Foundations of Algebra 2 will emphasize facility with algebraic expressions and forms – especially linear, quadratic and polynomial forms, powers, and roots along with functions based on these concepts.  Students will study logarithmic, trigonometric, polynomial and special functions both for their practical applications and as tools for modeling real world situations.  Emphasis will be placed on use of technology and problem solving.  Graphing calculators and their appropriate practical uses are incorporated into the course.  This course would cover the same content as a regular Algebra 2 course with modifications to pace, presentation, and assessment methods and is seen as a senior level course for students that may have struggled in prior courses.  TI-84 calculators are required for this course.
