<p>Most counties in Georgia are now starting coordinate algebra in 8th grade (giving 2 “free years” of math in the 11-12th grades, but this is the way it currently goes:
9th: Coordinate Algebra/Analytical Geometry
10th: Analytical Geometry/Advanced Algebra
11th: Pre-Calculus/Trig
12th: <em>free year</em> Choice from AP Stats, AP Calc, advanced mathematical decision making, finance in math… Basically any other math course BESIDES the regular “Math 4”
—I doubled my 10th grade math with AP Statistics so that I could take both AP Maths, but that offer is available to a very limited amount of students (I was the first in my school to do such a thing- I did very well though 
)</p>
<p>In my district, it works in two ways. I went to a magnet school where you took a proficiency exam at the beginning of 4th grade. If you got a 85 or higher on the one for your grade, you took the next level up, and if you got at least a 75, you took that class. So I took the 4th grade test, got a 90 something, and ended up taking math a year ahead. There were only three of us that managed this. Then in 6th grade, we took a placement exam at the end of the year. For me, it basically reaffirmed my enrollment, but about 3 other kids did well enough on the exam to begin taking algebra I in the 7th grade, in addition to the three of us that had been a year ahead previously. Basically, once you are a year ahead, starting from 4th or 6th grade, you stay that way unless you fail to meet the grade requirement for progressing. By time I got to high school, the track was like this for being a year ahead (advanced):
8th: Geometry (middle school, no honors/accelerated designation, but you needed to be a year ahead to take it)
9th: H/CP Algebra II (Honors versus college prep, which is regular)
10th: H/CP Precalculus
11th: AP Calc AB or AP Stats
12th: AP Calc BC or AP Stats</p>
<p>However, for us, you only need Algebra II as the prereq for Stats, so I took AP Stats with H Precalc. I did well and got As first trimester for both, and an A+ in both second trimester.</p>
<p>Our math program starts in 7th grade.</p>
<p>7th grade: Algebra I
8th grade: Geometry
9th grade: Algebra II
10th grade: Pre Calculus
11th grade: AP Calculus AB | AP Calculus BC | AP Statistics
12th grade: AP Calculus BC & AP Statistics | AP Statistics</p>
<p>^^ Same here</p>
<p>The accelerated math program in my school district starts with a test in 4th grade. These are the 3 resulting acceleration paths.
path 1/path 2/path 3
4th: Math B (7th grade math)/Math B/IM7 (8th grade math)
5th: IM7/IM7/Algebra 1
6th: Algebra 1/Algebra 1/Geometry
7th: Geometry/Geometry/Functions (Algebra 2 and Precalculus compressed to 1 year)
8th: Algebra 2/Functions/Analysis 1 (AP Calculus BC)
9th: Functions/Analysis 1/Analysis 2 (Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations)
10th: Analysis 1/Analysis 2/ math electives (including Complex Analysis, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, Statistics, Logic, Advanced Geometry)
11th: Analysis 2/math electives/math electives
12th: math electives/math electives/math electives</p>
<p>This is going to be mine! Unless I don’t drop Honors Algebra 2 because literally EVERYONE (even this kid with like a 2300 SAT) told me it’s extremely hard.</p>
<p>6th: Honors Msth
7th: Pre-Algebra
8th: Algebra 1 (no honors offered)
9th: Honors Geometry AND Honors Algebra 2
10th: Honors Pre-Calculus AND AP Statistics
11th: AP Calculus BC
12th: Some combination of college math that I have no idea about yet that might be in my second semester of 11th grade</p>
<p>This is a rare case though, I’m the only freshman doubling up, and there’s only 1 other freshman taking Algebra 2.</p>
<p>@LosingCrayon
Algebra 2 is not hard. This coming from a guy who slept through it freshman year. I would be worried about AP calc and beyond because at that point some people just can’t learn the material no matter how hard they try.</p>
<p>human997’s course just seems downright ridiculous. I couldn’t even imagine an area where they actually have a designated course for someone to go through that level of coursework. Just having that path and the teachers indicates a large enough pool of students to pursue that path. Incredible to say the least.</p>
<p>The course in my area goes:
7th:Algebra 1
8th:Geometry
9th:Algebra 2 H
10th:AP Stats
11th:Pre-Calc or IB Math HL 1
12th:AP Calculus AB or BC or IB Math HL 2 </p>
<p>@jimmyboy23 It’s just really hard at my school in particular 
Like really, the teacher doesn’t let you use calculators, and the final grade is 90% assessment, 10% assignments.</p>
<p>@LosingCrayon
Trust me that’s most schools. The only thing you can do with a calculator at this point are the four basic operations and anything else like logarithms and exponentials, they would need to give you a calculator for or at least a table of values. Algebra 2 was really the last easy course in terms of math. If you get a good teacher they won’t let you use calculators in any math class (including calculus and beyond). The only thing that could be difficult is how much they’re teaching and if they go beyond the curriculum of a normal course. </p>
<p>@jimmyboy123 The reason that we can take those math courses at my school is that there is a STEM program for middle and high schools. Also, very few people end up going on the accelerated path. Each year, only ~20 go on path 1. Paths 2 and 3 are extremely rare. Around 1-2 people go on path 2 every few years, and I have only know of one person who has gone on path 3.</p>
<p>Is this topic still focused on what it was originally about? We have integrated mathematics in my state.
8: Math 1
9: Math 2
10: Math 3
11: Precalculus
12: AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>If an eighth grader wants, they could end up finishing Precalculus by the end of 9th grade. Through summer classes and doubling up.</p>
<p>@human997 Um… holy crap. Does your high school give bachelor’s degrees out? Geez.</p>
<p>Must be a fancy prep school</p>
<p>Old advanced sequence:</p>
<p>7th: Alg I H
8th: Geometry H
9th: Alg II/Trig H
10th: PreCalc H (some kids skipped this so took 4 semesters of CC campus dual-enrollment math)
11th: AP Calc BC
12th: Dual-enrollment Calc III, Linear Alg at CC campus</p>
<p>New Common Core “advanced” sequence:</p>
<p>7th: Math 7 Plus (pre-pre algebra)
8th: Math 8 Plus (pre algebra with claim of some algebra included)
9th: Math 1 Plus (Plus series mixes PreCalc in with Alg I, Geometry, Alg II, and some stats)
10th: Math 2 Plus
11th: Math 3 Plus
12th: AP Calc BC</p>
<p>New schedule means “advanced” kids won’t be ready to take even AP Physics 1 until 11th grade vs. some took AP Physics B in 9th before.</p>
<p>My daughter has a friend who is a math whiz. She is going to Exeter this year. As a HS junior, she will be taking Differential Equations. I told her, “Geez, I didn’t take that until I was a college sophomore, and I was an engineering major!” You young whippersnappers are too bright!</p>
<p>@eevictoria1997 my school is actually a public school, but with a math/science program.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I already posted my school, but I found out about more options in advancing :P</p>
<p>6th: Honors Math (just called math)
7th: Pre-Algebra
8th: Algebra 1
9th: Honors Geometry
10th: Honors Algebra 2
11th: Honors Pre-Calc/Trig
12th: AP Calculus AB/BC</p>
<p>But there are a few ways you can get ahead. Some students have been a year ahead of the sequence I just wrote by starting off like that in 5th grade (I’m not really sure which grade, but that seems about right). Some people try to test out of Algebra 2, so they would be sophomores in Pre-Calc. I don’t think people try to test out of Pre-Calc, even though it’s possible. You could also be in Geometry and Algebra 2 in 9th grade, and to do that you take the test people who were in regular Geometry take to get into Honors Algebra 2 (which is very hard).</p>
<p>I guess this is the most advanced I could think of, if you start off as one of the kids who’s already ahead.</p>
<p>6th: Pre-Algebra
7th: Algebra 1
8th: Honors Geometry
-Test out of Algebra 2-
9th: Honors Pre-Calculus
10th: AP Calculus BC
11th and 12th: Whatever math you want to take at a nearby college</p>
<p>Wow… all of your schools offer some rigorous math courses. My school looks terrible i comparison 
We have this Fast Track Program for which you have to be admitted through an entrance exam in grade 7 allowing you to study 2 grades of math curriculum at once.</p>
<p>So typically, you would take the following:</p>
<p>Grade 8: Fast Track 8/9
Grade 9: Fast Track 9/10
Grade 10: Pre-Calculus 11
Grade 11: Pre-Calculus 12 or Calculus 12 (must be taken simultaneously with Pre-Calc 12)
Grade 12: Calculus 12 or AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Sadly, my school only offers 2 APs: Calculus AB and French.
Unless you take summer school, this is the only way you can take an AP Calculus Course.</p>
<p>My school is a medium sized public school in Vancouver, BC.</p>
<p>At my High School/School District there are four different math tracks, and different variations of one of the math tracks within themselves.</p>
<p>The two year advanced math track. About 400 students are in my class. About 25 of the students are on this math track (Myself included). </p>
<p>7th grade:Algebra I
8th grade:Geometry</p>
<p>9th grade: Algebra II/Trig Honors
10th grade: Pre Calc Honors
11th grade: AP Calculus (AB)
12th grade: AP Calculus (BC)/AP Statistics (Most usually take both Senior year, Calc BC is a Semi Independent study class that only meets once a week. The teacher does it on his own spare time during his prep period because there isn’t enough enrollment to have an actual class, your grade is determined by a Semester Final and the AP Test)</p>
<p>The one year advanced math track. There are two variations of this math track, the honors math class track that ends with you taking AP Calculus as a Senior, or the non honors that has you taking AP Statistics as a Senior.</p>
<p>The Honors one year advanced track (About 40 of 400 students take this track) </p>

8th grade: Algebra I</p>
<p>9th grade: Geometry
10th grade: Algebra II/Trig Honors
11th grade: Pre Calc Honors

<p>7th grade: Math 7
8th grade: Algebra I</p>
<p>9th grade: Geometry
10th grade: Algebra II/Trig
