Math Pathways

Advice for acceleration of your math pathway:
While SHS staff does not recommend pathway acceleration, we understand that sometimes circumstances warrant such a move. If you must accelerate to meet your goals, please use the following guidance:

-Use the 7 period day to take Algebra 1 and Geometry concurrently during
- grade 9.

-Take Geometry over the summer or online during grades 9-10 following
successful completion of Algebra 1.

Note: We DO NOT recommend accelerating through Algebra 2 at any time, as the contents of this course are foundational to success in IB Math (SL and HL). Gaps that occur in compressed Algebra 2 courses invariably hurt student conceptual understanding and course performance in more advanced levels of math.
