The typical sequence of math courses in high school follows this order:

1. Algebra 1: Generally taken in 7th or 8th grade, this course includes topics such as linear equations, inequalities, polynomials, factoring, and graphing. This lays the foundation for future math courses.

2. Geometry: Usually taken in 8th-10th grade, geometry focuses on spatial reasoning and involves concepts like congruence, similarity, shapes, and solid figures. You'll learn about angles, triangles, circles, and 3D solids, as well as theorems and postulates.

3. Algebra 2: Taken in 8th-10th grade, this course builds on Algebra 1 concepts and introduces more advanced topics like logarithms, exponential functions, and complex numbers, as well as more in-depth analysis of functions and graphs.

4. Precalculus: Typically taken in 10th-11th grade, precalculus integrates algebra and geometry concepts and serves as a bridge to calculus. You'll explore topics such as trigonometry, conic sections, polar coordinates, and complex numbers.

5. Calculus: Often taken in 11th-12th grade. Not all high school students will take calculus, but it's a common option for those interested in pursuing STEM fields or for those seeking an advanced math course. Calculus is often offered as either AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC, both of which can lead to college credit if high enough scores are achieved on their respective AP exams.

This sequence is fairly standard across high schools, but it can vary. Some students may choose or be placed into advanced or honors courses, allowing them to move through the sequence at a faster pace. Additionally, some schools might combine certain courses or add additional math courses to the curriculum.

It's best to consult with your high school counselor or math teacher to determine the exact sequence for your school and ensure you're on the right track for college applications.
