[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how does AET/AOS grading work for AP classes. I am looking at the course structure. DD is currently in Geometry for 8th grade. For AET 9th grade it is Integrated Math 1 as AP course.

How do kids perform in general with this course having Geometry background. The reason I am asking is the course description talks about per calculus and calculus. I just want to make sure DD doesntr get overwhelmed. Also. for example B+ in this course correlate to 4.3 as it AP course, is that how it works

AET AP Integrated Mathematics I
Course Code TBD
Grade(s): 9
1 Credit
Prerequisite: None
This course is the first in a series of integrated math courses (two-year sequence of 
courses) designed for AET students. Students study Algebra 2 with Trigonometry and 
AP Precalculus as an integrated progression of math topics and learn additional content 
typically taught in geometry, advanced algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, and 
introductory calculus. The course is inquiry-based with much of the content learned 
through investigations, applications, simulations, and problem-based exercises.[/quote]

I haven't seen anything yet that qualifies as calculus.  
Items I have seen in AOS's class-
matrices, Gaussian elimination, slopes including a method using f(1), 
transformations of figures on a graph, requiring trigonometry and matrix multiplication,
polar coordinates.
A student who has taken geometry shouldn't be overwhelmed.[/quote]
