Algebra II

Algebra II is a continuation of Algebra I, but covers more abstract topics that will be difficult at first. This course will also help students experience math in a new way by being encouraged to use different strategies, showcase their work in multiple representations, and increase their confidence they already possess in mathematics overall.

To assist students in becoming more self-sufficient and personalize their learning, this math class will utilize learning menus as a method of allowing students the pathway in which to showcase their learning. Every human possess unique strengths in their writing skills, artistic abilities, learning styles, and individual characteristics, so these algebra II students will be encouraged to choose how they would like to assess their learning as much as possible.
