Description
This course covers algebraic topics including advanced strategies for solving equations, graphing algebraic functions, polynomials, systems of equations, advanced topics with radicals and square roots, variation, and applications (word problems). The course curriculum aligns to content that is common to most high school algebra 2 courses as well as college level intermediate algebra. Content is taught through interactive video lectures that include guided practice problems and the associated live action solutions. The curriculum is organized into 7 chapters (topics), containing a total of 60 video lectures that are approximately 10 minutes in length each. The course culminates with end of chapter assessments to check for skills mastery. Answer Keys are included for all assessments. The instructor for this course is a certified math instructor with over 10 years of middle school, high school, and college level teaching experience.
