Hey y'all, I'm trying to plan out my high school course schedule. In what grade do most students take trigonometry? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! It's great you're thinking about your high school course schedule. The grade at which students take trigonometry can vary depending on the school's curriculum and the student's personal math trajectory. However, I can still give you some general guidelines.
Typically, trigonometry is covered as part of an Algebra 2 or Precalculus course. Many schools have a math course sequence that follows this pattern: Algebra 1 in 9th grade, Geometry in 10th grade, Algebra 2/Trig in 11th grade, and Precalculus or Calculus in 12th grade. This progression might vary for students who are working ahead or behind the standard math curriculum.
Keep in mind that your school's guidance counselor will be a great resource in determining the appropriate math courses for your specific situation. They can help tailor your schedule to fit your goals and abilities. Good luck with planning your course schedule, and don't hesitate to reach out for more help if you need it!
