HS Algebra 2 (Part 2)

Prerequisites: Algebra I and Geometry.

Students focus on mastery of a single skill, and then move on to learn new concepts, laying a foundation for ever-increasing levels of proficiency. Students will study concepts such as axioms, relations and functions, absolute value, graphs, linear equations, operations with polynomials, radical expressions, laws of radicals, quadratic equations and formulas, quadratic relations and systems, exponential functions, matrices, progressions, permutations, and probability.
