What is the accelerated Math course sequence in your high school?

<p>Freshman: H Algbera II
Sophomore: Honors precalc
Junior: AP Calc BC
Senior: IB Math HL II</p>

<p>6th grade: Pre-Algebra
7th grade: Algebra I
8th grade: Honors Geometry
9th grade: Advanced Algebra II and Trig
10th grade: Honors Pre-calc
11th grade: AP Calculus BC
12th grade: Multivariable Calculus + Linear Algebra
AP stats in either 11 or 12th also.
There are ~300 kids in my district who start on the accelerated math path in 6th grade, but by senior year there are only about 30-40 kids still on it, taking multivariable.</p>

<p>Junior High:</p>

<p>7th Grade: Pre-Algebra College Prep
8th Grade: Alegebra I College Prep</p>

<p>High School:</p>

<p>Freshman: Pre-AP Algebra II
Sophomore: Pre-AP Geometry (Euclidean)
Junior: Pre-AP Pre-Calculus (Mostly Trigonometry)
Senior: AP Calculus (AB)</p>

<p>College Prep and Pre-AP would be the same as honor courses</p>

<p>7th: Honors Algebra 1
8th: Honors Geometry
9th: Honors Algebra 2
10th: Honors Pre-Cal
11th: most take Honors Calculus
I am the only one taking AP Calculus
12th: most take AP Calculus or Duel Credit Prob and Stats
We don’t offer AP Calc BC or AP Stats so I have to drive to our local technical college to take Math 141 which I guess is like Calc BC? You have to take AB/math 140 to take 141, so it’s the next one in line for them.</p>

<p>Our students are split into either the gifted/accelerated track, honors accelerated track, or college prep track by sixth grade.
Gifted Accelerated:
6th: Pre-Algebra
7th: Algebra I
8th: Geometry with some Algebra II at the end of the year
9th: Algebra II with a trigonometry unit
10th: Precalculus (or drop down a track to trig)
11th: AP BC Calculus/AP AB Calculus/AP Stat
12th: GA Tech Distance Learning/Calc II offered at school/AP Stat</p>

<p>Honors Accelerated:
Same 6th-7th
8th:Geometry with no integration
9th: Chooses to retake geometry with Algebra II integration
10th:Algebra II with trig integration
11th:Trig (Or jumps up to PreCalc with teacher rec)
!2th: AP BC Calc/AP AB Calc/AP Stat</p>

<p>CP Track:
end of 7th-8th:Algebra I
9th:Geometry
10th: Algebra II
11th:Trig
12th: Discrete Mathematics (trig and discrete are interchangeable; the way discrete is taught is a joke)</p>

<p>At my school there is a rigid, unchangeable schedule that goes:

  1. Alg. II
  2. Pre-Calc. + AP Stats. (this one is optional)
  3. AP Calc. BC
  4. HL Math</p>

<p>However, you can take online courses on top of this stuff, so in theory the highest would be:

  1. Alg. II + Calc. AB (online)
  2. Pre-Calc. + AP Stats
  3. Calc. BC
  4. HL Math</p>

<p>Why would someone ever take Calculus before taking trig or precalculus? Are you sure the Stats and AB aren’t reversed? @dfafd2dfafd</p>

<p>@yullari27‌
Some actually take it before Pre-Calc., some people take it with Pre-Calc. and AP Stats. It’s crazy, I know :P.</p>

<p>Well, I go to a Catholic elementary and middle school, but about 1/3 of the 8th graders go to the public high school in the town. This is the most advanced we can do we can do:</p>

<p>6th: Honors Math
7th: Pre-Algebra
8th: Algebra 1</p>

<p>9th: Honors Geometry
10th: Honors Algebra 2
11th: Honors Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry and/or AP Stats
12th: AP Calculus AB/BC and/or AP Stats</p>

<p>The school has no math summer school classes and doesn’t accept online classes, so it’s pretty much impossible to get more ahead in math :frowning: There are also no college math classes, either (unless you count AP Calc).</p>

<p>It’s discouraging that many schools take two years to cover single-variable calculus while universities like MIT cover it in one semester. :/</p>

<p>My “accelerated” sequence:
9: Precalculus
10: AP Calc BC
11: Multivariable Calc & Linear Algebra
12: Topology and AP Stats/Data Science</p>

<p>8th grade: Algebra 2 and AP Stats
9th Grade: Geometry
10th: Pre Calc
11th: AP Calc BC
12th: Differential calculus at local university
This course is specifically for math teamers at my school.</p>

<p>9th grade: geometry
10th grade: honors algebra 2
11th grade: honors trig/precalc
12th grade: AP Calc AB</p>

<p>Seventh grade is algebra I
Eighth is geometry
Ninth is algebra II
Tenth is precalculus
Eleventh is calc AB
Senior year is BC
I tested out of algebra II in eighth grade and calc AB in ninth grade and got into BC sophomore year</p>

<p>Typical:
9th: AS level mathematics
10th: AP Calc AB
11th: AP Calc BC
12th: AP Stats </p>

<p>With permission from several administrators and teachers, a handful students have taken classes in this sequence:
9th: AS level mathematics
10th: AP Calc BC
11th: DE Multi-variable Calc and Linear Alg
12th: (not sure what goes here
)
^I will be following this sequence </p>

<p>Do most schools have AP Calculus AB as a requirement for BC? At my school, you take BC right after Pre-Calc.</p>

<p>@LosingCrayon‌ I’d say half and half. But just to clear things up, AB is not a prerequisite for BC, so it is not required. Some schools just make it seem like it is. </p>

<p>I go to a pretty underperforming public school (22% math proficiency lol)
Most Accelerated Math Program:
7: Pre-alg (Highest level grade 7 class)
8: Alg-1 (Highest level grade 8 class)
9: Geo. Honors or CP
10: Alg. 2 Honors
11: Pre-Cal Honors (Includes Adv. Algebra and Trig, usually no limits)
12: AP Calc AB (no BC class offered, no AP stat, only about 12 kids take AB total)
Most kids finish at most Pre-Cal. </p>

<p>Our school had two accelerated tracks. The Honors track is like most other schools:
07: Accelerated Math 07
08: Algebra I
09: Geometry
10: Algebra II
11: Precalculus
12: Calculus I*</p>

<p>My sister and I were in the Advanced track, which is simply one year ahead of honors:
07: Algebra I
08: Geometry
09: Algebra II
10: Precalculus
11: Calculus I*
12: Calculus II*</p>

<ul>
<li>Our Calculus courses are labeled differently. Calculus I covers all of single-variable calculus, EXCEPT for series. Calculus II covers series, and then multivariable calculus. The annoying thing about Calculus I was that it covered more than enough for one to take the AP Calc AB exam, but not enough for one to take the AP Calc BC exam. >.<</li>
</ul>

<p>I want to also mention my sister’s ex-boyfriend, because he is the most accelerated math student that I know personally. (They are two years younger than me, and he’s an ex only because they attended different colleges.) Homeschooled until 9th grade, he came into our school ready to take Calculus I. It helped that his mom taught my sister and I Precalculus. :slight_smile: It was awkward for all of us juniors and seniors having this 9th grader in our class. This was his sequence:
09: Calculus I
10: Discrete Math (fall), then Probability & Statistics (spring) at the local CC
11: Calculus II
12: Linear Algebra (fall), then Differential Equations (spring) at the local CC
Basically he took all of the lower division undergrad math courses in high school, so as a college freshman, he started taking the upper division courses (obviously, he was a math major). O.O</p>

<p>9th: alegbra II (with honours option)
10th: precalc (with honours option)
11th: AP calc AB (and AP stats option)
12th: AP calc BC (and AP stats option)</p>

<p>My school also offers algebra II and geometry over the summer, so I took geometry in 9th, algebra II over the summer, and honours precalc in 10th, etc. We are also a mile away from a lower-tier university, so if you’re on the track to finish calc BC as a junior, you can take the next level there. Some students also do an independent study in the next level with our calc teacher at our school, too. I go to a very small independent school, so the math tracks are really personalized and there’s no cap. :)</p>

<p>9: GATE Geometry
10: GATE Advanced Alg (Alg II)
11: Honors Math Analysis
12: AP Stats or AP Calc AB. If you take AP Calc AB and you’re doing well after the first semester, then our teacher will recommend you also start taking the second half of Calc BC as a zero period at a different high school (our school doesn’t offer BC)</p>
