Algebra II
Course #242 (CP) #243 (H)
Credit 1.0
College Prep:
In this course, content is organized around families of functions, including linear, absolute value, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, radical and rational functions. Lessons include real-life applications that help students see the relevance of what they are studying. Topics include: quadratic functions and factoring; polynomials and polynomial functions, radical expressions and rational exponents, exponential and logarithmic functions, and rational functions. Instruction, practice and assessments will be presented in a variety of formats, such as multiple-choice, short answer and open-ended. There will also be extensive use of technology including the graphing calculator throughout the year.
