Algebra 2

Algebra 2 builds on the foundation established through the study of Algebra 1. Every detail leads to the truth that there is order in the universe discovered and expressed through the practice of mathematics. This order points to the design of an orderly God. Students explore the idea that this God-ordained order allows us to use numerical expressions, even those with unknowns, and apply them to real-life circumstances. Throughout the course, mathematical concepts are applied to everyday occurrences, such as earthquakes, stadium seating, and purchasing movie tickets. Students learn how to graph linear equations and inequalities, compare functions, solve radical equations, solve and graph quadratic and polynomial equations, simplify rational expressions and complex fractions, solve and graph systems of equations and exponential and logarithmic functions, calculate probabilities, and so much more. Algebra 2 is an advanced course using hands-on activities, applications, group interactions, and the latest technology.
