Algebra II
&
Trigonometry
A one-year course covering Algebra II and Trigonometry
An Algebra II/Trigonometry course taught according to Charlotte Mason's principles using the Algebra II/Trig text by Paul Foerster. This approach includes the introduction of "captain ideas" from great thinkers or from history to pique the interest of the students and grab their attention. Through carefully graduated lessons, students are engaged and guided to wonder, explore, and consider concepts on their own.
​
This course constitutes one high school math credit.
