[quote=Anonymous]Personally I think it’s weird how many schools combine Algebra 2 and trig now because it’s a lot of content for one year if it’s a thorough course. Algebra 2 requires really strong algorithmic thinking when dealing with polynomials, and I think everyone who is saying that it’s exposing weakness from Algebra 1 is probably right. But it may also be a basic math facts issue- if she’s doing ok on homework and classwork but is struggling under time pressure, it might be that in addition to knowing her algorithms she is moving too slowly on factoring or losing track of numbers. That’s a huge part of algebra 2 especially when stuff is floating around in multiple parenthesis and parts of the equation and one small error can blow a problem up. Now if this is related to exponentials or logarithms, that’s probably a case for a 1:1 tutor who can explain the concepts differently than what she’s getting from her teacher. Same for the trig part of things. [/quote]
