333N Algebra 2 CP

 Gr 11 |6 Credits | Year-Long | 5x per Cycle

*Prerequisite: Algebra 1

Algebra 2 will rely on and extend the knowledge obtained in first-year algebra and geometry. The study of functions will be approached from a variety of perspectives (e.g., symbolically and graphically), emphasizing the importance and representation of functions in “real world” applications.   Focus will fall on the following functions: linear, absolute value, quadratic, radical, exponential and polynomial. Students will analyze and compare these functions throughout the year. Interpreting data displays and an introduction to statistics will also be covered in this course. A scientific calculator will be required for this course. Completion of Algebra 1 is a requirement for this course.

Essential Skills: 

• Create and interpret algebraic representations using correct notation

• Simplify, solve and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions and equations

• Draw valid conclusions and justify reasoning and solutions
