| Algebra 2 | PreCalculus |
| A course designed by the State of Texas to build on K - 8, Algebra I and Geometry foundations as they expand their understanding through other mathematical experiences. Students study algebraic concepts and the relationships among them to better understand the structure of algebra. Students perceive functions and equations as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of relationships and as a useful tool for expressing generalizations. Students perceive the connections between algebra and geometry and use the tools of one to help solve problems in the other. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, pictorial, numerical, symbolic, graphical, and verbal), tools, and technology (including, but not limited to, calculators with graphing capabilities, data collection devices, and computers) to model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems. As they do mathematics, students continually use problem-solving, language and communication, and reasoning (justification and proof) to make connections within and outside mathematics. Students also use multiple representations, technology, applications and modeling, and numerical fluency in problem-solving contexts. | A course designed by the State of Texas to build on K-8, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry foundations as students expand their understanding through other mathematical experiences.

Students use functions, equations, and limits as useful tools for expressing generalizations and as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of mathematical relationships. Students also use functions as well as symbolic reasoning to represent and connect ideas in geometry, probability, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus and to model physical situations. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools, and technology to model functions and equations and solve real-life problems.
