Algebra 2 | 9th & 10th Grade

Master advanced algebra to solve complex equations and real-world problems with confidence.

Algebra 2 is a continuation of the foundational algebraic concepts learned in Algebra 1. Approximately 1/3 of the lessons will be on reviewing and ensuring mastery of Algebra 1 and previously taught arithmetic and 2/3 of the class on new material. This course completes Algebra fundamentals, covering essential operations needed for advanced math. 

  • Number Sense and Foundations of Algebra

  • Probability and Statistics

  • Linear Functions

What You'll Learn​​

​​​​​​

Equip students with this Algebra 2 course that builds a solid foundation for tackling advanced math challenges. Saxon Algebra 2 prepares students for calculus by integrating geometry and includes key concepts in trigonometry, statistics, and applications relevant to subjects like physics and chemistry. Students will learn traditional second-year algebra concepts along with a full semester of informal geometry, emphasizing real-world, abstract, and interdisciplinary applications. Key areas include geometric functions (angles, perimeters, and proportional segments), negative exponents, quadratic equations, metric conversions, logarithms, and advanced factoring techniques.

​

​​By the end of the course, the student will be able to master the concepts in the following areas:

​

  • Number sense and foundations of algebra

  • Probability and statistics

  • Linear functions

  • Quadratic functions

  • Matrices

  • Trigonometry

  • Polynomials and polynomial functions

  • Exponential and logarithmic functions

  • Rational and radical functions

  • Conic sections

  • Linear systems

  • Sequences, series, and logic

Course Information ​

Course-Specific Required Texts and Materials:
Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course.

  • Saxon Algebra 2: An Incremental Development

  • Line paper

  • 3-ring binder

  • Scientific calculator (optional: TI-84 graphing calculator)

  • Pencil, pen

  • Internet access

​

General Technical Requirements: 

  • Laptop or Desktop

    • Please use a reliable laptop or desktop with a processor with a speed of 1 GHz or better on one of the following operating systems: Mac OS X with Mac OS 10.7 or later; Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista (with SP1 or later) or XP (with SP3 or later). An inexpensive laptop or netbook is preferred, as they enable you to plug an Ethernet cable directly into your computer. Students are only permitted to use phones for the Zoom sessions in cases of emergency. Note: It is significantly better to use an Ethernet cable to wire into a router rather than using WiFi, as WiFi signals can be notoriously unreliable based on device, distance to router, and interference from other electronics nearby

  • High-Speed Internet Connection

    • You will also need a reliable high-speed internet connection, ideally through an Ethernet cable directly connected to your computer. While Wi-Fi can work, it may not provide the best performance in terms of bandwidth. A faster internet connection will improve your experience, and we recommend a minimum download/upload speed of 5/1.5 Mbps. Depending on your location, you may also need to purchase a VPN to access Google Classroom, Google Suite, and Gmail.

  • Zoom

    • For our classes, we use Zoom, a web conferencing platform that allows students and instructors to connect face-to-face in real time, no matter where they are in the world. Zoom is free to download and simple to use. Click here to download Zoom.

  • See §VII in the VOA Parent-Student Handbook for more information about our technical requirements.​
