In CA districts have always been able to choice a "Integrated" math path or a more traditional one. In my state, different districts are allowed to choose either path, Math 1, Math 2, Math 2, or Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra II.
My state at this point just makes several options of how to meet the needs of gifted math students, the document I'm getting this off seems to have been drafted in MA. Compaction below 7th grade is discouraged. 3:2 compaction is one of the suggestions at either then compacting 7th-9th and or compacting 9th-11th into two years.
Also of note Common Core math does NOT spiral they way the old system did. Therefore what my son did was skip 4th grade math (since 5th grade math wasn't that different) isn't really an acceptable option for school districts to implement for their gifted classes.
