Description: Algebra 2 is the study of functions. Students will explore different patterns and relationships and learn to
represent them with various models (transformed functions). Students will use these mathematical models to describe
events in different ways in order to predict what will happen in the future. The particular functions that will be studied
in depth are: polynomial (linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, etc.), exponential, and logarithmic. Functions are explored
through words, tables, graphs, and equations and real-world situations help the students see their models in context.
Function operations and transformations provide a common thread which links the units of study. Students enrolled in
the lab section experience a lower student-to-teacher ratio and use the extra time to extend classroom concepts, move
at a flexible pace, clarify directions, and reinforce strategies and procedures.

piecewise. Functions are explored through words, tables, graphs, and equations and real-world situations help the
students see their models in context. Function operations and transformations provide a common thread which links the
units of study. In addition, matrices, series, and sequences are also studied. The curriculum is distinguished by a
difference in pace, rigor, and the quality of work, not merely the quantity; it is designed for students who have
