<p>There is no Algebra I course at my school, everyone finishes it by 8th grade. </p>
<p>9th grade: Geometry
10th grade: Algebra II, or Algebra II and Precalculus [1 semester courses]
11th grade: Precalc or Calculus AB or Calculus BC or AP Statistics
12th grade: AP Statistics or Calculus AB or Calculus BC or Calc III</p>
<p>Linear Algebra is also offered as an elective. It’s possible to reach Calculus in 10th grade without skipping by doubling up on math for a semester as a freshman, but no one has ever done that.</p>
<p>My school has an “Analysis of Functions” class before Precalc, but it’s basically optional, unless you really had trouble with Algebra II.</p>
<p>At my school it goes:</p>
<p>7th: Algebra 1
8th: Geometry
9th: Algebra 2
10th: Pre-Calc
11th: an IB-level math course (Studies, SL, or HL)
12th: same IB-level math course (Studies, SL, or HL)</p>
<p>Sometimes there are kids who are a bit behind in math, so they are put in Business Math for their 11th and 12th grade school years.</p>
<p>My school also does the advance math thing. For my school, Advance math is easier than precal and is for people who are not very confident that they will ace precal or for people who have gotten a low grade in trig.</p>
<p>The majority of 9th graders tested into Geometry at my school.</p>
<p>Lol ‘tested.’ More like cram the night before.</p>
<p>Algebra I
Geometry
Algebra II
Trigonometry (optional)
Math Analysis (like pre calc)
Calculus
You can take AP stats after algebra II
*most students take geometry freshmen year</p>
<p>In my school, it’s like this:</p>
<p>Advanced: </p>
<p>Pre-AP Algebra I (offered in middle school)
Pre-AP Geometry (offered in middle school)
Pre-AP Algebra II
Pre-AP Analysis of Functions (optional AP Statistics)
AP Calculus BC (optional AP Statistics)
AP Statistics</p>
<p>Average: </p>
<p>Algebra I Honors (offered in middle school)
Geometry Honors (offered in middle school)
Algebra II Honors
Analysis of Functions Honors
AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Below Average:</p>
<p>Algebra I (offered in middle school)
Geometry (offered in middle school)
Algebra II
Trigonometry/Analytical Geometry (AP Statistics optional)
Math Analysis (AP Statistics optional)
AP Statistics</p>
<p>Remedial: </p>
<p>Algebra A (offered in middle school)
Algebra B
Liberal Arts
Advanced Topics
Consumer-Based Math</p>
<p>In Georgia, our math system is ridiculous. It goes like this:
Math I
Math II
Math III
Math IV</p>
<p>OR </p>
<p>you can take them all honors, except math IV is suddenly AP calculus and you die. Yep.</p>
<p>At my school there are three streams:</p>
<p>Highest:
7th - Algebra 1
8th - Geometry
9th - Algebra 2/Trigonometry (Honors)
10th - Precalc
11th - AP Calculus AB
12th - AP Calculus BC</p>
<p>Medium:
7th - Pre-Algebra
8th - Algebra
9th - Geometry
10th - Algebra 2/Trigonometry (Honors)
11th - Pre-Calculus
12th - AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Standard:
Basically everything is shifted down one. Even then, most people in this stream are not even competent enough to maintain the standard and end up taking regular Algebra 2 instead of Alg2/Trig and take some pre-AP Stats course that I forget the name of. Some really bad ones end up taking geometry by their senior year, and we apparently have this course called “discrete math”, which apparently is the easiest math course in the school. For a super expensive private school, it’s really a shame how many people throw away their education.</p>
<p>Weird how I was considered a genius for taking Alg 1 in 8th grade and being in Geometry in 9th (I had an 11th grader ask me how it was possible.), and yet in most places it’s the standard to take it in 7th/8th.</p>
<p>Well, in most places where CCers go to school. I still think Algebra I in 9th is standard.
Apparently my high school didn’t always offer Algebra I, though. In the 1960’s, my dad didn’t take it in middle school and then the high school didn’t offer it, so he actually somehow graduated high school without knowing any algebra.</p>
<p>Yeah, 9th is the standard in most schools. That being said, taking Algebra and Geometry in 8th grade (we don’t do Algebra 7th then Geometry 8th… yeah, don’t ask) isn’t COMPLETELY out of the norm. It will mark you as a smart kid, don’t get me wrong, but probably like 5% of the class takes that route.</p>
