I want to be a student-teacher for an Algebra 2 class. However, on the application, I have to check a box next to the grade that I want to student-teach for. I know that Algebra 2 is typically taken in 9th or 10th grade, but I'm only allowed to select one grade. Which grade should I choose?
For a straight track student, Algebra 1 would be grade 9, Geometry grade 10, and Alg 2 grade 11. For an advanced track student (who takes Alg 1 in 8th grade), Alg 2 would be grade 10.
After which the sequencing is heavily dependent on their "track" (four year university/community college/ work force)
College Track:
11th Grade- Pre-Calc
12th Grade- Calculus/Statistics
Non College:
11th Grade-Advanced Functions and Modeling
12th Grade-Discrete Mathematics
However it is important to know that with the advent of Common Core many schools are abandoning these courses in favor of classes such as Math I, Math II, and Math III, all of which are less associated with a specific discipline of mathematics. I would recommend that you contact the department head(s) of the school(s) that you are interested in to inquire as to what system they use.
In my middle/high school, the order was Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and then either onto the trig/pre-calc track or algebra III and/or statistics.
College prep students took Algebra I in middle school and moved straight to Algebra II in 9th grade.
Some students start their HS sequence in 7th, others in 8th, others in 9th. Additionally, some students take Geometry and Algebra 2 in the same year. The bottom line is students can take Algebra 2 in 9th, 10th or 11th grade.
Look up the course catalog at the school where you want to student teach and see when most of the kids are taking that class. At our high school the college bound kids would have taken Algebra 2 as sophomores.

This. In our town for example, Algebra 1 is 8th, Algebra 2 is 9th, geometry 10th, trig 11, calc 12th.

Every school district work differently. Our district starts Algebra for really advanced kids at 7th grade. The Advanced kids take Algebra in 8th grade. They take the course and final like a HS freshman would (normal track is Algebra I as freshman requirement).
