10th Grade Mathematics: Introduction to Algebra 2 (Fall)
In the Fall semester, students transition into advanced mathematical territory with an Introduction to Algebra 2. This course builds on the foundations of Algebra 1, moving beyond linear equations to explore more complex function families. Students investigate the behavior of polynomials, radicals, and rational functions, learning to model non-linear relationships. This semester is designed to build the "math muscle" and abstract reasoning skills necessary for higher-level STEM coursework and college-level placement.
