<p>9th grade: Algebra I
10th grade: Geometry
11th grade: Alg2/Trig
12th grade: AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>P.S. I some how missed PreCalculus, thus I have to take it this before I start my first year in my college.</p>
<p>I didn’t get selected into the “talented” math group in either 7th or 8th grade, missing the cutoff just barely both times. Thus, I wound up in average math instead of advanced or greatly advanced math. To cover for this, I doubled up in 9th.</p>
<p>9th: Algebra 1 and Honors Geometry
10th: Honors Algebra 2/Trig
11th: Honors Pre-Calc (All of Pre-Calc and then Calculus A)
12th: AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>7th: Algebra I
8th: Geometry
9th: Pre-Cal Honors
10th: AP Calculus AB
11th: AP Calculus BC
12th: AP Statistics</p>
<p>7th: Algebra 1 honors
8th: Geometry honors
9th: Algebra 2 honors
10: Pre-Calculus honors and AP Statistics
11: IB Math HL 1 (which is basically calculus)
12: IB Math HL 2 (which is like calculus, a bit of linear algebra, some of calculus 2 and statistics combined together)</p>
<p>^hiddencreations : How would you describe your experiences with IB Math HL 1 and IB Math HL 2?</p>
<p>If you really like math, go for Algebra 2/Geometry at the same time
The next year, do trig and functions</p>
<p>Honors Geometry.</p>
<p>Algebra II Honors</p>
<p>Geometry Honors</p>
<p>At my high school, you HAVE to take Algebra 1/honors your first semester.In your second semester you HAVE to take Geometry Honors if you took Algebra 1 honors, if you didn’t you had to wait until 10th grade to take Geometry.<br>
My high school math timetable:
9th Grade- Algebra 1 Honors/ Geometry Honors
10th Grade- Algebra 2 Honors
* 11th Grade- Adv. Alg/Trig & Pre-Calculus
*<em>12th Grade- Calculus/ AP Calculus
*My Plan of Study says,“Adv. Alg/Trig,” I have somewhat clue what that means???
*</em>In order to take Calculus you need Pre-Calculus. In order to take AP Calculus you need to take both.
I apologize if this may or may not make some sense, I have been up for 38 hours. Thank you god, for Spring Break starting tomorrow. :D</p>
<p>8th: Algebra I
9th: Integrated Math I
10th: Integrated Math II
11th: Integrated Math III
12th: Ap Calc AB</p>
<p>IB Math HL 1 was a breeze basically derivatives and antiderivatives, taking that information and applying it to real life. IB Math HL 2 on the other hand has been a rollercoaster ride when it comes to grasping concepts. In a way you have to think abstractly and combine all your skills. If you really enjoy mathematics, and you want to go into a career like science, mathematics, or engineering I would totally recommend it. But for me, wanting to be a special education teacher, I probably should have stuck to Math SL.</p>
<p>8th Grade: Math A
9th Grade: Math A/ Math B
10th grade: Geometry Honors
11th: Alg2/Trig Honors
12th Grade: will take Pre-Calc and AP Statistics</p>
<p>I took Alg II freshman year, and am taking geometry and trig now as a sophomore. I would be one more math class ahead if mt 6th grade teacher would of allowed me to take 7th grade math instead of making me self study pre alg (my 7th grade teachers didn’t think this counted enough to put me in alg I then)</p>
<p>At my school there are 2 paths. I started at Geometry in 9th grade, Alg2 10th, Math Anal 11th, AP Calc AB Senior</p>
<p>Algebra 1 (you can go straight to geometry if you took it in middle school)
Geometry Enriched or Geometry (also, some took this in middle school)
Algebra 2
Math Analysis
AP Stats or AP Calc AB</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Algebra 1
Geometry Enriched or Geometry
Algebra 2/Trig
Pre-Calc Honors
AP Stats or AP Calc BC</p>
<p>9th:: algebra I
10th:: geometry
11th:: algebra II
12:: calculus</p>
<p>For everyone that went from pre-calc to AP calc AB, were you in the “honors” version of pre-calc? At my school you can’t take AP calc AB if you took regular pre-calc. We have a slower paced version of AP calc AB called “Topics in calculus”. Is this the same at most other schools?</p>
<p>Cool. A Brit. I’m the only one here who’s also been in the British curriculum and the American one so here’s what I’ll tell you:</p>
<p>Year 9 is the last year of Key Stage 3, before you go onto GCSEs. I don’t remember what I covered in KS3, but I’m in my last year of GCSE Maths(year 11 - grade 10). Since I’m studying for it right now, I’ll just tell you this is whats covered over the 2 years(from my textbook and memory):</p>
<p>Year 1 of GCSE(freshman):
Core Algebra - functions, simultaneous equations, graphics of functions, quadratic equations, subject of formula, factorising quadratics, linear equations etc
Core Geometry - Circular geometry, loci, angle rules, cyclic quadrilaterals, circle theorems, constructions, bisectors, graphical symmetry, similar shapes + review of parallel lines and all that jazz
Core Mensuration - volumes of volumetric shapes, surface area of volumetric shapes, arc length, chord length, sector area
Core Statistics - Histograms(freq density etc), probability, speed-time graphs, advanced mean/median/mode
Core Trigonometry - right-angled triangles, pythagoras, trigonometric ratios(SOHCAHTOA)</p>
<p>Year 2 of GCSE - Extended Maths(sophomore):
Extended Algebra: Advanced polynomials, linear programming, exponentials, binomial theorem, matrices, basic linear algebra, imaginary numbers, set notation, logarithmic functions etc
Extended Geometry: vectors, matrices transformations
Extended Mensuration: Conic sections
Extended Statistics: Sigma notation and some really simple stuff that isn’t worth mentioning
Extended Trig: Radian measure, inverse trig functions, cosine rule, sine rule, area of triangle rule
Core Calculus: Basic differentiation(finding derivatives and stuff), introduction to limits(REALLY, REALLY, basic calculus - nothing like AP)</p>
<p>Some are selected to be put in the advanced class where they do Core+Extended in 1 year, in which case in Sophomore year they do the “IGCSE Ad. Maths” course. I’ll just be pasting the syllabus and deleting the explanations, because I have no idea *** this stuff is - i’m in the regular class.</p>
<p>Ad. Mathematics (Short Course):
Advanced Statistics: Standard deviation (took out subheadings cause it was a page), interquartile range, binomial distribution, some other stuff that looks simple but theres a ton of it
Advanced Algebra: Infinite series, proofs for convergent and divergent series, proof by mathematical induction, advanced sets(codomains), Cartesian form, De Moivre’s theorem
Advanced Trigonometry: Angle identities, something about finite intervals
Extended Calculus: Limits and convergence, anti-differentiation, definite integrals, kinematic problems.</p>
<p>Ad. Maths kids are the only ones allowed to do the “IB Further Mathematics SL” along with “IB Math HL”. The rest of us normal guys can just do Math SL or Math HL.</p>
<p>Okay this was a long post…so I’ll just tell you what I think, judging from this. I think you should really be doing Geometry or even Algebra II. You’ve bound to have covered 70% of the Algebra I syllabus already. The curriculum at KS3 can be made advanced - so maybe you could be doing Algebra II, but I don’t know.</p>
<p>6th- pre algebra
7th- alg 1
8th- geometry
9th- alg 2
10th- pre Calc
11th- Calc AB and statistics
12th- Calc BC</p>
<p>all are honors or AP. </p>
<p>But the standard schedule is to start with alg 1 in 9th. Geometry in 9th if you’re ahead, and alg 2 in 9th like me if you were in the gifted program.</p>
<p>Every school district is different.</p>
<p>I took Honors Geometry.</p>
<p>But most colleges require you take Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry… so you should probably check with your school to be sure that they’ll give you credit for the math that you took in England as Algebra I.</p>
