Algebra 2, Semester 2

Course Description:

Algebra 2 continues students' study of functions including polynomial, exponential, rational, and radical functions. They build and interpret functions that model a relationship between two quantities by analyzing key features of the graphs and equations. Students make sense of periodic behavior as they study trigonometric functions and build fluency with values of sine, cosine, and tangent at various angle measures. Equation solving strategies expand to include higher degree polynomials and quadratics over the complex number system and exponential equations using the properties of logarithms.   Transformations are included in all units pertaining to functions. (Concurrent enrollment in geometry is an option.)

Algebra 2 Honors:  

Students will master all of the topics from Algebra 2 listed above, with a variety of additional topics to include an in-depth study of asymptotic behaviors associated with radical and rational functions.

Semester 2 of Algebra 2 fulfills the statistics graduation requirement (semester one is a prerequisite).  Concurrent enrollment in Geometry is an option.  

The curriculum for this course is under “additional math options.”
