Are there specific reasons why the HS math sequence starts with Algebra 1? We are discussing the pro’s and con’s of teaching Geometry in 9th grade vs. Algebra I.
The standards do not specify how the high school standards should be arranged into courses. Maybe you are looking at Appendix A, which is one example of how it might be done. But it’s just that, an example. Notice that Appendix A also gives a sample integrated sequence. There may be all sorts of practical reasons to start with Algebra I (e.g., because that’s what everyone else is doing and it is useful to coordinate with them) but there is no specification of that in the standards.
