Algebra 2

This course builds on the concepts and skills students mastered in Algebra 1 and Geometry. Topics covered include linear functions, systems of equations, advanced polynomials, imaginary and complex numbers, quadratics, and trigonometric functions. It also introduces matrices and their properties, probability, and statistics. Students will apply their understanding to practical situations and learn problem-solving techniques.

To successfully complete this course, students will need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection and a working webcam and microphone.

In addition, this course may require purchase of texts or other course materials.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.

During the course orientation period, CLI asks students to complete a survey on their availability for live class meetings. Teachers set individual class meeting times based on student responses.
