[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB:
9th-Algebra 2
10th- HL Math 1 or SL Math 1
11th- AP stats,(3 credits) or Multivariable Cal sem. class and Linear Algebra sem. (6 credit at GMU), if SL then SL Math 2 (Basicly AB Calc)
12th- HL Math 2 (Basicly BC calc)[/quote]

You do not take multivariable calculus before HL 2.  You have to take calculus before multivariable calculus.[/quote]

[b]It just changed.  you can't take HL Math 2 til senior year [/b]so that you are prepared for IB test afterwards.  HL 1 has Calculus starting about now.  Basicly starts AB calc 2nd semester.[/quote]

Do you have a source for this? The course sequencing link above for IB still has AP Calculus BC or IB Math HL 2 in 11th.

For what it's worth, our school recommends BC Calc or IB Math HL 1 as a pre-req for Matrix Algebra/Multivariable, so I'm not sure there's a standard definition that HL 1 =AB and HL 2 = BC across all schools.[/quote]

It seems FCPS has not updated its recommended sequencing after the redesign of the Ib Math courses. There is no more Math Studies, or Further Mathematics (the latter I have never seen in FCPS) - your options are:

Mathematics: analysis and approaches SL
Mathematics: analysis and approaches HL
Mathematics: applications and interpretation SL
Mathematics: applications and interpretation HL[/quote]
