[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned that Wheaton HS is switching to offering Alg 1 followed by Alg 2, and then geometry. You could ask the HS counselor at the school your daughter will be attending what they recommend. [/quote]

Can we please get the entire district to progress to this.  [b]Even better eliminate geometry as a separate course altogether and make Algebra a three year course sequence where Geometry and Trigonometry are purposefully integrated. [/b] [/quote]

I think this is a great idea, but I don't know if it would work with the state requirements to take a separate algebra and geometry class (with state tests at the end - at least for algebra). Are there counties in the state that do this?[/quote]

The requirement is:

4 credits,1 including instruction in algebra aligned with the MCA for algebra or 1 or more credits in subsequent mathematics courses for which Algebra 1 is a prerequisite, and 1 with the content standards for geometry.

The content standards for geometry would be met in this scenario.  They could work with the state to determine the best point in the sequence to take the Alg1 MCAP.[/quote]
