Provide students with a college-prep Algebra II course that will allow them to easily progress onto even more difficult mathematical challenges. Saxon Algebra 2, 3rd Edition prepares students for calculus through explicit embedded geometry instruction. Trigonometry concepts, statistics, and applications for other subjects such as physics and chemistry are also included.
Incremental lessons include a "Warm Up" activity; "New Concepts" section that introduces new concepts through examples with sidebar hints and notes; and "Lesson Practice" questions with lesson reference numbers underneath the question number. Real-world applications and continual practice & review provide the time needed to master each concept, helping students to build confidence in their mathematical abilities.
This course counts as 1 credit on a high school transcript.
**If this course is completed after completing Saxon Algebra 1 and then followed with Saxon Advanced Math (Pre-Cal) - a student will receive 4 total math credits and not need to take Geometry as a stand alone course.
