Publisher's Description of Math-U-See Algebra 2 Instruction Manual
The Algebra 2 Instruction Manual includes the resources instructors need to teach this level.
In this level, you and your student will confidently explore advanced factoring, conjugate numbers, the binomial theorem, and more to review and expand mastery of topics taught in Algebra 1. Achieve a solid grasp of graphing and solving equations visually and algebraically with Math-U-See Algebra 2.
The Math-U-See Algebra 2 Instruction Manual is ideal for instructors who have access to the instruction videos, and whose students have all the necessary student materials including the Student Workbook and Tests booklet.
A more rigorous course that builds on Algebra 1 and Geometry. Reviews and expands content from Algebra 1. The course also covers advanced factoring, imaginary and complex numbers, conjugate numbers, the binomial theorem, quadratic formula, motion problems, along with other application problems. Graphing includes extensive practice with conic sections, and solving systems of equations. Vectors are introduced. At the completion of Algebra 2, students should be able to move onto PreCalculus.
