<p>I think this might be the most (or one of most from a tiny number) advanced math curriculum offered at a high school in Los Angeles. Please correct me if I’m wrong, if there is another high school in L.A. that offers more advanced classes, let me know.</p>
<p>7th grade: Algebra I (honors compared to the average class but it isn’t specified because it is middle school)
8th grade: Geometry (honors, same deal)
9th grade: Honors Algebra II
10th grade: Honors Pre-calculus <— here I am
11th grade: AP Calculus BC (two or three students opt to take AB instead with the “middle math” group)
12th grade: AP statistic and/or Number Theory</p>
<p>The “middle math” route is the same but they split Algebra I into two years (so they’re a year behind), they aren’t allowed to take calc BC, and the Algebra II class is much easier than mine was.</p>
<p>For accelerated only:
6th grade: Honors Pre-Algebra (our non-accelerated takes this in 1.5 years)
7th grade: Honors Algebra I (our non-accelerated starts this in 7th and finishes at end of 8th)
8th grade: Honors Algebra II
9th grade: Honors Geometry
10th grade: Honors Accelerated Pre-Calc 1st semester/Honors Differential Calculus 2nd semester
11th grade: AP Calculus BC
12th grade: Honors Multivariable Calculus
Only about twenty people per grade, if they do not accelerate their studies independently (summer, etc.), go on this track.</p>
<p>Algebra
Geometry
Algebra II
Pre Calc/AP Stats
AP Calc AB/AP Stats
AP Calc BC/AP Stats</p>
<p>That’s the sequence. The accelerated math group starts with geometry in 9th grade. The double accelerated math group (like 30-40 people in a class of 500) start with Algebra II in 9th grade.</p>
<p>7th:algebra 1 H
8th: geometry H
9th: Algebra 2 H
10th: Precalc H
11th: AP Calc AB (we can’t just jump into BC)
12th: AP Calc BC
Out of a class of 400+ kids there are only 9 kids in Calc BC this year.
some kids also do a class called pacesetter in 10th grade if they are behind a year. It is a algebra 2 and precalc hybrid class. This allows them to take AP calc by 11th grade if they started with algebra 1 H in 8th grade.
One could also start doing college math courses in 10th grade and get pretty far by 12th grade since one would be taking 2 math classes over the course of a year.</p>
<p>7th - Pre-Algebra
8th - Algebra
9th - Geometry
10th - Honors Algebra II
11th - Pre-Calculus
12th - AB or BC Calculus </p>
<p>The only benefit you get if you start Algebra I in 7th grade is taking AB 11th grade and BC 12th grade, which is a huge waste of time. All in all, our system sucks…We had one kid take Multivariable Calculus at community colelge because he started early and got to skip because his parents begged for him to take a placement test. There’s no reason we should be forced to move so slowly :P</p>
<p>7th:Algebra I
8th:Geometry
9th:Algebra II Honors w/ trig
10th:Precalculus honors
11th:Calc AB
12th:Calc BC</p>
<p>theres a few exceptions, but this is the general curriculum for the “advanced” kids at my school, which looking at the other responses to this thread, is lowly compared to other schools.</p>
<p>Grade 9: Honors Algebra II (people come to my school from all over, and apparently this class is the best way to get everyone on the same page, which is why it comes first)
Grade 10: Honors Geometry
Grade 11: Honors Trig/Pre-calc
Grade 12: AP Calc BC (if you got a B+ or above in Honors Trig/Pre-calc) or AP Calc AB.</p>
<p>You can take AP Statistics after you have taken Algebra II, which means different things for people in different math tracks, but you could take it sophomore year if you wanted to. Most people take it senior year, though, especially those people that dropped from Honors Trig/Pre-calc to regular trig/pre-calc and were not allowed to take calculus.</p>
<p>For those of you who don’t know: As a result of GA ranking 49th out of 50 states in math on standardized tests, tho whole curriculum was blown up and redone, starting with class of 2012. They switched to this integrated math program</p>
<p>9th: Accelerated Math I (Algebra 1 and half of Geometry)
10th: Accelerated Math II (2nd half of Geometry and Algebra 2)
11th: Accelerated Math III (Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry)
12th: AP Calculus AB and/or AP Statistics</p>
<p>I hate that we don’t have BC. My friends in MD are taking BC this year, and I’m still in precal. If I still lived up there, I would be in BC as well. Stupid slow-ass Southern curriculum.</p>
<p>Generally, this it how it works in our district (at least for my class):</p>
<p>7th-Algebra I
8th-Geometry
9th-Algebra II
10th-Pre-Calculus
11th&12th-2 of Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Stats (all APs)</p>
<p>I skipped Algebra II (did Pre-Calc 9th and Calc BC 10th) but have no math class this year (Stats doesn’t fit in my schedule :() so I’ll be in AP Stats with my friends next year.</p>
<p>Freshman: Geometry Sophmore: Advanced Algebra II/Trigonometry Junior: Honors Pre-Calculus or AP Stats Senior: AP Calculus BC or Honors Pre-Calculus</p>
<p>6th-7th: Two year pre-algebra course
8th: Algebra I
9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra II
11th: Pre-Calculus which includes a quarter of calc at the end of the year (I mean, who really needs a whole year for Pre-Calc?)
12th: BC Calculus</p>
<p>Kinda sucks since I found middle school math super easy and if my school had a higher track I could theoretically be ahead…</p>
<p>Most good-at-math-ish people (35-ish people in class of 2012, maybe 2013, and 60+ in 2014 and beyond):
7 - Alg 1
8 - Geometry (used to be Alg 2/Trig, but changed a year or two ago)
9 - Alg 2/Trig
10 - Precalc
11 - Calc BC
12 - Multivariable/LinAlg at our school (starting with the Class of 2012)</p>
<p>Upper tier (class of 2012, two person data set; strangely, there are people in the category above which are a good deal better at math than these people):
8 - Alg 2/Trig
9 - Geometry and Precalc
10 - Calc BC
11 - LinAlg (+ Multivariable? not sure) at community college</p>
<p>Other upper tier (one person in class of 2014 and one in class of 2013 that I know of):
9 - Precalc
10 - Calc BC
11 - Multivariable/LinAlg</p>
<p>Really pro math guy (class of 2014, USAMO qualifier in 6th grade):
9 - Calc BC
10 - Multivariable/LinAlg</p>
<p>Me:
7 - PreAlg
8 - Alg 1
9 - Geometry (and self-studied Calc AB on the side, but never got around to taking the test…)
10 - Alg 2 (school) + Precalc (AoPS) + Calc BC (self-study during the summer, so I have no test score >_<)
11 - LinAlg+Multivariable (CTY) + Diff Eq (community college or EPGY? uncertain)</p>
<p>Stats is taken anywhere from 9th-11th, usually 10th, among these people. There are a few good-at-math people who slip through the acceleration cracks (at least four in my grade, including me).</p>
<p>7th-Alg1
8th-Honors Geometry (must be honors!! lol)
9th-Honors Alg2 (must be honors or you repeat geometry)
10th-H Pre-Calc or AP stat
11th-Calculus AB or AP stat
12th- AP stat or you’re taking a community college course :P</p>
<p>7th: Advanced Pre-Algebra
8th: Algebra I (stuck with normal freshmen)
9th: Honors Geometry
10th: Alg II/Trig (stuck with normal juniors and some seniors)
11th: Precalc (stuck with seniors) and/or AP Stats
12th: Calc AB (need >90% in Precalc), Calc BC (need >95% in Precalc), AP Stats</p>
<p>There is one person who is taking Calc AB as a junior because he took Precalc over the summer, and everyone is blown away by that. If they saw what most of you people are doing, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.</p>
<p>Math has always been overly easy (I have a 99 in Precalc, definitely taking Calc BC next year). I just wish I had been able to combine a few courses so that I could be taking Calculus in 10th or 11th grade.</p>
