  Algebra 2 (A)

  Algebra 2 builds upon and extends concepts from both Algebra 1 and Geometry. In Algebra 2, students work with equations, inequalities, and graphs of linear, quadratic, trigonometric, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Real-world applications that can be modeled by each of these functions are explored. Algebra 2 also introduces students to concepts of probability and statistics.
