Algebra 2

Grade 10
Written By Peter Friedman

Algebra 2 Online High School Course

COURSE LENGTH:

Full Year (30 Sessions)

COURSE OVERVIEW:

This is a regular level Algebra 2 course with a total of 10 modules. The 10 modules will be covered in 30 synchronous sessions. Some modules will be completed after one synchronous session, while others will be covered over multiple synchronous sessions. Students will be assessed on their ability to complete calculations, as well as their ability to explain the concepts that they have learned. Assignments will be given after every synchronous session, while assessments will be given, in general, after every two to three synchronous sessions. The course will move at a pace that will allow students who have successfully completed Algebra 1 to extend their algebraic knowledge and skills by gaining a strong understanding of the concepts and topics covered during the Algebra 2 course.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

In addition to learning the mathematical concepts covered in this course, students will learn the importance of learning to think critically, persevere through difficult problems and concepts, justify their calculations and process, and understand the unique language of mathematics. After the completion of the course, students will have learned and have a strong understanding of the following topics:

  • Linear Functions and Systems

  • Quadratic Functions and Equations

  • Polynomial Functions

  • Rational Functions

  • Rational Exponents, and Radical Functions

  • Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  • Conic Sections

  • Matrices

  • Data Analysis and Statistics

  • Probability

ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS:

  • This course will teach the mathematical skills needed to succeed in future classes

  • Concepts learned will help students to understand that mathematics can be used to model the world around us

  • Critical thinking and logical thinking will be emphasized throughout the class

  • The class will go beyond learning how to complete mathematical calculations; students will learn the importance of analyzing and dissecting problems

  • The class will help the students with their overall growth so that they will become productive and successful 21st century citizens
