Algebra II

Course Overview

Algebra II builds on students’ knowledge of algebra and geometry as they encounter more challenging problems in newer contexts. It covers linear and quadratic functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, analytic geometry, graphing techniques, the use of matrices to solve systems of equations and inequalities, conic sections, and complex numbers. Students work closely with the expressions that define functions and develop their ability to model situations and solve equations. By the end of this course, students will have improved confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems and be well prepared for precalculus and beyond.
