Algebra II focuses on expanding the skills learned in Algebra I and provides further development of the concept of a function. Students will engage in function analysis and learn to represent information through graphs, equations, and input-output tables. Emphasis will be placed on problem-solving and defending solutions through verbal reasoning and group discussions. The course begins with a review of linear relationships and then explores a variety of topics including inequalities, quadratic functions, polynomial functions, and exponential functions. The class aims to provide a strong foundation for students to continue on to upper-level math courses.
