Algebra 2
Oak Meadow’s Algebra 2 course builds on foundational algebraic concepts, helping students develop the skills needed for success in Precalculus and beyond. Using Algebra 2 by Elayn Martin-Gay (Pearson, 2016) alongside MyMathLab, students engage with interactive tools and real-world applications that make advanced math both accessible and meaningful.
This course covers intermediate algebra topics while encouraging students to explore the connections between mathematics and everyday life. Students will engage in problem-solving, analyze mathematical ideas from historical and cultural perspectives, and apply concepts creatively. Extension topics provide opportunities to dive deeper into statistics and introductory precalculus, including trigonometric functions, identities, and equations.
Topics covered include:
- Real numbers, algebraic expressions, and problem-solving
- Systems of equations and inequalities in two and three variables
- Matrices, exponents, rational expressions, and equations
- Radicals, complex numbers, and conic sections
- Functions and their graphs (quadratic, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and polynomial)
- Sequences, series, the Binomial Theorem, counting methods, and probability theory
- Introductory precalculus concepts, including trigonometric functions and identities
After purchasing MyLab Math (will be available April 1st) students will have access to:
- Video tutorials that provide step-by-step instruction aligned with the textbook
- Interactive practice exercises with instant feedback for skill mastery
- Guided examples and worked solutions to build problem-solving confidence
- Personalized study plans to track progress and focus on areas needing extra support
- Real-world applications that help students connect algebra to everyday situations
- Progress assessments to measure understanding and skill development
With Oak Meadow’s Algebra 2 course, students deepen their mathematical understanding while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve them in higher-level math and beyond.
