Algebra II

Algebra II is a one-year college preparatory course that is designed to develop students’ understanding of sophisticated algebraic concepts.  The course will focus on extending students’ knowledge of Algebra I topics and developing their understanding of new topics including but not limited to linear equations & inequalities, graphing, rational expressions, functions, quadratic equations, logarithmic equations, and exponential equations.

The goals and objectives of Algebra II are to develop a higher level of confidence and competence in mathematical problem solving, to extend understanding of sophisticated algebraic concepts, to learn to work collaboratively, to demonstrate understanding of mathematical concepts through written & verbal communications, to learn effective use of advanced algebraic techniques to solve problems and appropriate use of the calculator and other technology in mathematical problem solving.
