[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, I found some old document from about a year ago or so. For kids who want to wait and take the IB classes their junior/senior year, they can take pre-calc as a sophomore after taking Algebra 2 as a freshman.

Here are the sample paths they gave for kids who take Geometry as an 8th grader and Algebra 2 as a 9th grader:

[b]Algebra 2 HN &gt; IB Analysis &gt; IB Analysis HL2 &gt; MultiVar/Matrix[/b]
Algebra 2 HN &gt; PreCalc &gt; IB Analysis 1 &gt; IB Analysis HL
Algebra 2 HN&gt; IB Apps or Analysis &gt; IB Apps or Analysis SL &gt; AP Statistics
Algebra 2 HN&gt; PreCalc &gt; Engineering Math &gt; AP Statistics[/quote]

I have a Senior going for full IB at South Lakes -- the first one on the list is what he has done. MultiVar is a DE class thru George Mason - you have to 'apply' and pay for the course thru GMU if you want to get the credit.[/quote]

Do they go to GMU for the class or is class at HS? Is it online? At night? Does your senior feel that is what most did that were in same position of having taken Geometry in 8th? And last one, is senior finding it comparable to other math classes or harder or easier? Thanks,[/quote]

The class is still done at South Lakes. It’s the same teacher he’s had for the last two years. The teacher is great. I think he was a literal rocket scientist in England before coming to the US and going into teaching.

Per the paths listed above, this was the option.

He has found it to be incredibly challenging. He’s never not had an A in any class at any grading point and within the first week or two of school, he asked for a tutor and may spend any where from an hour to two a week with the tutor. But. I think he’ll squeeze out an A or maybe A- this first quarter. [/quote]
