Prerequisites: Algebra F1
Algebra S2 is a year- long course designed to take Algebra students through the curriculum after completing the Algebra F1 program. Topics are the same as second semester Algebra 1 with the addition of several topics that will enhance the students’ preparation for Geometry and for state testing. Algebra I is a rigorous preparation for advanced mathematics, stressing both structure and development of problem solving skills. It is designed for the student who plans to continue his/her education beyond high school. Students sequentially develop mastery of the real number system and the language and symbolism of algebra. Equations, inequalities, polynomials, functions, and graphing with special emphasis on problem-solving techniques, use of clear examples, abundant exercises, and consistent review make Algebra I both practical and vital for students.
Technology: Scientific calculators are required for this course.
