Algebra 2 B Self-Paced

Students expand their exposure to the world of Algebra by developing the building blocks needed to dive deeper into trigonometry, pre-calculus and advanced probability and statistics. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of Algebra 2.

Major topics include:

Sequences and Series

Probability and Statistics

Conic Sections

Trigonometric Functions

Trigonometric Identities

Students learn through online lesson activities, videos, and interactive activities. Each module includes lessons that conclude with a brief quiz as well as a module exam. The course contains a cumulative final exam.

About the Self-Paced Course Model

Self-Paced courses are designed for students who need flexibility in their academic schedule.Teachers answer questions and interact with students in Private Topics, provide feedback on work, and host weekly office hours. Students work independently on course activities; the course does not include class discussion assignments or other collaborative work.

This course has start dates on each Wednesday throughout the year. Students must maintain enrollment for a minimum of 4 weeks and have up to 16 weeks to complete all assignments in the course. It is expected that students will work for approximately 90 hours to complete this course, though the amount of time may vary depending on a student’s work habits and comfort with the material.
