[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^To PP, my 7th grader taking Algebra ll/Geometry will likely take some form of Pre-Calculus in 8th grade.  (We don’t know which yet; depends on an upcoming exams among other factors.)

But this sequence is not typical.

Are you the OP? Can you please confirm that your school is actually combining Algebra II and *Geometry*, not Trig? This is baffling to me and I’m 99% certain you are just making a mistake in what you type, and it’s very hard to take seriously. It is unheard of for a school to combine those two. [/quote]

Algebra II/Geometry is the name of the course my 7th grader is in—last year’s course was Algebra I/Geometry.  This is at BASIS DC, a public charter school.

I believe my 7th grader is taking the same course typically offered to 9th graders at SWW.[/quote]

I would just be careful with this.  My Big3 kid has some of these Basis DC kids in his/her pre-calc class (Basis kids are in 9th, rest of the class is in 10th) and they do not do well.  their foundation is super weak. my kid says they are solid B students which frustrates them to no end--they're used to doing well.  [/quote]

To clarify--basis kids transferred to Big3 for 9th.  I'm sure you can probably figure out who they are.  It may be worth talking to them or their parents.  they are not happy with the fast but shallow math instruction they got a Basis. [/quote]
