Chapter 1
Section outline
-

Chapter 1 gives you the language and foundational ideas you will use throughout Algebra 2/Trig. You’ll work with types of numbers, the Field Axioms, variables and expressions, polynomials, equations, and inequalities. Along the way, you’ll also become familiar with the rhythm of the course: Amplify activities, lesson videos, textbook work, and other practice.
What You’ll Learn
Numbers → expressions → polynomials → equations → inequalities
Your Pace
Plan for 15 focused work sessions, usually spread over three weeks.

Work at a Focused Pace
This schedule is a suggested pace, not a set of deadlines. Aim for no more than about one hour of math in a day. Stop when you can no longer concentrate well, even if the lesson is not finished. If a lesson takes more than one work session, simply continue during your next session.
