Our Math MS IV (Advanced Algebra I / Intro To Algebra II) course is the culmination of our Algebra I program and bridges into key Algebra II topics, offering students a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of algebraic and geometric concepts. Designed for advanced middle schoolers, this class challenges students with higher-level material and prepares them for future success in advanced mathematics.
Students will review and extend their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions, systems of equations, and factoring, while also exploring more complex topics such as rational and radical expressions, conic sections, and polynomial functions. This course emphasizes both conceptual understanding and practical application through real-world problems and multi-step exercises.
