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.

What course comes after Algebra 1?

The typical order of math classes in high school is:

Algebra 1. Geometry. Algebra 2/Trigonometry. Pre-Calculus.

Is Geometry part of Algebra 2?

Algebra 2 and Geometry are two completely separate courses. Neither one depends on the other, however, both are prerequisites for Precalculus and both include math skills and concepts that are important for applications in AP Physics 1.
