Thank you so much!

Here's my next question. Right now, for sixth grade, she has been placed in a "one level accelerated" math program but not in pre-algebra, which is the two level accelerated program that frankly, all the kids headed for the "big leagues" are in. I am wondering if we should push for her to be in pre-alegbra. On the one hand, I don't want to frustrate her, but on the other hand, the basic maths (everything up to pre-algebra) are taught using the Chicago Math (Everyday Math) program which is a terrible method of teaching for her and I'd just like to get her out of there. Her WIAT scores would indicate her math skills are strong, but her performance on math tests in school has been uneven, and then there is the PRI score. However, if she doesn't have pre-alebra next year, she is on track to have it the following year anyway, and her issues will always be her issues.

I'm wondering if "pre-algebra with accomodations" is what is appropriate, but if so, what would those accomodations be?

Thank you again!!
