I think this discussion is in regard to this chart: [u]https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/poolesvillehs/departments/math/MathPathways.pdf[/u]

and there is no arrow that leads from algebra 2  to honors algebra 2, because that would not qualify for credit.  There is two year algebra 2, but that's a different course.  Regardless, what the other PP is interested in is not a "pathway" but what's appropriate for a special circumstance.  Absolutely, students jump from non-honors to honors track and vice versa.  What you can't do is skip a class.  My DC took honors algebra 2 in a mixed classroom, it just required a couple extra problems here and there, honors precalc is going fine.[/quote]

Can you not read?  The algebra 2 to honors algebra 2 is right in the middle of the doc (9th to 10th)?  There is no pathway that leads from regular algebra 2 to honors precal.  [/quote]
NP
I have no idea how Poolesville can have that as a pathway, because it is absolutely not an approved MCPS math pathway. The document is from 2016 - may not be current.

[quote]DS was in regular Algebra II (as a 10th grader) for the fall semester. He has done very well.

In early Nov., his teacher recommended that he switch to Honors Algebra II for the spring semester.

He's not sure that he wants to make the switch for the spring.

Next year he will look at pre-calc or honors pre-calc.
...just wanted to find out if anyone was successful at going from non-honors Algebra II to honors pre-calc. [/quote]
Yes, you can switch mid-year from a regular level version of a course to an honors version of a course, and vice versa. If your math teacher is making a recommendation to switch now from Alg 2 to Honors Alg 2, I would do it. You will be better prepared for Honors Precalc than going in from regular Precalc.[/quote]
