Math 2

Course Description

Math 2 continues students’ study of topics from algebra, geometry, and statistics by using real-world situations and finding mathematical connections and solutions. Students will apply multiple forms of mathematical relationships to approach exercises in different ways. These include graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relationships. The new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues, prepare students to think and reason mathematically, and emphasize mathematical modeling.

This program includes the most critical topics addressed in the CCSS Integrated Pathway: Mathematics 2 content map. Because of the pandemic, the list of topics has been prioritized to focus on what helps students most effectively continue their growth in mathematics.

  • Extend the laws of exponents to rational exponents
  • Compare key characteristics of quadratic functions with those of linear and exponential functions
  • Create and solve equations and inequalities involving linear, exponential, and quadratic expressions
  • Extend work with probability
  • Establish criteria for similarity of triangles based on dilations and proportional reasoning
