About

Welcome, everyone! Join our Algebra II Crash Course to solve problems confidently and come out feeling better with math than ever before. Plus,... no previous knowledge is required, though it certainly helps! Make sure to have a notebook, pencil, and calculator too!

In this course, we'll run through all Algebra II subtopics, which will get us from polynomials and factoring to trigonometry and radicals. We'll go through the methods/strategies that go hand-in-hand with certain problems and topics and use them in practice problems(some will also be from Khan Academy). By the end of the series, you will be able to solve any Algebra II problem on your own with practice and time.

The schedule runs with a session every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the most part. There will also be 2 reviews inside the whole series to check your progress and improve. I may also add additional office hours in case you guys need to stop by for help.

I'll also continue to edit and revise future sessions and may add one or two more depending on how the course goes. I hope to see you there :)

Hey, everyone! My name is Vince and I'm a junior. I really like math, languages/cultures, music, and football⚽️. I'm a South Korean native but I currently live in the US. I have spent a lot of time doing math and I began to help my friends with it after I realized they were going through the same roadblocks that I had gone through. My goal is to keep learning new things -- history, stories, songs, etc. -- and enjoy what I do. I'm looking forward to sharing lots of things will you all on schoolhouse.world and helping you guys along the way!
