If he is a fast learner and already advanced, then any missing material he can pick-up in the context of the course. If he has to scramble and lead some of his own learning, that's great news as it is a skillset he likely hasn't had much of a chance to develop in school?
I agree, it's a good skillset that he will need when he takes accelerated 7th grade math next year. I want him to develop the skill to stretch and reach out.
I'm sure he will rise to the challenge, but I am also concerned with social. He is in 6th grade, 10 years old because he skipped 2nd grade. If he goes into 7th grade math class now, he might be sitting with 13 or 14 year olds. Is there any advice to ensure he copes well? Or am I worried about nothing? The kids at that age are probably into girl/boy stuff and I don't want this to be uncomfortable for him, and affect his concentration in class.
