Course Story

Algebra 2 is about functions and their associated equations. By the end of the course, students should be able to sketch the general shape and name identifying characteristics of absolute value, quadratic and other polynomial, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. They should recognize how equivalent forms of expressions and equations illuminate different characteristics and provide opportunities to solve equations, and they should be able to use technology (i.e. graphing utilities) to verify algebraic solutions as well as solve any equation involving those functions.
