Algebra II provides a curriculum that builds on the algebraic concepts covered
in Algebra I. Through a "Discovery-Confirmation-Practice" based exploration
of intermediate algebra concepts students are challenged to !or" to!ard a
mastery of computational s"ills to deepen their conceptual understanding of
"ey ideas and solution strategies and to extend their "no!ledge in a variety of
problem-solving applications. Course topics include conic sections# functions
relations and their graphs# $uadratic functions# inverse functions# and
advanced polynomial functions. %tudents also cover topics relating to rational
radical exponential and logarithmic functions# se$uences and series# and data
analysis and probability.
&ithin each Algebra II lesson students are supplied !ith a scaffolded note-
ta"ing guide called a "%tudy %heet" as !ell as a post-study "Chec"up"
activity providing them the opportunity to hone their computational s"ills by
!or"ing through a lo!-sta"es '(-$uestion problem set before moving on to a
formal assessment. )nit-level Algebra II assessments include a computer-
scored test and a scaffolded teacher-scored test.
The content is based on the *ational Council of Teachers of +athematics
,*CT+- standards and is aligned to state standards.
