<p>i am school crazy too lol!</p>
<p>yeah, you're pretty stupid. :)</p>
<p>If I skipped Alg 2, it would kill me. My algebra 2 teacher was the ONLY good teacher I had for math in high school. My geometry, pre-calc,stats, and calc teachers= garbage..waste of time. If it weren't for her class, I would hate math now. She actually made me good enough at math to cushion how crappy the upcoming teachers would be. She retired though....and she was gonna teach our pre-calc class too...boo hoo...at least we got her in her last of 36 years..</p>
<p>But it may be different for you. Algebra 2 is like 20-25% algebra 1 and 20-25% pre-calc preview in my opinion. The only thing I found somewhat challenging in the beginning were the conic sections..but you can get the hang of them</p>
<p>ummm...rude.</p>
<p>wait...you referring to me as rude or someone else there Mr. McCoy? (meaning GreenDayFan)</p>
<p>ummm... internet humor. :P</p>
<p>Alg II is pointless; anything you learn that is a base for statistics will only show up on the SAT II and in an AP Statistics class. However, you still must learn the stuff on functions and trigonometry as well as conics and matrices to do well later. (Matrices will not show up again until your freshman year in college, when you will take linear algebra.) And you can't diss GreenDayFan; I only took Precalc in grade 10 and Trig in 11. We spread Calculus over two years as well. Give her time, she is only a freshman, which is quite good assuming you had geometry in grade 8.</p>
<p>actually im a boy. lol.</p>
<p>you guys have geometry in Grade 8????? we had algebra one as the highest in grade 8 and the traditional course is alg 1-9th, geometry- 10th, alg 2-11th, then life math or fundamental college math-12th if you even want a 12th grade math. Although I went geo-9th, alg 2-10th, pre-calc-2nd part of 10th, stats- 11th, calc-second part of 11th and NONE for NEXT YEAR WOOT!!</p>
<p>As a homeschooler, I self-taught myself Algebra II many years ago.</p>
<p>I suggest a homeschooling book, Saxon Algebra II. As it is written for students who teach themselves, it explains new material relatively well. There are also video tapes on the lessons in the book, but out by Teaching Tape Technology. Order the tapes, copy them, and send them back, all at no cost for you (this is the cheating way, though!).</p>
