Algebra 2

All students preparing for postsecondary and Advanced technical studies are expected to achieve the Algebra 2 standards. A thorough treatment of Advanced Algebraic concepts will be provided through the study of functions, "families of functions," equations, inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, polynomials, rational and radical equations, complex numbers, and sequences and series which will include the use of the data cycle. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications and modeling throughout the course of study. Graphing utilities, computers, spreadsheets, and other appropriate technology tools will be used to assist in teaching and learning. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test. Students will participate in these tests only when they have not yet earned sufficient credit for graduation and/or satisfied federal testing requirements. Algebra 2 is required for Advanced Studies Diploma.
