<p>Well right now I'm just in honors Geography and my elective is Engineering Design and Presentation. Well I've never been a big fan of math until last year when I had a really good teacher and got pretty good in math and today I just found out that I can double up when it comes to math. Only bad thing would be that means il have to change engineering design. Engineering sounds really fun but only bad thing is the teacher is going to be out for the year( in Kuwait for army) . I'm going to be a sophomore, any thoughts?</p>
<p>Haha * Geometry not geography it’s been a long day and I’m on my phone</p>
<p>It is not terribly hard at all, it also depends if you were taking both honors alg 2 and hon geometry. You should do pretty well in both, don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>LOL at title. I found geometry much harder than algebra 2.</p>
<p>Geometry kicked my butt. Algebra two was and is probably the easiest math course I took/will take in high school. </p>
<p>But, how does your school let you double up? There’s certain concepts in geometry that are applied in algebra two, even though they’re not as in depth, but still.</p>
<p>Why not just try out engineering and geometry?</p>
<p>I doubled up in Honors Algebra 2 and Honors Geometry as a freshman. It wasn’t terrible at all, aside from double math assignments pretty much every day, but then again, I consider myself a math geek . . . I don’t know about you. My geom teacher was really good, but he challenged us SOOOO much and wrote THE most obscure proofs/problems on our tests, to the point where we had to stare at ONE problem for half the test period to figure it out. My Alg teacher didn’t explain things very well for most of the year, until we got to sequences/series/probability (he’s a finance major and teaches AP Stats, so go figure haha), but I still managed to get over 100 in both classes. Anyways… I think you should go for it! Or at least, you can. If you are more interested in engineering design (which actually DOES sound like an interesting class), then by all means, take it. Also, some kids at my school take algebra 2 during the year and geometry over the summer so that they can make it to precalc the following year. I don’t know, that might be another option for you…</p>
<p>My school has block scheduling so I took geometry the first semester and honors Algebra II and honors pre-calc the second semester. It was actually better for me because a lot of the people in Algebra II hadn’t seen math for a year and I had just gotten out of geometry.</p>
<p>^Yeah, at my school, the sequence is algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, so I feel like I have an advantage in honors precalc now b/c I took algebra 2 and geometry last year. Some people in precalc had just gotten out of geometry, and it’s clear that their algebra skills are a bit rusty…</p>
<p>The typical sequence in math is Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II (sometimes with Trig), Pre-Calc, Calculus (AB or BC). So, if you have excelled at Math in the past then I’d say go for it, doubling up in Math will broaden your options for math classes in your junior/senior years. If you have block scheduling it probably wouldn’t be that bad (well, if it was the type of block scheduling on a semester basis, like you would be taking Geometry 1st semester and Algebra II 2nd semester). And, can you take the Engineering course next year (when hopefully the teacher will be back)?</p>
