Algebra 2A/AGS 3A is the first course of Algebra 2/AGS 3, which is usually scheduled in the Fall term.
Algebra 2 / AGS 3 is the full school year curriculum which takes 2 semesters of one school year, from Sept-Jun to complete. F5: Algebra 2A / AGS 3A takes one semester (usually in the fall term). After this course, students should progress to F5: Algebra 2B / AGS 3B, which will be the second half of the course. Students who successfully complete Algebra 2/AGS 3 course are ready to take the F6: PreCalculus course or take the SAT math test preparation.
This is also the supportive/enhanced AGS 3 class taught in a different way. We are teaching AGS 3 at sunshine using the Holt California Algebra 2 curriculum to build up the fundamental concepts and skills in the sequence that AGS 3 requires, with much more in-depth understanding.
Who will benefit from this class?
- Students who are taking AGS 3 at school but need more support to learn AGS 3 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.
