"skipping" from Algebra I onward
Some may say that compacting would generally be the form of math acceleration in the scenarios under discussion, not "skipping" per se. The material is taught at a more rapid pace, avoiding the mind-numbing repetition which is said to cause many gifted students to disengage and underachieve. A compacted class may also move more rapidly by not having to wait for students who are not ready for the challenge of the coursework, to catch up. Compacted classes, where available, may provide appropriate curriculum and pacing for gifted students.
