AGS 2 starts with the Algebra part, which is corresponding to F3: Algebra 1B. AGS 2 is the full school year curriculum. This is the supportive/enhanced AGS II class taught in a different way. We are teaching AGS II at sunshine using the Holt California Algebra I / Geometry curriculum to build up the fundamental concepts and skills in the sequence that AGS 2 requires, with much more in-depth understanding. We also use the AGS II curriculum to ensure the class is aligning with the topics in AGS 2.
AGS 2A is the first course of AGS 2, which is usually scheduled in the Fall term. Students who finish this course should progress to AGS 2B course in the Winter/Spring term to complete the full course of AGS 2
Who will benefit from this class?
- Students who are taking AGS 2 at school but need more support to learn AGS 2 systematically with clear instruction and more in-depth understanding.
- Students who want to learn ahead of what they are learning at school to prepare for the skip-level math placement test for the next school year.
