Will I be in Algebra 2 or will I have to repeat?

Is this a new program in your school district? Regardless, it seems to me that if you pass a course for high school credit, especially with an A or B, you shouldn't have to repeat it once you reach high school.\n\nIs your brother the jealous type? If so, I wouldn't put too much stake in what he said. Don't let him nor anyone else hold you back from trying out Algebra II as a HS freshman.\n\nMore power to you! \n\nI'm envious because my school system (8th grade class of 1980!) offered only general math up through 8th grade, though I and a few others were allowed a chance to complete Algebra I in the first semester and Geometry in the second semester as freshmen.\n\n\n\nBut to repeat:\n\nDO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE HOLD YOU BACK.

In the US, Trig is normally considered as a high school level course, however, it is not a required course to graduate. I believe Algebra is the highest of the high school math courses that are required for graduation, although some schools may still only require Geometry.\nIn the US the typical sequence for math courses is Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry and then Calculus (which is usually taken at the high school level as Pre-Calculus, but may also be taken as full "AP" Calculus, where the "AP" stands for "Advanced Placement" and means that the student can get University-level credit for that course when they go to College).

It depends on the school and how advanced the student is in their aptitude and experience. Advanced algebra, geometry and trigonometry are all fairly common. Occasionally you see some calculus for some students.

don't take it personally. they're just joking around. it's all pretend. fun and games, y'know. algebra two is pretty tough. when are you gonna take algebra three?

I can help, I've taken College Algebra, Calc. I, Calc. II and I've also taken many other math courses, and I'm also studying to be a computer programmer, so if you need help you can contact me at assassin7262002@yahoo.com

i do not recommend it unless you want to take lots of advanced math classes in high school\n\ni started to take algebra 1 in 8th grade, but it was too hars, so i dropped back to pre-algebra\n\nin 9th grade, my algebra class was easier because i had learned more and was in a regular class\n\nyou could drop back, or stay in it, it drop it. UNLESS, you want to take calculus or trigiometry in high school

Why did you get singled out for compacted math? Why starting Monday? Isn't the school year almost over? There should only be about 6 weeks left, right?\n\nIf you were singled out because of your advanced understanding of current material, then you should actually welcome the opportunity to be free of the snail's pace of the rest of the class. Do whatever it is that you are currently doing. However, you will need to read much more carefully than you have in the past.\n\nMoreoever, you should work more of the advanced problems towards the end of each problem set. Don't waste your time with the trivial problems at the beginning. That is, if you do indeed have a more advanced understanding of past material.\n\nOne word of caution is appropriate here: Just because you are placed in this so-called compacted math, it in no way means that you are "smarter" than anyone else. All it means is that you may be ready to move on to other topics slightly ahead of the others. If the others were serious and actually studied, then they would be right there with you.\n\nI've worked with math students studying at top Ivy League schools and I've worked with students at the local community college. The difference I see is preparation and motivation. The cognitive ability of both groups is more or less equal.

It is better to have an algebra background before taking geometry.  It is not absolutely necessary, but certainly better.

Take applied math subjects first

You should be fine.  Just get some practice exams similar to the one you will be expecting.  Most standardized math exams have questions that are the same.  Work the practice exam.  If you can not remember things, hire a tutor for a few hours, that will speed things up greatly.  Don't stress, just practice.  You will do fine.  If this seems to daunting, go to a learning center at a local community college.  You can usually get free tutoring for hours.  Good luck.

You could be, but who knows? You might be brilliant! Doesn't one course build upon the other? (Except parts of Linear Algebra, which is somewhat different, however it does use integrals and infinite series and lots of stuff I seem to recall might require that you know differential equations and integration . ) It has been 17 years since I had this series of math in college, but that's what my vague remembrances tell me! I'm not sure how often basic math curricula change over time but probably not that much...

If you complete an algebra course, you learn how to solve problems when not all the numbers are there for you.\n\nYou will also learn to notice patterns and develop more logical thinking skills.

My nephew just started his classes in this last year at college. To answer your question, it depends on whether your school offers it in 10th grade. It didn't here. he had to do a lot of math though. All the way through calculas. and maintain a good grade. Good Luck.

You have a 3/4 chance in the first level, which means 75% of the time you'll get to level 2.  In level 2 you have a 3/4 chance again, so your chances of getting to level 3 from the begining is (3/4)*(3/4) = 9/16 or 56.25%.  Level three is 3/4 again, so your chances of getting to level 4 are (3/4)*(3/4)*(3/4).  I'm not going to work out what that is, but you should be able to put it into a caculator easily enough.  In level 4 you have a 1/2 (i.e. 2/4) chance of winning so you have a (3/4)*(3/4)*(3/4)*(1/2) chance of getting to level 5.  If you don't see that pattern yet you probably shouldn't be taking whatever math class this is for.  I'm not going to finish it for you (you should do your own homework), but if you work out the rest of it and post your solution I'm sure someone can tell you if it's right.

algebra is a broad topic. try to go back to ur notes and look for the formulas that your teacher has given to you. better to stick on what is in your notes and textbooks. try this also, ask someome who has taken this subject before...his information might help you...good luck.

If you have to ask this? You need to repeat 5th grade.

holy crap........i never even passed algebra 1 \nsorry
