Algebra 2 complements and expands the mathematical content and concepts of Algebra 1 and Geometry. New concepts and techniques are introduced that will be basic to more advanced courses in mathematics and the sciences and useful in the workplace. In general terms, the emphasis is on abstract thinking skills, the function concept, and the algebraic solution of problems in various content areas. Students who master Algebra 2 will gain experience with algebraic solutions of problems in various content areas including the solution of systems of quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, the binomial theorem and the complex number system.

The major purpose of geometry is to present patterns which are important to the development of thinking skills and problem-solving skills. The students will work with the body of geometry theorems, including geometry of two and three dimensions. Students engage in intellectual activities that include analyzing, classifying, planning, comparing, etc., and communicate their processes and results. They draw on mathematical and scientific ideas and use tools, such as calculators, compasses, protractors, and other assorted instructional materials. They use various techniques to solve problems and investigations. They work in small groups or independently, doing an investigation which includes a full range of mathematical concepts. Assessment is integrated with the curriculum and instruction. As a result, all students will exhibit high levels of achievement by completion of rigorous mathematics that provide barrier-free access to postsecondary education, or entry into a technology education, or entry into a technology rich workplace.
