Algebra 2 is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Sets and Cumulative Tests. Algebra 2 not only treats topics that are traditionally covered in second-year algebra, but also covers a considerable amount of geometry. Time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines.

Students completing Algebra 2 Will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry. Applications to other subjects such as physics and chemistry, as well as real-world problems, are covered, including gas laws, force vectors, chemical mixtures, and percent markups. Set theory, probability and statistics, and other topics are also included.

• Algebra 2 includes such topics as:
•  graphical solution of simultaneous
• equations scientific notation
• radicals
• roots of quadratic equations including complex roots
• properties of real numbers
• factoring
• inequalities and systems of inequalities
• logarithms and antilogarithms
• conic sections
• exponential equations
• basic trigonometric functions
• algebra of polynomials
• vectors in polar and rectangular form
• algebraic word problems
