Students in this course will acquire the algebraic skills necessary for success in future math courses. Topics covered include: solving and graphing (one and two variable) linear equations and inequalities, problem solving, factoring, solving systems of linear equations, simplifying rational expressions, simplifying radicals, fractional exponents, imaginary numbers, and an introduction to linear and quadratic functions. This course provides the foundation for further mathematical understanding and success.

This course follows Algebra 1 (A) and continues to build problem solving skills and higher order thinking. This course completes the Algebra I curriculum. Topics include more linear equation solving and graphing, writing equations of lines, functions, rational expressions, systems of equations, factoring, and quadratics. *Though SPX only requires students earn three math credits, those enrolled in Algebra I (A) and I (B) will take four in order to meet our requirement of taking Algebra II.

This course will include an intense study of: polygons, congruency and classifications of triangles, deductive proofs, circles and their angles, right triangles, areas and volumes of plane and solid figures, ratio and proportions of similar triangles, and coordinate geometry. In addition, students will develop visual skills, expand their mathematical vocabulary and review algebra skills necessary for success in Honors Algebra II.
