Algebra 2
Algebra II Grades 10-12 1 Credit
When school starts in the fall, students will have the choice to take the embedded honors option for this course. Parents and students will receive more information about this possibility during the first two weeks of the school year.
Algebra 2 builds off the work done in Algebra 1 with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students extend their thinking in this detailed study of functions to include polynomial, rational, trigonometric, and logarithmic functions. Students also learn the expressions that define functions and model situations to solve equations. Utilizing the Mathematical Practice Standards, together with the content standards, students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations. Topics include solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers, solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms, polynomial, rational, and radical relationships, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, inferences and conclusions from data.
