niabost:

If she gets an A grade she would be on course to do Math HL (in the IB Program) in 11th and 12 grades .If she gets a B she would do Math Methods SL in the 11th and 12th Grades

Not sure if I follow – is she is a 9th grader finishing algebra 2 (two grade levels ahead)? Shouldn’t her normal progression be:

10th grade: trigonometry and precalculus
11th grade: calculus
12th grade: post-calculus math at a college (optional)

What would her 10th grade math course be in each scenario? Either way, it looks like both IB tracks result in her completing not as high a level of math as one would expect for a 9th grade student in algebra 2.
