[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising sophomore.

I think she has gotten As in Math but that the schools she has attended didn't push any acceleration and neither did the parents.

But, yes, I am concerned about two core classes instead of one and an elective. [/quote]

Am I right that this means she took Algebra 1 this past year in 9th, plans to take Geometry in 10th, Algebra 2 in 11th, and AP Pre-Calc in 12th?

If so, would she be willing to take Geometry this summer? Like, for real - via a state-approved course, not self-study. Assuming she passes the assessments/state requirements at the end, I assume her school would allows her to jump to Algebra 2 sophomore year, then Pre-Calc, then Calc.

The other idea would be to take that real, state-approved course this summer, not report it for a grade or credit, but learn as much as possible in order to have an easier time when doubling up on Geometry and Algebra 2 next year.

DD has a friend who doubled these classes in 10th, and she says she regrets it because it was too much work. But if she had a rigorous summer preview of Geometry, my guess is it wouldn’t have felt so burdensome.  [/quote]
