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

Test Preparation AP Mathematics & Computer Science
41

<p>9th: Math A/B
10th: Math B
11th: Math 12H [Precalc]
12th: AP Calculus AB/BC</p>

42

<p>6: Pre Alg, Alg 1
7: Geometry, Alg 2
8: Precalc, Calc AB
9: Calculus BC
10: Multivariable Calculus
11: Differential Equations + Linear Algebra
12: Complex Variables + Real Analysis</p>

43

<p>wow bobob, thats ridiculous. never heard of anything even close to thatā€¦ most people donā€™t even take that many college math courses in collegeā€¦</p>

44

<p>We donā€™t have a strictly set accelerated curriculum. However, the magnet elementary school in town (which I was lucky enough to attend) had math up to Algebra I. So my sequence has been like this:</p>

<p>6: Algebra I
7: Geometry
8: Algebra II
9: Precalc
10: AP Calc AB
11 (present day): AP Calc BC & AP Stats
12: ?, probably a self-study from Spivak or Calc III at a local university</p>

<p>I wish there had been a more accelerated curriculum available, because most of these were absurdly easy. Geometry was the exception, because my teacher lived by the bell curve for tests.</p>

45

<p>8th Grade: Algebra I
9th Grade: Integrated Math II Honors [Year-long]
10th Grade: Integrated Math III Honors/Discrete Math Honors
11th Grade: Pre-calculus [Dual Enrollment, Year-long]
12th Grade: Calculus I and II [Dual Enrollment]</p>

<p>This is like the top 5 people out of schoolā€¦ and it sucks. </p>

<p>As for me:</p>

<p>8th Grade: Algebra I
Summer: Geometry Online
9th Grade: Algebra II Online, Pre-calculus Honors Online
10th Grade: AP Calculus BC Online
11th Grade: Calculus I and II [Dual Enrollment]
12th Grade: Calculus III and Differential Equations [Dual Enrollment]</p>

<p>No college near me even offers anything above Calculus III and Differential Equations.</p>

46

<p>

</p>

<p>That is actually what my school does. There is no purpose to pre-calc. The only thing extra we do from Alg II and Trig is delta/epsilon proofs, limits, and some derivatives. Stuff that we will learn in Calc anyway. There is no point to pre-cal at my school at all.</p>

47

<p>Fresh: Geometry
Soph: Algebra II
Junior: PreCalc(technically AP Calc AB, but they donā€™t have the distinction yet)
Senior: AP Calc BC, or AP Stats.</p>

<p>if you arenā€™t accelerated, Senior year is trig</p>

48

<p>Our school has several levels.</p>

<p>Freshman can take, Pre-Algebra- (Remedial), Algebra1, Geometry, Algebra2, Precalculus, Calc AB, Calc BC, or Multivariable Calc. Some freshmen have actually taken Multivariable Calc in the past (they took BC calc in 8th grade), and they usually self-study for the AP Stats exam along with this. After Multivariable Calc students go elsewhere to study (differential equations, discrete math, linear algebra)</p>

49

<p>my school isnā€™t too greatā€¦
freshman- geometry H
sophomore- algebra II H/ pre-calc H
junior- pre-calc H/ AP Calc AB
senior- AP Calc AB/ AP Stats
no multivariable or differential equations or anythingā€¦ they also had trig but cut it out a few years back and just merged it w/ algebra II</p>

50

<p>My school isnā€™t too great either:</p>

<p>Freshmen - Algebra II honors
Sophomore - Functions/Trig Honors (precalc)
Junior - AP calc ab/ap stats
Senior - Ap calc bc/ap stats</p>

51

<p>Hereā€™s what I did:</p>

<p>7th grade: Algebra I
8th grade: Geometry
Freshman year: Algebra II
Sophomore year: Precalc + AP Stat
Junior year: Calc BC + Comp Sci AB
Senior year: Multivariable calc, differential equations, and comp sci at a local college</p>

52

<p>9th: Algebra II
10th: Algebra III w/trig (and Precalc if you double up)
11th: Precalc (or Calc AB if you doubled up Sophomore year)
12th: Calc AB (or Calc BC if you doubled up Sophomore year)</p>

53

<p>Here are the highest math levels you can have at each grade:
9th: Algebra 2 Trig
*If you do well in that class, you have the option of taking pre-calc over the summer so that in sophmore year, you take AP Calc BC. But only if you do well.
10th: AP Calc BC
11: Calc 3
12: AP Stat</p>

<p>So far, Iā€™m on path ^^</p>

54

<p>7: Algebra I
8: Geometry
9: Honors Algebra II
10: Honors Trig + Honors Precalc, blocked and project-based
11: AP Calculus (no idea if itā€™s AB or BC, I transfered at this point)
12: AP Stats or Calc 2 (@ CC)</p>

55

<p>My son and several of his friends took Geometry in 8th grade (which is the usual math class for freshman at his high school). After passing the placement test, they took:</p>

<p>9th grade: Honors Algebra II/Trigonometry
10th grade: Honors Precalc/Honors Calc I
11th grade: AP Calc BC
12th grade: Differential Equations</p>

56

<p>The most accelerated sequence at my current school: </p>

<p>9th: Geometry Honors
10th: Algebra II Honors
11th: Pre-Calc Honors
12th: AP Calculus AB or BC</p>

<p>But since I just transferred in from a different school this summer, Iā€™m taking AP Calc BC as a junior, which makes me the one student with the most rigorous math course sequence at my school.</p>

57

<p>9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra II
11th: Trig, or Math Analysis (a precalc class with trig)
12th: AP Calc AB or BC, or AP Stat</p>

58

<p>Freshman: Geometry
Sophomore: Algebra II
Junior: Pre-Calculus or AP Statistics
Senior: AP Calculus AB/AP Statistics</p>

<p>Those are the highest level maths at our school.</p>

59

<p>"6: Pre Alg, Alg 1
7: Geometry, Alg 2
8: Precalc, Calc AB
9: Calculus BC
10: Multivariable Calculus
11: Differential Equations + Linear Algebra
12: Complex Variables + Real Analysis "</p>

<p>@bob</p>

<p>Is this a school with a special math program or a HG/G magnet? Iā€™ve only found two schools in my area that offer Algebra 1 for 6th graders and both are highly gifted programs.</p>

60

<p>^ That isnā€™t even the most surprising part about that curriculum. Taking real analysis in high school is quite literally unheard of where I live.</p>
