Algebra 2 (Honors)
Completion of a summer assignment is required for this course. This course will provide a rigorous and comprehensive background for students of high mathematical ability. A minimum grade of B+ or higher in Algebra 1 can be a good predictor for success in this course. The curriculum includes the study of linear and nonlinear functions (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and rational). The course also extends the study of algebra from real numbers to the complex number system. Students must demonstrate their grasp of essential concepts through their interactions with each other. Challenge problems, projects, calculator labs and group work extend and expand text material and provide the opportunity for students to communicate mathematical understanding.
