Learn the skills of Algebra 2, including equations and inequalities, interval notations, functions, graphing, correlation and causation, and more. With the personal attention and Catholic worldview supporting your student, develop critical thinking skills and problem solving needed to complete the Algebra requirement with success.

How to get the most out of Algebra 2 (Glencoe), Part Two with Monica Breier:

• First, read the course materials below before the first class meeting.

• Then have a notebook ready and available for class notes each live session and video lesson.

• Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week.
  

• Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.

Special notes: This is Part Two of a two-part course. Students are welcomed to join us midyear if there are open seats and they have the prerequisite. Mrs. Breier provides daily recorded lectures for remaining weekly lessons in addition to the 14 live classes.

Course description: Part two begins boldly by introducing students to exponential and logarithmic functions! We develop ways for data modeling and statistical analysis. Part two also allows students to visualize these functions (including trigonometric functions) graphically in order to refine the student’s problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
