Algebra 2 (430-H, 431 –A) (CCP pp. 15 & 48)
1 Credit
Grades 9-11
Prerequisite: Academic Level: Algebra IA and Geometry A. Honors: Minimum of 250 RIT on MAP and/or Teacher recommendation or successful completion of Geometry H.


Again CCSS-aligned and based on the CSDE Algebra 2 Model Curriculum, this course provides students further opportunities to develop algebra concepts as well as reasoning, communication, representation and problem solving skills. Building on concepts, skills, and strategies from Algebra I about linear and quadratic relationships, Algebra 2 extends student understanding into more complex topics. At the academic level, a deeper understanding of linear inequalities and quadratics will be explored, as well as the introduction of function compositions and inverses, radical functions and equations, factoring, and solving and graphing higher order polynomials. The Honors level will also include the above topics and extend into unit-circle trigonometry and graphing trigonometric functions, and writing, solving and graphing rational, exponential and logarithmic equations and functions. Finally, one-variable statistics topics, including sampling methods and bias, experimental design, and normal distributions will be emphasized. Students taking honors will be required to complete a summer assignment.
