Course Title

Pre-AP Algebra II

Course Description

This course will enhance and expand the mathematical foundations of Algebra I and Geometry. The course will stress the fundamental extension of previous mathematics and the preparation for future higher-level mathematics courses. It will involve operations with real and complex numbers as well as matrices. The problem solving processes will use functions and relations. Within the course applications of math, and while satisfying predictions based on a set of data, the use of data analysis, and statistics will be justified. Students who master CareerTech Algebra II will gain experience with quadratic functions, conic sections, logarithmic and exponential functions, linear functions, solution methods for systems of linear functions, and matrix operations.
