Description: Students enrolling in this course are expected to apply prior algebra knowledge in order to enhance current
algebra practices. Algebra 2 is the study of functions: polynomial (linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic), piece-wise, exponential,
logarithmic, radical, and rational. Functions are explored through multiple representations and practical application
problems show connections between course content and real world application. Function operations and transformations
provide a common thread to link 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 on homework,
and reinforce strategies and procedures.

Description: This course is a rigorous continuation of Algebra 1 and is designed for students who have demonstrated an
advanced level of achievement in mathematics. Students enrolling in this course are expected to apply prior algebra
knowledge in order to enhance current algebra practices. Algebra 2 is the study of functions: polynomial (linear, quadratic,
cubic, etc.), piece-wise, exponential, logarithmic, radical, rational, and recursive. Functions are explored through multiple
representations and challenging applications. Function operations and transformations provide a common thread to link
the units of study. The curriculum is distinguished by a difference in pace, rigor, and the quality of work, not merely the
quantity.
