YES
You may sign up for a math course in the fall
and a math course in the spring. This may be
necessary if you are hoping to take both of
the AP courses that we offer at Holmen
(AP Statistics and AP Calculus)
How do I know if I should take
Algebra II or Algebra II-4?
• It depends! Please meet with your Geometry
teacher. He/she will be able to recommend
which course you should take. Please take
his/her advice!!
• Algebra 2 is a fast paced course for students
that have a solid foundation from Algebra I and
Geometry. Plan to have homework daily and to
come in and get additional help regularly.
• Algebra 2-4 is a slower paced course for
students that have taken Algebra 1 and
Geometry and done alright, but need more time
with concepts and like a slower paced course.
New Course Offerings in Math
We are offering 2 new course in the
math department!
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING (1 Term)
DISCRETE MATHEMATICS (1 Term)
You should have strong math skills (C or Better) in
Algebra 2 or permission from Geometry Teacher
to sign up for these courses. Great courses!!
