Honors Algebra II Course Syllabus
Providing further insight into advanced algebraic concepts, this two-semester course serves as an extension of Algebra 1. Honors Algebra 2 develops students’ abilities to manipulate and use matrices in various formats to determine data relationships and also delve into function types such as polynomial, logarithmic, quadratic, exponential, and rational and periodic. High school level students will have the skills needed for state standardized tests and national exit exams upon completion of the course.
