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

<p>So basically our school has two paths, out of which only one covers calculus, and it is all based on your progress in 7th grade</p>

<p>Path 1</p>

<p>7th - Prealgebra Accelerated
8th - Algebra I
9th - Geometry
10th - Algebra II
11th - Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry/Intro to Calculus (TRAGIC)
12th - AP Calculus BC/AB (only the top students take BC ~30 students)</p>

<p>Path 2</p>

<p>7th - Prealgebra Standard
8th - Algebra 1/2
9th - Algebra I
10th - Geometry
11th - Algebra II
12th - TRAGIC or Advanced Algebra/Trig (lowest level)</p>

<p>-some people (only about 8 or so) are even one year ahead of path one, so they finish BC Calculus in 11th and can choose to take Multi-Variable Calculus or not take a math course.
-AP Stat is offered to all students who have completed Algebra II
-We also have an Java Programming course for 11th and 12th graders</p>

<p>I moved to my town in 8th grade, so I was put into Algebra 1/2 >.<
But I managed to convince the department head to let me skip Algebra I by taking the midyear and final exams for it</p>

82

<p>8th-Algebra I
9th-Geometry Honors
10th-Algebra II Honors
11th-Pre-Calc Honors
12th-AP Calc AB or AP Calc BC</p>

83

<p>Why would anyone name a course ā€œTRAGICā€ seems very daunting and counter intuitive.</p>

84

<p>Our Program</p>

<p>Geometry H
Algebra II H
Math Analysis H
AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, Discrete Mathematics H
AP Calculus BC (Have to take AB no exceptions)</p>

<p>Kind of dumb b/c freshman who are placed in geometry and canā€™t afford to take a course outside of school arenā€™t allowed to take BC but then again anyone can do the test on their own time which will allow you to move upā€¦ A lot more than a course will let you</p>

85

<p>7th: Algebra I H
8th: Geometry H
Summer before 9th: Algebra II H
9th: Precalculus H
10th: AP Calculus AB
11th: Calculus II/III
12th: Differential Equations/Matrix Theory</p>

<p>The last four courses (last two years, each class is a semester) are worth duel enrollment credit and the BC exam is taken Junior year (even though Calc II/III are far beyond Calc BC and so 99% get a 5.</p>

86

<p>7 alg1
8 geo
9 alg2
10 pre calc
11 ap calc
12 multivariable</p>

87

<p>8th: Honors Algebra I
9th: Honors Geometry
10th: Honors Algebra II
11th: Honors Precalculus (this is where I am right now)
12th: AP calc AB/BC (depends on what you get in precal), Multivariable calc if you took ap calc junior year</p>

<p>8th-11th are all the classes Iā€™ve taken. there are egular classes as well. in 12th grade i plan on taking ap calc bc</p>

<p>Edit: regular*</p>

88

<p>Oh and thereā€™s also sp stats senior year</p>

89

<p>ap*
I cannot type todayā€¦</p>

90

<p>4 paths:</p>

<p>8th: Algebra 1 H
9th: Geometry H
10th: Algebra 2 H
11th: Pre-Calculus H
12th: AP Calculus AB/BC</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>8th: Algebra 1 H
9th: Geometry H
10th: Algebra 2 H
11th: Adv Algebra & Trig
12th: Pre-Calculus H</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>8th: Algebra 1 H
9th: Geometry H
10th: Algebra 2 H
11th: IB Mathematics I SL
12th: IB Mathematics II SL</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>8th: Algebra 1 H
9th: Geometry H
10th: Algebra 2 H
11th: IB Math Studies I SL
12th: IB Math Studies II SL</p>

91

<p>Usual:
Algebra 1, Geometry, Alg2/Trig, Pre-Calc or Honor Calc</p>

<p>Accelerated:
Geometry, Alg2/Trig, Pre-Calc, AP Calc AB</p>

<p>How dissapointed was I when I came to CC and saw all these waaay advanced math sequences -_-. Iā€™d love to have taken Calc in Jr year and then do one of those advanced classes.</p>

92

<p>Freshman: Geometry&AlgebraII
Sophmore: AB Calculus
Junior: BC Calculus
Senior: MVC</p>

93

<p>Our accelerated sequence is
Freshmen: Honors Algebra II
Sophomore: Honors Pre-calculus
Junior: AP Calculus or AP Stat
Senior: Whichever math you did not choose junior year</p>

94

<p>Ours is
Freshmen: Accelerated Math I
Sophomores: Accelerated Math II
Juniors: Accelerated Math III
Senior: AP Calculus or AP Statistics</p>

95

<p>In order of difficultyā€¦
8th Grade: Algebra I, Geometry, or Accelerated Math I
9th Grade: Math I with Support, Math I, Accelerated Math I, or Accelerated Math II
10th Grade: Math II with Support, Math II, Accelerated Math II, or Accelerated Math III
11th Grade: Math III with Support, Math III,Accelerated Math II, Math IV, Accelerated Math III, AP Stats, or AP Calc AB/BC
12th Grade: Math IV, Accelerated Math III, AP Stats, or AP Calc AB/BC</p>

96

<p>What I did/doing:</p>

<p>FRESHMAN: Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus H
SOPHOMORE: AP Calculus BC
JUNIOR: Multivariable Calculus H + AP Statistics
SENIOR: Differential Equations H</p>

<p>Iā€™m pretty sure thereā€™s even one level higher. I know someone doing Trig/Pre-Calc H, while still an 8th grader.</p>

97

<p>This is our most accelerated path, that me and 8 other juniors are taking
7th grade: Algebra 1
8th grade: Geometry
Freshman: H Advanced algebra w/ Trig
Sophomore: H Precalc
Junior: AP Calc BC (you can also take AP stats jr year, but I couldnā€™t fit it into my schedule)
Senior: either AP stats or go to the local community college for MVC</p>

<p>Then about 20 people take this path
7th grade: Algebra 1
8th grade: Geometry
Freshman: H Advanced algebra w/ Trig
Sophomore: H Precalc
Junior: AP Calc AB
Senior: AP Calc BC</p>

<p>Then thereā€™s about 50 people who are one year behind one of the paths above.</p>

98

<p>As a side note I am also curious as to how much time everyone has for calculus each week, we have 7 (45 min each) periods for BC calc, 1 every day then double twice a week.</p>

99

<p>Wow thatā€™s a ton. Iā€™m taking it next year and we will only have 5 periods each week of 40 minutes.</p>

100

<p>Our accelerated math path</p>

<p>9th- Algebra 2- Pre-BC (weighted as an AP class) </p>

<p>10th- Math Analysis- Pre-BC (weighted as an AP class) </p>

<p>11th- AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC</p>

<p>12th- AP Calculus BC, Multivariable Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science</p>
