Would you take geometry first, and then Trig and then Pre-calculus?

eumyang said:I did Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and then Precalculus, but this was because I took Algebra I in 7th grade. I'm told that this is the preferred sequence for those who start Algebra I earlier than 9th grade. (I'm talking about middle school/high school in the US.) In my school Precalculus consisted of College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Analytic Geometry.
The recommended order for taking math classes may vary slightly depending on individual academic goals and requirements, but a general progression is typically as follows:
It is not recommended to skip any math classes, as each one builds upon the concepts and skills learned in the previous class. However, if you are confident in your understanding of a particular subject, you may be able to test out of that class or place into a higher level course.
The need for statistics and discrete math classes will depend on your specific academic or career goals. For example, if you are pursuing a degree in a STEM field, you may need to take both classes. It is best to consult with your academic advisor to determine if these classes are necessary for your program.
If your goal is to major in math, it is important to start with the foundational classes, such as Algebra I and Geometry, before moving on to more advanced courses. It is also recommended to take classes in a sequential order, as each class will build upon the concepts learned in the previous one.
It is not uncommon for students to take multiple math classes in the same semester. However, it is important to consider your workload, time management skills, and ability to handle the material before enrolling in multiple math classes simultaneously. It may be beneficial to consult with your academic advisor for guidance on balancing your course load.
