I don't want him to skip 8th grade Algebra 1 at all, just pre-algebra since he is already doing that right now. I'd like for him to take 8th grade Algebra in the fall as a 6th grader. As far as the MAPS test goes - the one that he took yesterday was proctored by the GT teacher because it is at a higher level than his normal 5th grade assessment. It is called the 6+ Mathematics Survey with Goals. My son said that it was longer than his "regular" MAPS tests, so my guess is that it is a slightly different assessment done by the same company. But someone else here might know a lot more about it than I do!
