<p>Well, the new school I’m going to:</p>
<p>Freshman: Alg. I
Sophomore: Pre-Calculus
Junior: AP Calc AB/Stats
Senior: AP Calc BC/AB</p>
<p>How do you skip Geometry and Algebra 2?! You need them for Calculus… :P</p>
<p>Accelerated:
9-Acc. Geometry
10-Acc.Algebra 2
11-Acc. Pre-Calc
12-AP Calc AB</p>
<p>Regular:
9-Algebra
10-Geometry
11-Algebra 2
12-Pre-Calc or Finite Math</p>
<p>9th: Algebra II
10th: Advanced Pre-Calc
11th: Calc BC (UConn Math 1131Q and 1132Q), AP Stat (opt.)
12th: S1: Multivariable Calc at UConn, S2: Linear Algebra or Differential Equations (Both at Uconn), Full Year: AP Stat (opt.)</p>
<p>8th: Algebra 1.
9th: Geometry.
10th: Algebra 2.
11th: Pre-Calculus or AP Statistics. You can take them both at the same time if they aren’t scheduled at the same time.
12th: AP Calculus AB.</p>
<p>I go to a crappy public school where we don’t have Honors classes and only SIX AP classes. We don’t even OFFER AP Calculus BC. If you’re really advanced you can take a high school class early in 7th or 8th grade, and you can also test out of a class to get ahead. </p>
<p>Groundbreaking stuff I know!! :D</p>
<p>At my school:
Regular:
9th:Introductory Math or Algebra I
10th: Algebra I or Geometry
11th: Geometry or Algebra II
12th: Algebra II or Advanced Functions and Modeling or Precalculus</p>
<p>Advanced:
8th: Algebra I
9th: Geometry
10th: Algebra II
11th: Precalculus
12th: AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Me (uber-advanced):
7th: Algebra I
8th: Geometry
9th: Algebra II
10th: Precalculus
11th: AP Calculus AB
12th: AP Calculus BC or AP Statistics</p>
<p>I live in rural NC.</p>
<p>I find this really interesting, the variety of tracks. Our public school is middle of the road, but we are really advanced for math.</p>
<p>Accelerated
6- prealgebra
7-algebra 1
8-algebra 2
9- geometry
10 precalc
11-calc AB/stats
12 Calc BC/stats</p>
<p>The regular track is just one year behind, so every kid can theoretically take Calc AB by senior year. It is the district’s goal to have every kid pass algebra 1 by 9th grade, and it seems to be working!</p>
<p>The regular track is:
9th-Algebra 1
10th-Geometry
11th-Algebra 2
12th-Precalc</p>
<p>The accelerated track:</p>
<p>7th-Algebra 1, 8th-Geometry
9th-Algebra 2
10th-Precalc
11th-Calc AB (There is also a non-AP calculus course)
12th-Calc BC</p>
<p>AP Stats can be taken in junior or senior year but most people take it during their senior year. There is also a “super advanced” program which involves combining Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 during 7th and 8th grade. Those students can take Differential Equations in their senior year at the local community college. This is rare, however, I only know 2 people who have done this.</p>
<p>Accelerated at my school
7th grade - pre-algebra(7/8 math)
8th grade - intergrated algebra
9th grade - geometry or accelerated geometry or honors geometry
10th grade - alegbra 2 or alegbra 2/trig or alegbra 2/ trig accelerated or honors trig/alegbra 2
11th - trig/precalc , precalc, precalc acceralated, honors precalc, AP Stat and AP Computer Science
12 - calculus, AP Calc AB or BC (only honors precalc students can do BC)</p>
<p>Mine
7th grade pre algebra
8th alegbra
9 acceralted geomtry
10 acceralted trig/alegbra 2
11 precalc and AP Computer Science
12 AP Calc Ab and AP Stat</p>
<p>sorry acceralted precalc</p>
<p>Our school uses cambridge’s IGCSE system.</p>
<p>9th: IGCSE prep
10th: Algebra2/IGCSE (pretty much like algebra 2 and geometry)
11th: Precalculus
12th: Calculus AB</p>
<p>I exempted myself from this system to take independent study instead.</p>
<p>Honors track:
9 - Algebra I
10 - Geometry
11 - Advanced Algebra & Trig
12 - AP Calculus AB or BC</p>
<p>If you test in to geometry or higher as a freshman, you can take Multivariable Calc. and/or AP Stats as electives. If you finish all of those courses you take courses at a college right down the street.</p>
<p>My school’s accelerated math program starts in 6th grade.</p>
<p>6 - 7th grade general math
7 - Algebra I
8 - Geometry
9 - Algebra II
10 - Trig/Pre-Calc
11 - Calc AB
12 Calc BC</p>
<p>Stats is also offered as a non-Honors/AP class, so the test is optional. It’s a blow-off class in my school.</p>
<p>We have a weird integrated math thing at my school.
The most accelerated track you can do:
8th: honors integrated algebra and geometry 1
9th: hiag 2
10th: hiag+trig 3
11th: honors integrated pre-calculus 4 with or without ap stats
12th: ap calc AB with an option of taking bc second semester as well as AB seminar. </p>
<p>If you take the regular math classes, you end up only reaching iagt 3 by junior year and then taking regular stats or an intro to pre-calculus class (not a full pre-calc class). We have quite a poor math department :/</p>
<p>6th Grade: Algebra 1
7th Grade: Geometry
8th Grade: Algebra 2/Trig
9th Grade: Precalc
10th Grade: Calc BC
11th Grade Multivariable Calculus OR Dual Enrollment in a college
12th Grade: Dual Enrollment</p>
<p>8th: Algebra I or Pre-algebra
9th: Geometry or Algebra I
10th: Algebra II honors, algebra II
11th: Math Ananlysis (pre-Calc), Algebra II, ap stat
12th: ap calc bc, ap calc ab, ap stat</p>
<p>this is the math schedule for most “bright” kids at my school</p>
<p>6th: Pre-Algebra
7th: Algebra I
8th: Geometry
9th: Honors Algebra II/Trig
10th: Honors Precalculus
11th: AP Calculus BC
12th: Calculus III in conjunction with the University of Illinois.</p>
<p>9th: Geometry Honors
10th: Algebra II Honors
11th: Math Analysis
12th: AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>This is completed by about 1/6th of the senior class… We don’t even have an AP Statistics class :(</p>
<p>I want to have the math classes this school enjoys:
[TJHSST</a> Math / CS](<a href=“Director: Login”>Director: Login)</p>
<p>The level of math you’re placed in at my school is determined in the 5th grade, and students are further filtered after the 6th grade. I personally think this is a ridiculously bad idea, as most students (especially us guys) haven’t matured much and frankly didn’t care too much about school and doing well in math. There is room to jump up (and down, if so needed) levels, but its a ridiculously painful process or the math department heads make it as hard as possible to do so (requiring you to get 90% and above for skip tests). Regardless, this is how our system worked:</p>
<p><strong>Fifth Grade</strong>: Placement tests for every math unit. If you pass the placement test, you screwed around while the rest of the class learnt the unit. Depending on how many placement tests you passed, you’d be chosen to be in “Accelerated Math” or “Math Six”. </p>
<p><strong>Sixth Grade</strong>: Placement in either “Pre-Algebra” or “Algebra” is determined by your test average and scores on three standardized tests. If you qualified in three of the categories, you’d be placed in Algebra, otherwise you’d go to Pre-Algebra. Students in Math 6 go to Math 7 or Pre-Algebra (in the case of your teacher sussing out that you’re in a lower math level than you should be in).</p>
<p><strong>Seventh Grade</strong>: A placement test is given to Pre-Algebra students to determine, and if they pass, they would be moved up to Algebra. The passing percentage was something crazy high and only 2 kids I knew of got moved up. You couldn’t, however, be moved down.</p>
<p><strong>Eight Grade</strong>: Pre-Algebra (lowest stream), Algebra (medium stream), Geometry (highest stream). At the end of the eight grade we are given the choice to “double up” and take both the next level and the level above the one you are meant to be taking as we have more freedom in course selection in high school. Teachers were told to “strongly discourage” students from taking two math classes and they even fed us some BS stories of old students who doubled up and came back and begged our 8th grade teachers to tell her students to never double up in math. Funnily enough, every student that I’ve talked to that has doubled up in math had no significant problem. In fact, one person that I know got an A+ in both her math classes freshmen year for both semesters. She’s a rising senior and has gotten an A+ every single semester of math throughout high school. </p>
<p><strong>Ninth Grade</strong>: Algebra (lowest stream; there is also an algebra 1a and 1b, basically giving the student two years to complete the algebra 1 curriculum. <em>sigh</em>), Geometry, Algebra 2/Trig. The biggest streaming of accelerated students happens here, but it’s largely the student’s choice at this point. Geometry students can choose to either go to Algebra 2/Trigonometry or just Algebra 2. If they go to just Algebra 2 they can’t take AP Calc and they aren’t considered to be in the accelerated stream (as Algebra 2 isn’t honors). Algebra 2/Trig students go to Pre-Calc or AP Statistics; many choose to double (like me).</p>
<p><strong>Tenth Grade</strong>: Algebra 2/Trig kids go to Pre-calc and/or AP Stats, Pre-calc kids go to Calc AB and/or AP Stats, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Eleventh Grade</strong>: Pre-calc kids go to AP Calc and/or AP Stats, Calc AB kids go to Calc BC and/or AP Stats</p>
<p>We have some integrated math classes w/ very general names.</p>
<p>For the most part, this is the track for ‘accelerated’ students:</p>
<p>09th: Accelerated Math I (Accelerated Geometry/Algebra II/Statistics)
10th: Accelerated Math II (Advanced Algebra/Geometry/Statistics)
11th: Accelerated Math III (Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry/Statistics)
12th: AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC or AP Statistics</p>
<p>There’s some alternatives for those who are more accelerated:
09th: Accelerated Math I (Accelerated Geometry/Algebra II/Statistics)
10th: Accelerated Math II (Advanced Algebra/Geometry/Statistics) AND Accelerated Math III (Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry/Statistics)
11th: AP Calculus AB or AP Statistics
12th: AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC or AP Statistics (depending on what was taken in previous year)</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>09th: Accelerated Math I (Accelerated Geometry/Algebra II/Statistics)
10th: Accelerated Math II (Advanced Algebra/Geometry/Statistics) AND Accelerated Math III (Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry/Statistics)
11th: AP Calculus AB AND AP Calculus BC
12th: AP Statistics or Multivariable Calculus at a nearby university</p>
<p>Sometimes freshmen are able to jump to Accelerated Math II or even APs.</p>
