Course Sample for Our Algebra 2 Homeschool Math Course

Welcome to Algebra 2! The primary Textbook: source for this course is College Algebra, which you can download from SchoolhouseTeachers.com. Don’t let the title scare you. The text covers the topics typically taught in Algebra 2 in a way that is clear and easy to follow. Use the weekly lesson guide as you work through the material. There will be one or more sections to complete each week. You will need to read the text, review the examples, and then complete the “Try It” exercises after each example. At the end of each section, there are “Section Exercises” to practice what you have learned. Check your answers as you complete the exercises to make sure you understand the material. The answers to all of the “Try It” exercises and the odd-numbered “Section Exercises” are available in the Student Solution Manual. Please note that all page number references refer to the page number of the text itself and are not exactly the same as the page number of the PDF download.
