Can you take geometry over the summer?
Taking a regular Geometry in the summer is a good idea. This will give you a little jump start. Taking the Hon Geometry in 9th grade is also a good path if you have other use of summer time for other fun and self improvement activities.
Can I take geometry and Trigonometry at the same time?
I do not recommend that you do them concurrently because trigonometry uses geometry. In case you are having problems with algebra, I recommend Introduction to Algebra before you do geometry. trigonometry is part of the study of geometry. Since you are preparing for math you will want to study both.
Can you take Trigonometry before geometry?
Your background. You should already be familiar with algebra and geometry before learning trigonometry. From geometry, you should know about similar triangles, the Pythagorean theorem, and a few other things, but not a great deal.
Can you take Algebra 2 in the summer?
You’d probably want to double-check with your school counselor that you’re allowed to take Algebra 2 over the summer and review what summer programs align with your school’s criteria. My PreCalc class was very similar to my Trigonometry class. Algebra II was pretty easy, too.
What year should you take geometry?
Most American high schools teach algebra I in ninth grade, geometry in 10th grade and algebra II in 11th grade – something Boaler calls “the geometry sandwich.”
Should I take pre calc over the summer?
Precalculus, which includes elements of algebra and trigonometry, is a prerequisite for studying calculus. If you want to enroll in a calculus class in the fall semester, you might need to take precalculus over the summer. You may even be able to take college classes online.
Which is harder trigonometry or calculus?
Calculus is harder than trigonometry. Because most of the trigonometry is used in calculus.
Can you skip geometry?
You may also be able to skip geometry completely, depending on how good you are at math. Really, the main necessary part in geometry you need are the special right triangles.
Should I take geometry or Algebra 2 this summer?
If you do take the geometry class this summer, you might have to take a placement test at your school in the fall to demonstrate that you know the material. Algebra 2 isn’t necessarily reliant on taking Geometry. In other words, you don’t NEED to know geometry to take Algebra 2.
Can I take AP Calculus BC and AP Calc during the summer?
If it’s not possible to do it in the summer, you could potentially take them both during your sophomore year (double up) if your school allows it. A friend of mine did that and now he’s taking AP Calculus BC next year.
Does my GC know my ability to do online math?
However, it may be a required course sequence in the school district. Your Math teacher may know your ability, but your GC would know the school and district requirement and can direct you to the online or summer course that would be accepted by your school. Also, your GC would help you in class registration for next semester anyway.
