I just want to say as the homeschooling parent of a highly talented, performing arts, non-math, conservatory-bound kid I am loving this thread! We, too, are playing with wording to accommodate her need to take longer in each math subject. Our goal is enough math to survive the SAT/ACT (emphasis: SURVIVE).
Our hope/plan is her transcript will look something like this:
9th: Math 9 Algebra 1A (which was Pre Algebra w/heavy review and a bit of Algebra 1)
10th: Math 10 Algebra 1B (completion of aforementioned Algebra 1)
11th: Math 11 Geometry (standard course, as much as we can get through, or select topics)
12th: Math 12 Math Connections (will follow Oak Meadow Course Syllabus) http://oakmeadow.com/news/courses/math-connections/
