Hey folks, just wondering here, what's the most common math class that freshmen in high school usually take? I'm getting ready to schedule my classes for next year, and math isn't my strong suit.
The most common math course for freshman students is Algebra 1, but the exact class can differ based on your middle school math progression and what your high school offers. If you completed Algebra 1 in middle school, then you'd likely move up to Geometry.
It's worth mentioning that if you find math challenging, don't rush to pursue more advanced courses. It's better to have a strong grasp of the foundations in Algebra and Geometry before moving on to more complex subjects like Algebra 2, Trigonometry, or Pre-calculus. Chat with your current math teacher or a school counselor to help you decide what the most suitable math course would be for you. They can assess your understanding of math thus far and guide you towards a class that you'll both learn from and feel comfortable with.
