- Polynomial Functions
- Trigonometric Functions
- The Unit Circle and Angle Measures
- Combinatorics
These 17 units incorporate all the topics of Algebra 2.
While this course was designed to cater to high school Algebra 2 students, adult education learners who are studying for High School Equivalency exams can also benefit from the information provided in this course.
Similarly, teachers who would like supplemental material for their Algebra 2 classroom should take this course. If you are a teacher, feel free to download and use these PDFs in your own classrooms.
Who this course is for:
- Students should take this course if they have already taken Algebra 1 and/or Geometry
- Algebra 2 teachers who would like supplemental material should take this course
- Adult Education students who are studying for the HSE/GED/HiSET/TASC should take this course
