Algebra II
Algebra 2 is a course in which students continue their study of functions including polynomial, exponential, rational and radical functions. They build and interpret functions that model a relationship between two quantities by analyzing key features of the graphs and equations. Students make sense of periodic behavior as they study trigonometric functions and build fluency with values of sine, cosine, and tangent at various angle measures. Equation solving strategies expand to include higher degree polynomials and quadratics over the complex number system and exponential equations using the properties of logarithms. Coursework includes probability, statistics, modeling and applications with extensive use of the graphing calculator. The course concludes with the NYS Algebra II Common Core Regents exam.
