3. What is Algebra 2?
Algebra 2 continues students’ study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities, and matrices.
Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis should be placed on practical applications and modeling.
**We recommend honors level geometry for students who earned an A or B in Algebra 1. However, regardless of your grade in Algebra 1, you must be willing to put in the extra effort and have a strong work ethic, to achieve grades you are used to. **
