WELCOME!
This course is the third course in the regular college preparatory program for mathematics and is designed to further your skills and knowledge in order to give you the necessary background for higher-level mathematics courses. A primary goal of Algebra II is to teach you to conceptualize, analyze, and identify relationships among a variety of functions. Other concepts that will be further developed include radicals, exponentials, data statistics, sequences, and trigonometry. Much emphasis is placed on the analysis, understanding, and explanation of concepts rather than memorization of facts.
