Description: This course is a continuation of Algebra 1A that students completed in middle school. Some topics presented are properties of real numbers, function notation, and evaluation of variable expressions. The students will learn to solve equations and inequalities, graph functions, and solve systems of linear equations. Also, this course contains the study of non-linear relationships, which includes operations with exponents and radicals, polynomial expressions, and solutions to radical equations. Finally, students will learn to solve and graph quadratic relationships along with topics in statistics and probability. Throughout the course, algebraic skills will be linked to problem solving and critical thinking.

Description: In Algebra II students will review essential Algebra 1 concepts such as graphing linear equations, solving linear systems, and factoring polynomials. A major theme throughout this course is transformations of graphs; transformations will be analyzed with the following functions: quadratic, polynomial, radical, and rational. Students will also solve equations involving the same types of functions. Sequences and series will be introduced after students have a solid foundation with logarithms. Students will also go through an in-depth statistics unit, wherein students explore how mean and standard deviation are related to each other, as well as explore data distributions.
