Algebra 2 typically covers the topics below.
Algebra 2 from MathHelp is different in the following ways.
Algebra 1 has a strong focus on equations, inequalities, graphing lines, factoring, and radicals. Algebra 2 reviews all the topics in Algebra 1, but it takes each concept to a deeper level. It also introduces new topics that aren’t covered in Algebra 1, such as imaginary numbers, polynomial division, and logarithms.
Students normally learn Algebra 2 in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. The grade level for the course depends on whether the student takes Geometry first. It also depends on the student’s ability in math. Generally speaking, Algebra 2 is a 10th or 11th grade course because students usually take Geometry first.
Whether Algebra 2 or Geometry is the harder class depends entirely on the student. For example, Geometry and its shapes might be easier for you than Algebra 2 and its equations. On other hand, you might find that working with figures is harder than working with variables, making Geometry the more difficult class.
Algebra 2 is the course that comes before Pre-Calculus, so the two courses are not the same thing. Pre-Calculus is a more advanced course that focuses on Trigonometry.
Algebra 2 is not a course that you can learn in a month. It usually takes 9 months to go through the course, although the range is anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on your math background and abilities. No matter how long it takes, you’ll need plenty of help along the way, so it’s important to give yourself ample time to go through the course.
If you’re wondering how to pass Algebra 2, there’s no substitute for individualized instruction. Fortunately, there are now a variety of ways to get one-on-one tutoring.
Let’s say you’re looking for a good Algebra 2 tutor. The best way to start is with an online search. The math tutor you find might not be a traditional one, but that could be a good thing. For example, if you find online tutoring that has been pre-recorded and embedded in an online course, it could save you lots of time and expense.
You can think of Algebra 2 as an extension of all of the Algebra you’ve learned so far. In other words, familiar concepts are taken to the next level, and new concepts build on your Algebra foundation.
The first semester of Algebra 2 is essentially Algebra 1 with more difficult problems, so the most important thing to know is Algebra 1. The second semester introduces new concepts such as imaginary numbers and logarithms, so any exposure to these topics before taking Algebra 2 can also be helpful.
College Algebra is slightly more advanced than Algebra 2, but they are more or less the same course. In fact, if you took a rigorous Algebra 2 course in high school, all of the topics in College Algebra might be review for you.
The best way to learn Algebra 2 online is with a program that offers video and audio instruction. You’re going to need lots of help in order to take the course online, and written explanations of problems aren’t enough, so make sure your online course goes far beyond a “pdf” version of a textbook.
All students should take Algebra 2 because it prepares them for College Algebra, which is a required course for most college degrees. Students who have taken Algebra 2 are much less likely to struggle with College Algebra, and they might even be able to place out of the course.
Thank you for providing such a great comprehensive Algebra 2 course.Elijah Hodges - October 2025
It was a good way to learn Algebra 2.Nic Ramirez - August 2025
We enjoyed this Algebra 2 program. It was easy to use, and as a parent, I found the record keeping extremely helpful and streamlined!Briana Downing - August 2025
Algebra II, advanced Algebra or intermediate algebra has a prerequisite of Algebra I. Historically, intermediate algebra has been a high school level course. In the United States, Algebra II is usually taken in a student’s 3rd year of high school. Intermediate Algebra is also offered in community colleges as a basic skills or remedial course.
The content of an Algebra 2 course usually includes equations and inequalities in one variable; graphs and functions; systems of equations; exponents, polynomials, and factoring; quadratic equations and functions; radical equations and functions; rational equations and functions; and exponential and logarithmic functions.
