Why do you recommend Geometry before Algebra II?
Why do you recommend Geometry before Algebra II?
We often get asked about course sequences. We find that students are better prepared for the abstract concepts in Algebra II by taking Geometry first. Geometry reinforces Algebra I skills, aiding in Algebra II readiness. Additionally, Mr. D believes Algebra I fosters left-brain thinking, while Geometry enhances right-brain thinking, promoting a holistic approach to Algebra II.
