Related to my other post: DD12 (just turned) is in 6th grade and in a double-accelerated math track (also designed for GT students, so on the one hand enriched, but on the other they are all 6th graders). The class has been easy for her up till now, but they are hitting true Algebra 1 material now (having finished prealgebra). She is struggling. I actually see this as possibly developmental, but also possibly a result of not having all the fundamentals of algebra fully in place before moving ahead. I've got her doing Dragonbox 2 and reviewing the concepts she's striking out on on Khan Academy. Other advice or resources from the trenches? DD is FREAKING out because she has never experienced the "I just don't get this" feeling before in math. She is also declaring that she hates algebra, which is not encouraging.
