Algebra 2 is not just a repeat of algebra, you are still studying the form of math called algebra but algebra is a wide topic and in Algebra 2 your simply getting into the more advanced aspects of that topic.

Which course is better pre-algebra 1 or pre-algebra 2?

It depends on how far you are on Pre-algebra. If you don't know anything, I recommend you take Pre-algebra 1. If you are advanced in Pre-algebra and you know variables and expressions then I recommend you take Pre-algebra 2


Do you need to take algebra 1?

Yeah, you also need to take geometry and algebra 2 in order to graduate.


Can you skip geometry and just go on to algebra 2?

In many schools, geometry comes before algebra 2. You can ask your school if you can take geo online or at your own time. If you plan to take algebra 2 and trig, it is helpful to take geo.


Can you take trigonometry before taking algebra 2?

I think you need to understand algebra 2 before you begin trigonometry


What do you take after algebra 1 honors?

Algebra 2 Honors? I prefer you ask your school administration rather than Answers.com.


What is regular maths and general maths for tenth standard?

It depends a little on where you are attending school and what courses you have already completed. Usually, Geometry is standard for 10th graders. You usually take geometry after you take Algebra 1 in 9th grade. However, I took Algebra 1 in 8th grade, Geometry in 9th, and Algebra 2 in 10th. So, if you're a little behind in math, you might take Algebra 1. If you're average, you might take Geometry. If you're ahead, you might take Algebra 2.


If you took Algebra 1 part 1 do you have to take Algebra 1 part 2?

yes you would have to because that would be the full course of algebra just at a slower and easier pace


In a group of 60 students 14 students take Algebra 1 20 students take Algebra 2 and 7 students take both subjects. How many students don't take either of these subjects?

Is algebra 2 a required class to get into a university?

Most Universities require the SAT and the highest math that the SAT goes up to is algebra 2, so if you want to do well on the SAT and get a good score in the math section you will need to take an Algebra 2 course.


Do you have to take algebra 2 to graduate?

Most schools require students to take Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Some schools also require their students to take Trig, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. In most cases, the order in which the classes are taken does not matter, but the majority of students take them in the order above.


Can you take precalculus and algebra 2 trig at the same time?

No, you can't. Although similar in concepts, Pre-Calculus is more advanced than Algebra 2. Algebra 2 is taken between Algebra 1 and Geometry or after Geometry and before Pre-Calculus. The reason that you can't take both at the same time is because of the curriculum. Pre-Calculus does not spend nearly as much time on linear topics (linear equations, linear programming, etc.) as Algebra 2 does. Pre-Calculus also almost always is 2 courses in one: Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry. Algebra 2 has very little, if any, trig. Topics that they have in common are quadratics equations/functions, polynomial equations/functions, rational functions, exponential & logarithmic functions (sometimes these are not covered in Algebra 2), possibly conic sections in Algebra 2, definitely in Pre-Calculus, factoring, and probability/sequences/series/statistics. In addition to trigonometry, pre-calculus also covers polar and parametric topics (these will NEVER NEVER NEVER be seen in Algebra 2) and an introduction to limits. So, you must take Algebra 2 before pre-calculus. If you want to take 2 math courses in 1 year, try algebra 1 and geometry (not very common), algebra 2 and geometry (somewhat common), and some schools allow honors students with a solid A in Algebra 2 (assuming you took Algebra 2 before Geometry, this differs between schools) allow you to take geometry and pre-calculus in the same year. The study of proofs is not a major topic in pre-calculus, and proofs make up a majority of geometry.


What types of algebra are there?

There are mainly two types of Algebra. Algebra 1 and Algebra II. Some 8th graders and most 9th graders take Algebra I, and then either take Algebra II as a 10th or 11th grader. It depends on the school in which year the students take the two types.
