<p>The MOST advanced that you can take for my school district is:</p>
<p>8th grade: Math I</p>
<p>9th grade: Math II and Math III (both honors)</p>
<p>10th grade: Pre-Calc Honors and Calculus Honors</p>
<p>11th grade: AP Calculus AB and AP Stats</p>
<p>12th grade: Calculus II, III, and Linear Algebra.</p>
<p>I’d like to note that Math I/II/III are integrations of Algebra and Geometry.</p>
<p>Since I have block scheduling, all of this IS POSSIBLE.</p>
<p>@Fineng, are you in North Carolina? We have Math I, II, and III as well.</p>
<p>You take some test in the 6th grade that determines your placement. The accelerated kids take Algebra 1 or Honors Algebra 1 in the 8th grade. Everyone else takes normal prealgebra.
Normal/Normal Honors/Accel/Accel Honors
9th: Algebra 1(no honors in 9th grade)/Geometry 9/Honors Geometry
10th:Geometry/Honors Geometry/Algebra 2/Honors Algebra 2
After this point, accel kids have several options.
11th:A.2/Honors A.2/ Trigonometry w/Precalculus OR Applied Stat OR Topics in PreCalculus OR Discrete Mathematics/Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry (Honors)
12th: Trigonometry w/Precalculus OR Applied Stat OR Topics in PreCalculus OR Discrete Mathematics/ Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry/ A.P Calculus AB OR Honors Calc OR AP. Stat OR Topics in College Math/ A.P Calc BC</p>
<p>You can also switch track from normal to honors depending on your grade 1st semester and on the midterm (85-90 or better).
Of course, you can always take classes over the summer and get credit and placement so long as you pass a competency assessment. Then they place you wherever you want. 65 is passing here. :)</p>
<p>As for me…
9th Algebra 1(repeat from 8th grade) >:(
10th Geometry
Summer after 10th: Algebra 2<====Here I am
11th: Trigonometry w/Precal or Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry (Depends on how well I do on the test)
12th: A.P Calc AB or BC </p>
<p>I was placed in Trig/Precal, so senior year I will be in A.P. Calc AB.</p>
<p>Wow, everyone else’s math sequences seem so much more difficult than my school’s, but our academics are pretty bad in general so I guess that makes sense.</p>
<p>6th: Regular math or placed in accelerated math (pre-algebra topics) based on how well you do on the state testing in elementary school
7th: Regular math or accelerated math continued
8th: Regular math or Algebra I
9th: Algebra I or Geometry
10th: Geometry, Algebra II, or Advanced Algebra II
11th: Algebra II, Advanced Algebra II, or Pre-Calc (with trig)
12th: Pre-Calc (with trig), AP Calc AB, or math-related credit (Marketing, Accounting, Personal Finance, Computer Programming, Robotics Programming, Visual Imaging, Physics {don’t know why that’s counted as a senior math credit…}, etc.)</p>
<p>They don’t offer AP Stat, AP Calc BC, regular Calculus, or anything like that.
I did the “honors” pathway, but so few kids signed up for AP Calc that they aren’t running the course this year.</p>
<p>9th: Honors Algebra 2
10th: Honors Geometry
11th: Honors Pre-Calc/AP Stats or both
12th: AP Calc AB/BC or AP Stats or both</p>
<p>9th: Honors Accelerated Geometry/Advanced Algebra
10th: Honors Accelerated Pre-Calculus and AP Statistics
11th: AP Calculus AB
12th: AP Calculus BC</p>
<p>At my school the options are </p>
<p>(Most advanced)(what my cousin is in unless she decides to skip up to 8th grade this year)
6Th grade- pre algebra
7Th grade algebra 1
8Th grade geometry
9Th grade algebra 2 (regular or Honors)
10Th grade Trigonometry and Precalculus (regular or Honors)
11Th grade calculus (either regular/Honors or AP AB)
12Th grade calculus (regular/Honors or BC) or Probability and Statistics (regular or AP)</p>
<p>(Second most advanced)(what my brother is in and what I was supposed to be in, I think this is our most common)
7th grade pre algebra
8Th grade algebra 1
9Th grade geometry (regular or honors)
10Th grade algebra 2 (regular or Honors)
11Th grade Trigonometry and Precalculus (regular or Honors)
12Th grade Calculus (either regular, Honors or AB) or Stats (regular or AP)</p>
<p>Least advanced (what I’m in)
8Th grade pre algebra
9Th grade algebra 1
10Th grade geometry (regular or honors)
11Th gRade algebra 2 (regular or honors)
12Th grade Trigonometry and Precalculus ( regular or Honors) or Statistics (regular or AP) or Topics </p>
<p>As for myself I did
6Th grade- basic math
7Th grade pre algebra
8Th grade pre algebra again (I had passed it the year before but the school/my parents thought I needed another year)
9Th grade algebra 1
10Th grade algebra 1 (i wasnt exactly well during my freshman year and couldn’t make it up during the summer)
11Th grade geometry and algebra 2 (had to double up to make sure I get at least 4 math credits)
12Th Trig (if I get accepted to the class) and Stats. </p>
<p>My children’s district just changed to be a year ahead for the most advanced students, instead of two years ahead. If you have connections, you can play fast and loose with classes and take a class in the summer and get ahead of your peers. Some are taking multi-variable calculus in 12th grade, but few are.</p>
<p>Used to be:
9th grade: trig
10th grade: pre-calc
11th grade: calc AB
12th grade: calc BC</p>
<p>but some took BC in 11th grade without AB.</p>
<p>The current is a year behind, so geometry in 9th grade, and the sequence the same. I am toying with my 9th grader taking trig over the summer so he can go into pre-calc in 10th grade, as was his brother’s track.</p>
<p>Honestly imho unless the college you are wanting to go to is extremely top notch and/or you want to get into medical or engineering fields, what math you take when doesn’t really matter</p>
<p>And @3 ways to go it’s relatively simplistic.
Unlike my friends school where they had no less than 17 sequence options. </p>

10th: Functions, Statistics and Trig
11th: Precalc
12th: AP Calc AB/BC</p>
<p>My school is a magnet school so it depends on your course pathway.
Biomedical Science Pathway:
9th: Accelerated Coordinate Alegrbra
10th: Accelerated Analytical Geometry
11th: Accelerated Precalculus
12th: AP Calculus AB or AP Statistics</p>
<p>Mechatronics Pathway:
8th: Accelerated Coordinate Alegbra
9th: Accelerated Analytical Geometry
10th: Accelerated Precalculus
11th: AP Calculus BC
12th: Post-AP Engineering Calculus</p>
<p>Typical advanced student:
9th: Geometry Honors
10th: Alg 2 Honors
11th: Pre-Calc Honors
12th: Calc BC</p>
<p>What I did…(just to show options are available)
9th: Calc BC
10th: Calc 3/Probability Theory
11th: Linear Algebra
12th: Analysis</p>
I skipped Geometry and AP Calculus AB:
My school offers Multivariable, but I have to take LA/DE and RA outside of school.
6th: Algebra I
7th: Algebra II/Trig
8th: Precalculus H
9th: AP Calculus BC
10th: Multivariable Calculus
11th: Linear Algebra/Differential Equations
12th: Real Analysis
I think usually this is how it goes:
8th: Algebra !
9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra II/Trig
11th: Precalculus H
12th: AP Calculus AB/BC
Advanced path at my hs:
9th: H Algebra II
10th: H Precalc
11th: AP Calc AB/BC
12th: Calc III/Diffeq at a CC or Linear Algebra at HS
My school district isn’t very advanced. Thus this is the most difficult track:
7th grade: Algebra I (only two people did this, myself and another)
8th grade: Algebra I and Geometry (doubling up; more people in my district chose this option. I and said other student in Algebra I the previous year took only geometry)
Freshman year: Algebra II/Precalc
Sophomore year: AP Calc AB (the highest offered at our school)
Junior year: Calc II and Calc III (community college dual enrollment; Youth Options college courses are free in Wisconsin! Only three students are in this right now: me and two others)
Senior year: Most likely Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (also dual enrollment. We, meaning the students in Calc III right now as juniors, talk about this one student who did the same, except at other colleges or something; it didn’t work out too well for her)
Most of the advanced students take this path:
8th grade: Algebra I
Freshman year: Geometry
Sophomore year: Algebra II/Precalc or Algebra/Trig
Junior year: AP Calc AB or Precalc or IB Math SL I
Senior year: Stats (not even AP…) or AP Calc or IB Math SL II
well to be in an accelerated math class (in my school), you’d have to recognized as a “gifted student” and the placement for that is in 5th grade or the beginning of 6th grade by taking a gifted test. After meeting all the prerequisite math courses available to students on the gifted track in middle school these are the courses students usually take in high school:
FRESHMAN YEAR: Accelerated Integrated Geometry (Honors/Gifted)
SOPHOMORE YEAR: Accelerated Integrated Precalculus (Honors/Gifted)
JUNIOR YEAR: AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC
SENIOR YEAR: Differential Equations and Numbers Theory or AP Statistics 
We don’t have tracks because students come in with all sorts of levels.
Precalculus courses: geometry, algebra 1 equivalent, algebra 2 & trig equivalent, precalculus equivalent
Precaculus electives: statistics, discrete mathematics, problem solving, mathematica
Calculus sequences: AB 1&2; insane track BC 1/2 & 2/3 2 semesters; median track BC 1/2/3 semesters
Calculus electives: MVC, diff eq, LinAlg 1/2, number theory, graph theory, analysis, advanced problem solving, modern geometry, independent study
