Algebra II

Algebra II is a continuation of the Saxon high school math sequence designed for students who have successfully completed Saxon Algebra I or an equivalent Algebra I course. While it is a high school level course, it is also open to highly motivated and mature middle school students. This is a graded course that can be added to college application transcripts - even if your student is in middle school. As such, students should expect to spend 3-5 hours outside of class time each week working on assignments for class. 

​

Topics covered in this course include:

• Uniform motion

• Simultaneous equations with 2 and 3 variables

• Non-linear equations

• Geometry

• Right-triangle trigonometry and trigonometric ratios

• Conversion from rectangular to polar coordinates

• Addition of vectors

• Quadratic formulas and roots of quadratic equations

• Graphing lines and parabolas.
