Algebra II (or Advanced Algebra) is intended to help students enrich their skills and develop more concepts beyond basic algebra as they prepare for higher level mathematics courses. This course is designed to help students apply the mathematics they learned in the classroom to real world situations, model mathematical situations, communicate mathematically, and use technology appropriately. Lessons that connect various areas of mathematics to algebra, geometry, statistics and trigonometry will be studied. Students will study real numbers, operations, and patterns as they extend their understanding of algebraic concepts. They will work with matrices, complex numbers, logarithms, polynomial functions and their inverses, systems of equations and inequalities, transformations, mathematical models, scatter plots, and statistics
