This course provides a good background for students preparing for pre-algebra. No credit is given if Algebra I is already completed. I provides a beginning study of problem-solving by algebraic methods. The real number system, manipulation of algebraic expressions, quadratic equations, the Cartesian coordinate system, systems of equations, and various word problems are studied. Geometry - Geometry includes the study of basic Euclidian geometry as well as similarities and their algebraic relationships.
Emphasis is given to deductive reasoning in proofs and an understanding of the basic concepts.
Constructions are used to help visualize the application of various concepts. Algebra II - Algebra II is an extension of Algebra I with the introduction of higher algebraic processes which include matrices, logarithmic functions, and sequences and series. Emphasis is given to the process of problem-solving using various methods. Students considering attending college or entering a technical or mechanical field should find Algebra II helpful. Students planning to take pre-calculus should consider taking this class.
