Algebra II Honors Academic Library (1st Semester)
This rigorous honors course focuses on the four critical areas for Algebra II: functions, polynomials, periodic phenomena, and collecting and analyzing data. The course begins with a review of linear and quadratic functions, to solidify a foundation for learning these new functions. 

Like all math courses at NFC Academy students are provided additional math instructional videos for their use as needed for more practice and instruction. Just like Edgenuity online homeschool courses, these videos are ready when the student is 24/7 on our website. 
alhese honor level courses from Edgenuity are not written from a biblical worldview and you may find some material that is different from that view we hold---from our web page on a biblical worldview “we look to the Bible for our beliefs and how we should operate. We believe students at this level can use wisdom in such courses, but if you are uncomfortable, please select from our Ignitia course offerings.
