Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Analyze quadratic functions in depth — identifying vertex, axis of symmetry, x- and y-intercepts, and increasing/decreasing intervals from both equations and graphs
Factor, simplify, multiply, and divide rational expressions with fluency, including identifying and canceling common factors
Determine vertical and horizontal asymptotes and locate holes in the graphs of rational functions
Solve systems of linear and quadratic equations using graphing, substitution, and algebraic methods
Evaluate and perform operations on functions — including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition
Calculate and interpret average rate of change across different function types
Identify and extend arithmetic sequences, and connect them to linear function behavior
Apply algebraic reasoning to model and solve real-world problems across multiple function types

Algebra 2 is full of concepts that will show up again — on standardized tests, in Pre-Calculus, in Calculus, and beyond. This course is built for students who are already taking Algebra 2 in school and want to do more than pass: they want to truly own the material. Each session targets the foundational skills that teachers have to rush past on the way to the next unit — quadratic functions, rational expressions, systems of equations, function operations, and more — and builds the kind of deep, flexible understanding that holds up under pressure. This isn't about keeping pace with your class. It's about pulling ahead of it.
Make the Basics Automatic When a student is still working hard on solving linear equations or factoring quadratics, there's little attention left for the new idea that builds on it. We revisit those foundations until they're automatic, so students' brainpower goes where it's needed most.
Lock In This Year's Learning Algebra 2 moves fast, and each unit leans on the last. We circle back to key concepts from earlier in the year, like function transformations or polynomial operations, so later units have something solid to build on.
Tackle What's in Front of You Whatever unit your class is in right now, from quadratics and polynomials to exponential and logarithmic functions, students get guided practice and clear strategies for the kinds of problems they're seeing in school this month.
Preview What's Next Wouldn't we all love a sneak peek at our next challenge before the clock starts ticking and the points start counting? We preview upcoming concepts, like logarithms or rational functions, so new topics feel familiar instead of intimidating.
