Welcome to the Algebra II course page. Below you will find the course outline and the section texts that will be used throughout the course. Algebra II is designed as a two-semester rigorous course in Intermediate to Advanced Algebra, and will prepare you for subsequent Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus courses.

This course will explore more advanced topics than those covered in Algebra I. It is recommended that one complete the Geometry course before taking the Algebra II course so that basic algebra concepts may be understood more concretely.
