Algebra 2 is a rigorous one-year course and is the third course in the Regents mathematics sequence for high school students. This course builds on students' work with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions. Students work closely with the expressions that define the functions and continue to expand and hone their abilities to model situations and to solve equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. One-quarter of the year has a high concentration of statistics. Trigonometry is further developed from what is initially introduced in the Common Core Geometry course. The use of graphing calculators is an integral part of this course and owning a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (TI-84 minimum) is most helpful. Students will take the Algebra 2 Regents exam in June.
