My 6th grader is in our local gifted public school class and will take Algebra I next year in the junior high for 7th grade (well, it's now called Common Core 2/3, but it was Algebra I).
My question is how to help him for next year.
In the summer, he will take classes at our local community college, which has accelerated classes for children. It will be his third summer doing it, and they are a lot of fun. He really likes it.
The question is this- should he take over the summer the class they have for Algebra I, which actually gives you high school credit? Or take Pre-Algebra?
At first, I thought pre-algebra but I think he knows it well and he could be bored. Any thoughts? Thanks!
