We'll probably go with giving the test in the middle of PreCalculus. Optimally, I'd like to do away with all Regents above IA and hope to discuss this in the future, but for now it's temporary fix.

"Experts estimate that by 2008 America will have generated twenty million more jobs for people who are mathematical problem solvers. Unfortunatately it has also been estimated that 60 percent of all new jobs in the early twenty-first century will require skills that are possessed by only 20 percent of the current workforce." - Jo Boaler - What's Math Got to Do With It?

Subject: Possible solution to A2/Trig
We have had this discussion a few times within our district and I'm wondering what other people think. Everyone keeps talking about how packed the A2/Trig curriculum is and how so much of it is Pre-Calculus material. Has anyone else considered teaching A2/Trig as a 1 1/2 year course (I know it was rough as Math A/Math B) giving the Regents in January and then finishing the PreCalc course from January to June?
