This is a fast paced AGS II course for students who are motivated to finish the full year AGS II curriculum in Winter/Spring term. A solid math foundation and more homework time are required to be successful in this course.
AGS II 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 I 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 II.
Who will benefit from this class?
- Students who are taking AGS II at school but need more support to learn AGS II 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.
