Course Description
The objective of this course is to equip students with the confidence and knowledge needed to succeed in their future educational endeavors. For some students, Algebra 2 will be the last math course they take in high school, and for others, it will be a required stepping stone for more advanced math.
In Algebra 1 students learned how to model the equation of a line on a coordinate plane. In Algebra 2, students will expand their knowledge to include graphing and solving quadratic, polynomial, trigonometric, conic and other advanced equations.
