My son's school (with the help/advice of the school system's top AIG person and the school system's Middle School AIG head) is trying to devise a personalized educational plan for him.

He's 9 years old (turns 10 at end of March), in 5th grade, and was advanced one grade level two years ago.

They are looking at how he will advance through the different levels of Math over the next couple of years and one of the tracks they are looking at puts him in Algebra I (sometimes called Math I) as a 7th grader...only 11 years old.

For anyone who has had a child take Algebra I at a young age, how did your child (and you) handle it? Is there any advice you can give my wife and I?

Thanks for any and all help!
