[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is taking precal in 9th grade a good idea? Then calc in 10th. Then you can take diff eq and multivar. Then linear algebra and stats. And take all of them again in college? [/quote] Allows for more time to be spent towards learning calculus. DC did precal in 9th, and followed it up with two years of solid calculus foundation - Calc AB in 10th and Calc BC in 11th, and did Multivar/Linear in Senior year. Colleges give credits for AP Calc AB and BC, so for middle class families like ours it turned out to be a huge money saver to take them HS. [/quote] This makes no sense. If your child is smart enough to do be so far ahead in calculus 1 year of calculus in high school will get you full credit. No need for AB and BC. And you don’t need multi variable in high school. There is no college credit for that.[/quote]
