Math 2 & Math 2a

Math 2:

Math 2 is the second year course for our college prep sequence. It continues the exploration of algebra concepts including rational exponents, absolute value, graphing and solving quadratic equations, square roots, the quadratic formula, and completing the square. Further, students explore Geometry concepts including logic and proof, right triangle trigonometry, circles, area, volume, and probability, quadratic functions, factoring, polynomial expressions and exponents.

Math 2a:

The Math 2a course is set up to meet the needs of students (grades 9-10) with demonstrated talent in mathematics coming out of Math 1 (with teacher recommendation), and of ninth graders who do exceedingly well in Math 1. Math 2 A is an accelerated course with more difficult problems than regular Math 2. It is faster paced and incorporates supplemental topics with an emphasis on logic and proof. There is not an additional grade point awarded in this class and students should be aware that this is a very rigorous and challenging course.
