[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started in Algebra I in 9th grade but wanted to "catch up" so took both Geometry and Algebra II in 10th grade. Basically, they opted for a second math class where they'd normally have an elective. This seems more sane than cramming a year-long course into the summer.[/quote] This wouldn’t be possible in most curriculums today. Geometry is no longer a distinct subject taught for a full year, it’s a few topics rolled into what is otherwise an algebra class. It should all just be renamed because, algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, is really a three year algebra sequence taught on a spiral. Each with review and new topics. Really this means taking one in summer is fine, the new material is reinforced the following year. As long as it’s self motivated, there shouldn’t be anxiety. May even boost confidence. But to OPs question, the current trajectory will be fine, too.[/quote]
