High School Mathematics 2
Content Areas
- Functions: Building upon Math 1, the curriculum heavily emphasizes functions and their applications. This includes exploring linear, quadratic, and exponential functions in greater depth, focusing on their properties, graphs, and transformations.
- Algebra: Students further their understanding of algebraic concepts, working with higher-order polynomials, including factoring and graphing. Additionally, they explore logarithmic and exponential functions, laying the groundwork for future math courses.
- Geometry: Expanding on basic geometry, Math 2 focuses on proofs and constructions. Students learn to construct geometric shapes using tools like compass and straightedge and understand and apply various methods for proving geometric theorems.
- Probability and Statistics: Building upon introductory probability and statistics from middle school, this course dives deeper into concepts like probability distributions, random variables, and statistical analysis. Students learn to analyze data, calculate measures of central tendency and variability, and explore concepts like conditional probability and independence.
