Algebra II - Unlock Math

UnLock Math Curriculum

Algebra II is the direct successor to Algebra I and builds on each of the concepts studied within it.

Algebra II

Emphasis on functions returns as the functional families learned in Algebra I are studied in more detail. Algebra II expands on quadratic, polynomial, exponential, radical and rational functions and introduces logarithmic functions. Students learn how to use and operate on complex numbers so that complex solutions of quadratic and polynomial functions can be considered. This course focuses on more abstract and theoretical concepts, allowing students to improve their critical thought processes. The primary goal of this course is for students to own a strong understanding of all types of functions and prepare them for Pre-Calculus.
