is anyone in high-school that is taking algebra, trig, and geom. all in one class?

I would be very surprised if you could do that. Algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and trigonometry classes are available separately because they are very different from each other. They also get harder as you go up to the next level.

Not really, you should really talk to your math teachers about it. It leaves no room to get a real answer for in class questions and showing the step by step process for problems.

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

I'm in Foundations of Mathematics, too. You really need to be in class and read everything from the book, and you'll be OK. It's not so difficult.

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?

Math! because I had no idea what they teacher was talking about. I seriously did not understand it and I never understood what every tutor I ever had was telling me. Me being in math class was pointless I just took up space.

I would try taking some guided study courses online. Try www.tesc.edu . They have excellent programs and they are regionally accredited which means their college credits will transfer to almost all the other colleges in the country. I would start with basic algebra, then go to geometry, then intermediate algebra, then statistics.

Don't believe it when people tell you that you don't need to know geometry or algebra.  Depending on what you do in your life you may never have to prove that angles A and B are the same and you may never have to solve for X, but that doesn't mean that algebra and geometry aren't useful.\n\nThe purpose of learning math isn't so much to know math itself (although for some that's essential).  It's more about teaching you how to think.  Studying math helps you to think logically and dispassionately.  That can serve you well in life.\n\nAlso, algebra and geometry teach you how to think abstractly.  People who can't think abstractly tend to be very limited in their thinking and in their lives in general.  If everything you think about has to be concrete and obvious, you are going to be a very narrow person.\n\nIn my opinion, passing basic algebra should be an exit requirement for high school.

hahaha, yes calculus is much harder than algebra 2. you see, there is a reason why you must complete algebra 1 & 2, as well as geometry and trigonometry before you procede to calculus, it is a combination of all, plus many many other things that you have never heard of and will probably never use unless you become a rocket scientist. \n\nmuch much harder

i have a TI-89. i've used it since algebra 1 and i'm in AP Calc BC right now. they're useful and i can play mario on it too.

How many students failed the course?  If it is only a few and most students passed, it may not be the teacher's fault.  Algebra can be tough, and not all of us are able to do it easily.  \n\nThroughout your schooling you will probably have to cope with a number of teachers who teach in a style that doesn't work well for you, so you need to let them know your problems and work out a plan to do something about them.  Sometimes teachers can be very helpful if you can explain why you don't understand something, or what it is you don't understand.  \n\nIn the end, we are all responsible for our own learning, so check out the summer schools in your area or get a tutor.  Possibly ask for help from another student in your class who did well - that student may have some insight into the teacher's teaching style.  Lots of students need some extra time to master algebra, and while it can be very frustrating, it is often because of a combination of factors, including a tough curriculum, large classes, etc., not just the fault of the teacher.\n\nGood luck with it.

Im not sure but I want to take geometry,algebra,language,choir,and theater!!!

I teach geometry and I can tell you it is different for everyone. Usually if you were great in Algebra, Geometry turns out to be hard. Its all because it is a new way of thinking. You have to train your brain to think abstractly and problem solve. So if you did greta on problem solving in algebra then I would say give it a try. But I would not recommend taking Geometry as a 9th grader. Usually at this time in life your brain may not be developed to handle abstact thinking and no matter what you do, the material will always seem out of reach. \n\nYou have 4 years in high school. You dont need to rush the math.

Why yes they are, you are just like me (just younger), i took calculus 1, 2 @16, Calculus 3 and differential equations @17, Vectors and matrices, numerical analysis, and probability and statistics, Partial differential equations 1 @ 18... you get the picture, if you keep up with the math, you can graduate out of highschool with a major in math.  That is a great gift you can give yourself.  I applaud that a 12 year old is so interested in math.  Keep up the awesome work.

This is a hard question to answer as everyone will have a different experience.  I found that my ability to excel in Calculus was completely dependent on my instructor.  \nI did well in Algebra and advanced Algebra, but not as hot in Geometry and I think Calculus tends to favor those who are more algebra and trig based.  The first time I took Calculus I had to drop it halfway through the term because I was failing, never failed any class before and wasn't about to start, I took it again the next term and had a very passionate and competent instructor.  I found calculus to be FUN! the second time around and recieved an A in the class.  Go figure.  I would give it a 7 on your 1-10 scale.  Calculus builds on itself, so as long as you stay with it, get extra help when you need it, don't get behind, you will be fine.  However, if you miss something, nothing else will make sense after that until you get caught up.  On extra thing was that I never had trig which made Calculus a bit harder as it is based on trig.  If you did well in trig you won't have problems with Calculus as you will take what you learned in Trig and use it to do things like find the area under a curve and such.  Calculus is a very practical and useful math subject.  I can remember in Algebra saying, "when will I ever use this".  Of course I did use algebra, and I also use Calculus in my everyday work as an archaeologist with Geographical Information Systems and mapping out suvery plans.\n\nBest of luck with Cal, take it one day at a time, don't get overwhelmed, and most of all, don't be afraid to be the one in the class to say, "I don't quite undestand this, can we go over it again?"
