Algebra II Honors

Continuing with the Saxon methodology of spiral learning, Algebra 2 covers more advanced topics typically discussed in second-year algebra as well as some geometry. Math concepts will include the following: imaginary and complex roots of quadratic equations; solutions of simultaneous linear and non-linear equations and inequalities; conic sections; logarithms and antilogarithms; exponential equations; basic trigonometric functions; advanced factoring techniques; proofs of congruence; deductive reasoning; properties of parallel and perpendicular lines; properties of triangles; chords, arcs, and inscribed angles in circles; basic geometric constructions; Venn diagrams; vectors; polar and rectangular coordinate systems; set theory; advanced algebraic word problems; and mathematical aspects related to concepts in physics and chemistry. Students completing Saxon Algebra 2 will also complete one semester of informal geometry. This class is a high school honors-credited course. Expect to spend from 1 ½ – 3 hours daily on work outside of the class, depending on the student’s abilities. NOTE: The geometry requirement can also be satisfied by completing a three-course series of Saxon books including Algebra I, Algebra II, and Advanced Math Part A. All of the standard concepts normally found in an individual Geometry course are found within these three courses. 


Parental Involvement: Parents should verify that their students are completing their math assignments daily and grading the work. Test taking: 

1) MUST be completed at home. 

2) MUST be proctored by a parent or caregiver. 

3) MUST be signed by parent or caregiver to ensure that supervision occurred. 

4) The use of calculators will be permitted. 

5) NO access to the internet or any other technological device is allowed. 


*Math Lab Tutoring will be available Thursdays from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM in the RCJ Math Lab. 

*All CEDAR policies apply. Cost: $20.00 per student per Thursday. One-on-one tutoring is also available with Mr. Jared Parker by request.

Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. (Must have a “B” or better in Algebra 1)

Diagnostic Test must be taken, while being proctored by a parent, and submitted with the parent's signature before placement in the course will be confirmed for 1st time students.



Tests may be handed in at the front desk or emailed to Mrs. Parker at parkerbunch7@bellsouth.net.
