I think there are only three schools in the entire district who offer it. And most of the so-called math and stem schools don’t offer it. They have anmath pathway video that makes it clear.
https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/11659If your child needs additional challenge I’d consider the honors math at CTY which contains a great deal of additional content than regular grade level work. For instance, my son is a great math student and in Algebrs I but had never seen some of the content in my younger daughter’s CTY prealgebra class.
If he already in the gifted program? I assume so. In my experience neither district or charter schools will label/grade non-standard classes.
