In this Algebra 2 series, we’ll follow the Khan Academy syllabus and cover one topic per session — starting from the very basics and building up to more advanced concepts. Each session is designed to help you truly understand the “why” behind the math, not just memorize formulas.I’ll begin each session by clearly explaining the topic step-by-step, using visuals, examples, and real reasoning to make it all click. Then, we’ll solve problems together as a group so you can see how to apply what you’ve learned. After that, you'll get time to try a few questions on your own — so you can build confidence while still having support if you get stuck.We'll move from foundational ideas to deeper understanding, covering everything from functions and polynomials to logarithms and rational expressions. Each session will be active and engaging — I’ll be checking in, asking questions, and making sure everyone’s involved and following along.To help you review and remember what we cover, you’ll receive smart, downloadable notes after every session. You’ll also get some light homework so you can practice at your own pace and come back feeling even stronger. By the end of this series, you won’t just know Algebra 2 — you’ll understand it.😎😊

Hi! I’m a student who recently scored 98% in IGCSE Maths and is currently pursuing the IB program. I’ve always enjoyed helping others understand concepts in a simple and effective way, whether it's through tutoring classmates or sharing tips online. I'm joining Schoolhouse because I believe in making learning accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I’m excited to contribute to this amazing community, share what I’ve learned, and support other students in reaching their academic goals!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
To make the most out of this series and keep up with the pace, learners are expected to attend sessions regularly. You may miss up to 2 sessions in a row, but please message me in advance if you’re going to be absent.
If you miss more than 2 consecutive sessions without prior notice, you may be withdrawn from the series to open up space for other learners.
Remember, each session builds on the previous one—so showing up helps you (and the group) stay on track!
So please show up! I'll meet you on the other side....

Polynomial division
Polynomial division
Tue 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTCJul 8, 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTC
Now that you're comfortable adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials, it's time to tackle division! In this unit, you’ll learn how to divide polynomials by simple terms like x and gradually work up to dividing by more complex linear expressions. Along the way, you’ll discover how remainders appear—just like in regular number division—and how to handle them. We’ll also explore the Polynomial Remainder Theorem and see how division can help us factor polynomials more effectively. Get ready to level up your algebra skills with some sharper, more sophisticated techniques!

Polynomial graphs
Polynomial graphs
Wed 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTCJul 9, 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTC
In this unit, we’ll bring together everything we've learned about polynomials to understand how they behave graphically. You'll learn how to find the zeros (x-intercepts) of polynomial functions, determine whether the graph rises or falls as x approaches infinity or negative infinity (end behavior), and analyze intervals where the function is positive or negative. We’ll also explore how the multiplicity of a zero affects the shape of the graph. By the end, you’ll be able to read and sketch polynomial graphs with insight and confidence.

Rational exponents and radicals
Thu 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTCJul 10, 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM UTC
Ready to take exponents to the next level? In this unit, we’ll extend what you know about integer powers into the world of rational (fractional) exponents. You’ll learn what it really means to raise a number to powers like ½ or 2.5, and how these connect to roots and radicals. We’ll explore properties of exponents with rational values, practice rewriting and simplifying expressions, and solve exponential equations using these new tools. By the end, you’ll be able to handle expressions and equations involving rational exponents with confidence and flexibility.
