Course Title: Algebra 2 Credit Value: 1.0

Course 102310 Term(s) Offered: Full Year

Number:

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 and Geometry with an 80% or Open to Grades: 9, 10, 11,

higher or concurrent enrollment in Geometry 12

Description: Detailed study of functions (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and radical), function operations,

matrices, probability, series, sequences, and statistics are used to develop problem-solving skills, critical thought processes,

and decision-making techniques. Practical application problems show connections between course content and other

fields while written practice provides reinforcement of concepts and extension of communication skills.

Course Title: Algebra 2 with Lab Credit Value: 1.0

Course Number: 102311 Term(s) Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Algebra 1 and Geometry or teacher Open to Grades: 10, 11, 12

recommendation

Note(s): Class meets 5 days per week and then meets on either A or B

days for additional class time each week.

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.

Course Title: Honors Algebra 2 Credit Value: 1.0

Course Number: 102320 Term(s) Offered: Full Year

Prerequisite(s): Open to Grades: 9, 10, 11

Completion of Algebra 1 with a 90% or higher or teacher

recommendation

Completion of Honors Geometry with an 80% or higher.

Completion of Geometry with a 90% or higher or teacher

recommendation.

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.
