[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]
Ok, so what’s happening is that your school takes the 3-year progression of Alg I/Geometry/Alg II and compresses it into 2 years, which makes more sense as an acceleration method than squeezing all of Geometry and all of either Algebra into one year.

Regardless, that is not a typical math progression for either public or private, and does not represent a failing in any other school. [/quote]
