Have you read The Calculus Trap, by Richard Rusczyk? It is a worthwhile read and we slowed DS down a bit after reading it. Good luck!
Ditto.
We are going through the wringer with DD10s future middle now. MS starts in 6th here and she has already completed the AoPS Alg(a) class with a good mark. She will be taking the HS Maths entrance test on 5/18 to determine what would make the most sense.
I do not want her busing to the High School or even put into the 7th/8th grade one and would rather she be left alone to follow the AoPS curriculum instead. One advantage of doing the actual classes is that they are accredited. Putting ahead into a class intended for NT kids is not going to help her but the school is insisting that the cooperative exercises in a class room are essential. How?
So frustrated about this right now...
Meanwhile, back at the agenda - I would not recommend skipping Trig per se but if your DS is motivated and learns fast then why not cover it over the summer instead of sitting through a stultifying year of it.
