Geometry is typically taken before algebra 2 and after algebra 1. ... Since geometry covers the basic rules for trigonometric ratios and introduces students to relationships between shape dimensions, it would benefit the student to study geometry before taking algebra 2, which does a deeper dive into trigonometric topics.

Does pre-algebra come before geometry?

Some schools teach algebra 1 and 2 back-to-back then move on to geometry, some schools include trigonometry with geometry or pre-calculus instead of algebra 2, and some students take pre-algebra or a similar course if they need to strengthen their math skills before taking algebra 1.

Is geometry in pre-algebra?

Pre-algebra may include subjects from geometry, especially subjects that further understanding of algebra in applications to area and volume.
