[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is listed as the minimum math requirements: MATH (minimum course-level requirements) • Grade 5 Arithmetic B • Grade 6 Pre-Algebra • Grade 7 Algebra and Geometry I • Grade 8 Algebra and Geometry II • Grade 9 Pre-Calculus A • Grades 9–10 AP Pre-Calculus • Grade 10 Pre-Calculus B • Grade 11 AP Calculus AB • Grade 12 Math Capstone Three years of precalculus! Is that out of date?[/quote] It's not 3 years of pre-calculus. About half of the kids do a single year of precalculus in 9th grade, followed by calculus in 10th. The other half have weaker math foundations and take a 2 year sequence, with Calculus in 11th grade. The two year sequence lets kids slow down enough that they can master the material, plus it is set up to help them shore up whatever Algebra II foundations they're lacking. [/quote]
