About Algebra II with Trig

Algebra II with Trig is the same thing as Pre-Calculus. This course is most often taken after Geometry as preparation for Calculus 1. This course is a college level Algebra II With Trigonometry course. It is the Trigonometry that makes this class Pre-Calculus. There is nothing added or planned within this course to make it particularly difficult. The "college level" aspect of this--and all our courses---is centered around the idea of high standards and expectations from the students. We do not water down material--as too many homeschool curriculums do---and we do not hand hold the student through each and every problem. On the dvds, we work examples, identify problem areas for students to pay attention to, and we highlight key homework problems. We expect students to be able to use this information, combined with the textbook and the Free Student Support (homework help) to figure out the problems which are not explicitly walked through on the DVD. The textbook does an excellent job of providing not just examples, but also "Matched Problem" which is essentially a sample problem presented just after an example so that students are allowed to practice example concepts before moving into homework.

• Algebra II with Trig DVD Set Videos of course content - Approximately 14 hours of video following the textbook. Includes the tests, the test grading guide, and the Syllabus. 
  • Disk 1 - Contains the Teachers Guide and the Solutions to Selected Problems. Both documents on this first disk are PDF files to be used on your computer. They can be printed as needed. The same files can be downloaded at the Algerbra II with Trig main page. The "Solutions to Selected Problems" provides solutions to the problems listed in bold on the syllabus. The bolded problems were individually selected as problems we felt were not clearly answered by the solutions given in the back of the textbook. If you feel you will need a more detailed Solutions Manual for this course beyond what is in the back of the book, consider the Student Solutions Manual (NOT included in this bundle).

In between courses? Some notes for you:

- Algebra 2 With Trig is THE SAME course as Pre-Calculus.

- While containing the title "Algebra 2" this course should be treated as its own course and NOT combined with Algebra 1.

Algebra 2 done but no Trig. What do we do?

If your student has already taken Algebra 2, but has not had Trig--this course bundle is still the one for you. We have added a guide to our syllabus that walks you through how to take this course as just a trigonometry course. Download the Teachers Guide that contains these instructions below.
