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

<p>In my district they determine whether you’re accelerated in math at the end of 5th grade. And put you in pre-Algebra in 6th grade. I moved here in 7th so I just skipped pre-Algebra.
7th - Algebra I
8th - Geomethry
9th - Adcanved Algebra (Algebra II)
10th - Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry (one class)
11th - Pre-Calculus and Discrete Mathematics (one class)
12th - Whatevers left, so AP Stats, AP Calc AB/AC
but you can take classes in the summer, and double up on certain classes</p>

<p>There are two paths:
summer before 7th - Intro to Algebra
7th - Algebra
8th - Geometry</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>7th - Intro
8th - Algebra
summer before 9th - Geometry</p>

<p>then they merge together:
9th - Algebra 2 Honors
10th - Math Analysis/Precalculus Honors or AP Stats
11th - AP Calculus AB (requires Precalc Honors)
12th - AP Calculus BC</p>

<p>Barring any extra credits that people receive from taking courses at colleges or online.</p>

<p>I’m going to a school that only has about 50 students per grade so my sequence is/was very different from others.
6th grade: Pre-Algebra
7th: Algebra I
8th: Algebra II
9th: 1st semester, Honors Geometry, 2nd semester Honors pre-calc
10th: my choice of honors calculus, AP Calculus AB and/or BC
11th: College level math
12th: College level math</p>

<p>Pretty much, I finish up high school in two years, taking five AP courses sophmore year and taking college courses the last two years of high school. :)</p>

<p>6th-Elementary, no advanced courses
7th-Adv. Pre-Algebra
8th-Adv. Algebra I
9th-Adv. Algebra II
10th-Adv. Geometry with Trigonometry
11th-AP Calculus AB
12th-AP Stat</p>

<p>That’s the quickest and most extensive path possible at my HS. No local CC offers anything beyond Pre-Cal. :(</p>

<p>Wow, this is shocking to me because I’ve never heard of any high schools going past Calc BC/ Stat.</p>

<p>9th-Algebra II
10th-Pre-calc/calc honors (pre-calc mixed with calc A)
11th-AP Calc BC
12th-AP Stat</p>

<p>At my school, you take a placement exam in 7th grade, with accelerated placing you in Alg. 1 in 8th grade, so the sequence follows as this:</p>

<p>9th - Alg. 2
10th - H. Geometry
11th - Trig.
12th - AP Calc. AB</p>

<p>Although this is the accelerated schedule at my school, my personal schedule is a little weird, but could lead to me taking Calc 2 or 3 at a community college by the time I graduate.</p>

<p>7th- alg 1h
8th- geo w/ trig h
9th- alg 2 h
10th- pre cal h
11th- ap calc bc/ap calc ab/ap stat
12th- ap stat/multivariable calc/calc 2 h</p>

<p>They give you a test in 5th grade and determine your placement based on that.</p>

<p>6th: Honors Pre-Algebra
7th: Honors Algebra
8th: Geometry
9th: Honors Algebra II
10th: Math Analysis (precalc) OR Honors Math Analysis (1 semester of precalc and one of Calc A)
11th: Calculus AB OR Calculus BC (if you’re confident that you know the A from 10th grade)
12th: Calculus BC OR AP Stats OR something at a community college</p>

<p>I went Honors M.A. -> Calc AB -> Calc BC (next year). Didn’t trust myself with the A from honors math analysis.</p>

<p>the test is in elementary school (which i find completely ridiculous because I wasn’t mature enough then, but now I am), and you can always place higher with a test if you ask.
the normal order would be
9-geometry
10-advanced algebra
11-functions/stats/trig
12-precalc/discrete maths</p>

<p>the honors course is
9-advanced algebra honors
10-functions/stats/trig honors
11- precalc/discrete maths honors
12- calc or stats or whatever you want to</p>

<p>or if this slow paces is boring, as it is for me and several others, we test out of preclac and take calc 11th like many schools do.</p>

<p>Freshman: Honors Geometry/Algebra I
Sophomore: Alg 2/trig
Junior Year: College Algebra/pre calc/AP Stats
Senior Year: AP Calc AB</p>

<p>If you’re an average student, you take:
Freshman- Algebra
Sophomore- Geometry
Junior- Algebra 2
Senior- Math Applications or FST (Functions, Stats, & Trig, which is the highest you can get to on this average path)</p>

<p>If you took Algebra in 8th grade, you can test into:
F- Honors Geometry
S- Honors Algebra 2
J- PreCalculus
S- AP Calculus AB (and can take BC concurrently 2nd semester; AB is full year)
also can take AP Stats anytime after Honors Algebra 2, so can take junior year with or w/o PreCalc…or could do AP Stats junior year and PreCalc senior year, or take 2 math courses at once…many ways to do this)</p>

<p>If you took Algebra in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th grade, you can test into this:
F- Honors Algebra 2
S- PreCalculus
J- AP Calculus AB
S- probably take AP Calculus BC if you didn’t take that concurrently junior year with Calc AB
Also can take AP Stats anytime after Honors Algebra 2, as described earlier</p>

<p>Intergrated algebra - 8th grade
currently taking geometry - 9th grade
will take trigonometry in 10th grade
pre-calculus in 11th grade, and calculus in senior year.</p>

<p>Small charter sch, so no honor classes</p>

<p>7th-Algebra 1
8th-Geometry
9th-Algebra 2-H
10th-PreCalculus
11th-AP Calculus AB and AP Statistics
12th-Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations</p>

<p>7th- Algebra I
8th- Geometry
9th- Algebra II
10th- AP Stat
11th- Pre-Calculus
12th- AP Calculus AB or BC</p>

<p>My high school has multiple paths. The middle schools that feed into it have many different systems, so some freshmen come in with Algebra I and others need to take it in high school. For students who took Algebra in middle school, the most accelerated path is</p>

<p>9th: Honors Geometry/Algebra II
10th: Honors Algebra II/Trig (uses a Precalc book)
11th: AP Calc AB
12th: AP Calc BC</p>

<p>Usually only 5 to 12 students actually make it all the way to BC.</p>

<p>For the vast majority of students, the freshman’s highest math course is Algebra 2(some take Pre-Calc, but they may have taken Alg 2 over the summer). After that is Precalc, then BC(the smartest would skip AB), and as seniors, they can take Multivariable Calc/Differential Equations. </p>

<p>A few(about 5 per year) take BC in their sophomore year and probably take MVC/DE Junior year(I’m one of these people). After that, the only remaining math class is AP Statistics, though our school recently allows us to take EPGY courses for free, so I’m taking Linear Algebra online senior year in addition to Statistics at school.</p>

<p>Freshman Year: Geometry Honors
Sophomore Year: Algebra II Trigonometry Honors
Junior Year: Precalculus Honors
Senior Year: AP Calculus AB/BC</p>

<p>Accelerated Track</p>

<p>8 Algebra I
9 Accelerated Geometry
10 Algebra II with Trig
11 Pre-Calc
12 AP Calculus AB–maybe 30-50 of 270 kids get here</p>

<p>Our school didn’t offer AP Calc BC until two years ago, and now it’s only through distance learning/interactive video (whatever you call it). And next year will be the first they let kids skip AB and go straight to BC.</p>

<p>About 5-10 kids each year do this:</p>

<p>7 Algebra I
8 Geometry (until this year kids had to travel over to HS to take this class)
9 Algebra II with Trig
10 Pre-Calc
11 AP Calc AB
12 Depending on the year and the kids, either AP Calc BC, Dual enrollment Calc II, or AP Stats</p>

<p>Me and one other kid</p>

<p>6 Algebra I at middle school as elementary school kid
7 Geometry at high school as middle schooler
8 Algebra II with Trig at HS as middle schooler
9 Pre-Calc
10 AP Calc AB (covered some of BC after the AP exam)
11 AP Calc BC (spent first semester redoing AB)
12 MVC, then Linear Mathematics (combination of Diff. Eq. and Linear Alg.) through local two-year college</p>

<p>Some of these schools are ridiculous.</p>

<p>The school is on a block schedule… that is why some years have 2 math classes.
My track…
Freshman Year: Geometry Honors
Sophomore Year: Algebra 2 Honors/Precalculus Honors
Junior Year: Calculus Honors/AP Calculus AB (First semester is material, Second is review)
Senior Year: AP Calculus BC (A continuation from AB, Only C topics taught) </p>

<p>There was one freshman last year that was in Calculus AB with me and then BC with me this year. He is going to have to take Calc 3 as dual enrollment because the school is running out of math classes for him.</p>

<p>9th = Pre-Calculus / AP Calculus AB
10th/11th = AP Stats / AP Calculus AB/BC (you take Stats and Calc in any order)
12th = AP Stats / AP Calculus AB/BC / IB Mathematics SL/HL</p>
