Course Information

Course Description: 

Algebra 2A is the first trimester of the second-year algebra, college track course at Hazen High School.  It is also the minimum required math course for acceptance into Washington universities. 

We build upon the concepts studied in Algebra 1A and 1B.  Major topics include:

  • An Introduction to Functions
  • Quadratic Functions
  • Polynomial Functions

We hope to have enough time to complete our study of these topics so that we can end the trimester with a final project that will help you synthesize your understanding of the material.

Please note: the Algebra 2 team is very aware that students are coming in to the course with a wide variety of skills, abilities, attitudes, and experiences with respect to learning mathematics in general, and learning mathematics during COVID in particular.  We are here to support you and hope to help you make the transition back to learning mathematics "in person" as pleasant and enriching as possible.  Together, we can do it!

In addition to complex mathematical manipulations, Algebra 2A demands a higher sophistication of mathematical reasoning than might have been required in earlier mathematics courses.  Developing such reasoning throughout the trimester will not only help you be successful in this class, but also will be integral to your future success in mathematics, and the challenges of the “real world.”
