Math year end review

Last night Olivia, Daniel and I had a talk about Olivia's math.  It seems she is doing very well.  She likes math and is happy she took the advanced math class.  She did talk to her teacher about which math class she should take next year.  It seems her teacher thinks she should not take the higher advanced math class. We looked at the flowchart given to us my the middle school teacher that explains the series of math classes.  In middle school there are 3 levels of math.  1)grade level 2) advanced 3) super advanced.  Olivia and her teacher feel she is not ready for super advanced.  It turns out we don't think she needs to do super advanced either.  Daniel didn't do the super advanced track and it worked out perfectly.  She will be ready for geometry Freshman year, algebra 2 soph, tri junior, and calc senior.  This will line her up for AP testing.  

I am so proud of Olivia. She was successful in math all by herself. Lay the beginning of the year she was not put in the advanced math class of 6th grade because her teacher did not think she was ready. After Daniel and I protested the principal reluctantly out her in the advanced math. Olivia agreed to the advantage so long as we did not pester her about the math. Fine with me! During the first semester she would ask Daniel questions, but as time went on she stopped asking for help. And now we see she did a great job all by herself. Which is wonderful. The math teacher informed me at the beginning of the year that most of the kids in her advanced math class go to after school and summer tutoring. I was worried Olivia would be able to keep up, but seems I am wrong. She is a super star!  Go! Olivia!!!
