Algebra 2 - MT300A/B

Algebra 2 - MT300A/B

Prerequisites: Must have completed Geometry prior to taking this course.

Learning Recommendations: Passed both Geometry and Algebra 1. Students who did not pass Geometry must retake Geometry to graduate as required by the state of Washington.

Students who earned a C or below in Algebra 1 or Geometry, or who want additional support in math, are encouraged to take both Algebra 2 AND Algebra 2 Lab concurrently.

General Description: Algebra 2 builds on Algebra 1 and Geometry. This standard level course focuses on the second year of Algebra standards.  It is designed to prepare students for further algebra-based math and science classes, such as AP Statistics, Bridge to Pre-Calculus, and Physics.

Students taking this course who wish to continue to Pre-Calculus must take the Bridge to Pre-Calculus course prior to Pre-Calculus.

Students wishing to take Pre-Calculus directly after Algebra 2 must take the Advanced Algebra 2 course. See the ISD web site to learn more about options after students complete Geometry to determine if this course best supports your High School and Beyond Plan.

Content: Critical areas include, but are not limited to:

• Linear, Absolute Value, and Quadratic Functions
• Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Functions
• Exponential Functions and Models
• Data Inferences and Conclusions

Homework: Daily coursework not completed in class must be completed at home. The daily coursework can vary up to 35 minutes, depending on the student's math knowledge and class time usage. The intent of daily coursework is for practice and feedback, not necessarily for assessing skill. Students typically review the daily coursework in class the next day.
