[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our middle school just has Math 6 and AIM. Interesting how schools are doing different things..... I seriously wonder what happens to these kids in HS. Unless its dumbed down I would think VERY few kids should be taking Calculus in 11th grade. [/quote] It really is the standard trajectory for college bound students, and it doesn't cause issues. Many students take calc as a junior, but there are three options and MCPS allows credit for any/all of them: calc with applications, AP calc AB, AP calc BC. My oldest DC took calc AB junior year, calc BC senior, and still found calc in college more rigorous and rewarding. It's also common for students with less interest in math to take Calc with Applications as a junior, followed by AP Stats as a senior. My impression, is MCPS pushes off too much of high school math into pre-calc. Which means it's not a bad idea to rush a little to get to pre-calc by 10th grade, and then stretch out.[/quote]
