Course Description

All the mathematical concepts listed below will be investigated through functions, graphs, and word problems. The calculator will provide an enhancement of the material. Students will: gain an understanding of different algebraic models, including Linear, Absolute Value, Quadratic, Exponential, Logarithmic, Rational, Irrational, and Higher-Order Polynomials; study systems of linear equations and inequalities; quadratic relations such as circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas; and sequences and series.

This class has summer homework.

Algebra 2 Virtual Lab is available for students who would benefit from an extra live practice session.

To be successful in this class:

Students should expect to complete two to three hours of work outside of class for each hour in class. Tests and assignments will be given to take home, to evaluate progress. A midterm and final exam will be administered, in class, at the end of each semester.
