  • Algebra 2

  • Algebra 2 Image
  • Algebra 2 is the equivalent of a two-semester traditional high school Algebra 2 course. This course provides a thorough treatment of algebraic concepts. The course begins with a study of the fundamentals of linear equalities and inequalities and continues with the study of functions, including piecewise, absolute value, and radical functions. A strong emphasis is placed on quadratic functions, including fitting a curve to data. The course ends with a unit of study on polynomials. An emphasis on matrices to solve systems of equations, systems of equations used with linear programming problems, and complex numbers are addressed as solutions to quadratic equations. The mechanics of algebra with real-life applications is evident throughout the course. A transformational approach to graphing all functions is used with families of related graphs. Algebraic and graphical solutions are used when appropriate. Graphing calculators are an integral part of this course.

    Algebra 2 uses the Apex curriculum resource, and is offered in two semester segments. Semester A covers Units 1-6 on the syllabus, and Semester B covers Units 7-12. Students wishing to take Trimester or Quarter credits would adjust accordingly.
