The ALEKS went so well!! I placed exactly into the college math class I needed, skipping algebra 1-3 and into statistics!! Without this course through mathhelp.com I would have had to take 4 math classes before this class I needed for my bachelor’s degree! I loved the details in the instructions and mini practice quizes and the different types of problems. In high school I remember the teacher showing only one example then the test would have a different type of problem and I didn't know how to do that type of problem such as reciprocals and negative on the bottom instead of the top and so much more! The explanations of why the problem is wrong on your tests helped tremendously as well. Your course was amazing.
The College Algebra course format is ideal for me with videos, extensive practice with more challenging bonus content, plus quizzes and comprehensive exams all with immediate feedback and ability to get worked examples. This was the most helpful online math experience I’ve had so far. The site is very easy to navigate and really organized optimally with reference content easy to access when advancing to each new level.
I took my TSIA2 exam today and I scored a 966 on the math portion! I’m very grateful to the course on math help. It really helped refresh my brain on all the math concepts I had learned in high school. I really enjoyed the word problems, especially the help on translating English to algebra. I learned so much and the repetition of it all really helped everything stick! Thank you for all the math help!
This course was amazing!! I recently went back to school and had to take the Accuplacer test for math. I have not been in a math class for over 14 years. This course helped me pass and get placed in college level algebra. Definitely recommend this course.

What makes MathHelp different from other Algebra 2 websites?

Algebra 2 from MathHelp is different in the following ways.

  1. Depth of Instruction. Developed by a teacher from one of the top private schools in the country, the goal from the beginning was to create a world-class Algebra 2 curriculum “in a bottle.” Every example problem and every practice problem includes a complete video or audio explanation, creating the feel of having a personal math teacher guiding you through the course. If you’re a parent who doesn’t have the time, energy, or expertise to provide the Algebra 2 homework help your child needs, you can delegate the task to our expert instructors. Our focus on in-depth instruction is also ideal for homeschool parents looking to offer their child the equivalent of a $30,000-a-year private school math education for a tiny fraction of the cost.
  2. Richness of Features. Our program is packed with everything you need in a stand-alone Algebra 2 course. In addition to the one-on-one instruction, the course features a comprehensive grade report that automatically records student scores; background lessons to build the student’s foundation in math; diagnostic quizzes before each lesson; cumulative review; and printable extra problems, notes, and chapter tests.

What is the difference between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2?

Algebra 1 has a strong focus on equations, inequalities, graphing lines, factoring, and radicals. Algebra 2 reviews all the topics in Algebra 1, but it takes each concept to a deeper level. It also introduces new topics that aren’t covered in Algebra 1, such as imaginary numbers, polynomial division, and logarithms.

What grade do you learn Algebra 2?

Students normally learn Algebra 2 in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. The grade level for the course depends on whether the student takes Geometry first. It also depends on the student’s ability in math. Generally speaking, Algebra 2 is a 10th or 11th grade course because students usually take Geometry first.

Is Algebra 2 or Geometry harder?

Whether Algebra 2 or Geometry is the harder class depends entirely on the student. For example, Geometry and its shapes might be easier for you than Algebra 2 and its equations. On other hand, you might find that working with figures is harder than working with variables, making Geometry the more difficult class.

Are Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus the same thing?

Algebra 2 is the course that comes before Pre-Calculus, so the two courses are not the same thing. Pre-Calculus is a more advanced course that focuses on Trigonometry.

Can I learn Algebra 2 in a month?

Algebra 2 is not a course that you can learn in a month. It usually takes 9 months to go through the course, although the range is anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on your math background and abilities. No matter how long it takes, you’ll need plenty of help along the way, so it’s important to give yourself ample time to go through the course.

How do I pass Algebra 2?

If you’re wondering how to pass Algebra 2, there’s no substitute for individualized instruction. Fortunately, there are now a variety of ways to get one-on-one tutoring.

  1. Hire a private tutor if you can afford it.
  2. Schedule an online “live” tutor (i.e. Skype and virtual whiteboard), which is cheaper than a private tutor but still costly.
  3. Sign up for “Asynchronous” tutoring (i.e. pre-recorded video and audio instruction), which is both inexpensive and effective. Make sure your lessons include plenty of practice as well.

How do I find a good math tutor?

Let’s say you’re looking for a good Algebra 2 tutor. The best way to start is with an online search. The math tutor you find might not be a traditional one, but that could be a good thing. For example, if you find online tutoring that has been pre-recorded and embedded in an online course, it could save you lots of time and expense.

What is Algebra 2?

You can think of Algebra 2 as an extension of all of the Algebra you’ve learned so far. In other words, familiar concepts are taken to the next level, and new concepts build on your Algebra foundation.

What do I need to know for Algebra 2?

The first semester of Algebra 2 is essentially Algebra 1 with more difficult problems, so the most important thing to know is Algebra 1. The second semester introduces new concepts such as imaginary numbers and logarithms, so any exposure to these topics before taking Algebra 2 can also be helpful.

Is Algebra 2 the same as College Algebra?

College Algebra is slightly more advanced than Algebra 2, but they are more or less the same course. In fact, if you took a rigorous Algebra 2 course in high school, all of the topics in College Algebra might be review for you.

Can you take Algebra 2 online?

The best way to learn Algebra 2 online is with a program that offers video and audio instruction. You’re going to need lots of help in order to take the course online, and written explanations of problems aren’t enough, so make sure your online course goes far beyond a “pdf” version of a textbook.

Why should I take Algebra 2?

All students should take Algebra 2 because it prepares them for College Algebra, which is a required course for most college degrees. Students who have taken Algebra 2 are much less likely to struggle with College Algebra, and they might even be able to place out of the course.

My son graduated and our homeschool program is completed! We loved the mathhelp.com programs - very well put together and so helpful for my son. Thank you!Cathy Huffenus - September 2024

The Algebra 2 was a great course!Katie Clifton - August 2024

We are very happy with Math Help! With my 3 sons through the years, I have subscribed to PreAlgebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and College Algebra. My 3 sons have differing math abilities, but all did well with your expert teaching. Thanks for all of your hard work! We appreciate you so much!Julie Grosz - May 2024

We loved using mathhelp.com for Algebra 2. It was great!Cindy Jeffery - February 2024

I thought the Algebra 2 course was really good at explaining the material.Carter Edelin - June 2023

This program was a life-saver for us! I was dreading my daughter learning Algebra 2 in our homeschooling journey as Math has been such a struggle for us, but this was a total game-changer! We have used other well-known programs in the past, but with your program she truly learned the concepts and was more confident than she has ever been in Math. She even figured out concepts she had struggled with and gave up on previously in Algebra 1. Her assessment scores this year were the highest they’ve ever been. I just can’t recommend this program or say enough! Thank you so much!!Maresa Frame - May 2023

I subscribed to the course for my teenage daughter who was really struggling with algebra in high school. After failing algebra 2 in school she used your course for remedial work. She found it very helpful and was able to pass the second time around. I would say that hearing the material taught by someone other than her school teacher and having all the extra exercises available to do were the most helpful for her. I can’t think of anything you could do to make it better.Jay Warrick - December 2022

This Algebra 2 program is amazing! :)Michelle Franklin - October 2022

I liked everything about the Algebra 2 course, especially the clear, non-chalkboard graphics. Instructors are pleasant and easily understood. Book learning is NOT for everybody, and the ability to just go over problems over and over until the light bulb goes ON is fantastic. This program is a blast--never thought I'd say that about mathematics.Mark St. Gaudens - April 2022

We loved the Algebra 2 program. We recommend it to everyone we talk to. Thanks so much.Trish Rojas - November 2021

We have been using MathHelp for several years now. It is a great program! The videos have great explanations and teaching. It is challenging and provides flexibility for homeschool use. My daughter used it for all her high school programs and had no issue passing her math evals for university. We will continue to use this program for my son's homeschool math program! I highly recommend it!Anne Thompson - October 2021

Your Algebra 2 program was very helpful. My daughter was able to complete all her needed math coursework.Alicia Freeman - June 2021

We are using the Algebra 2 program to supplement my daughter's online learning. I find the instruction and problems superior to what she has available to her from her school. What I really like: there are links to foundational lessons relating to the current lesson.Rachel Stevens - September 2020

Very, very helpful. Much better than distance learning through our school.Stephen Brunetti - July 2020

The Algebra 2 program has been extremely helpful and well-liked by my daughter. Thanks!Johanna Stinnett - July 2020

This program was very helpful! We couldn't have made it through Algebra 2 without you! Thanks!Joshua Barber - June 2020

My daughter said she really enjoyed this algebra 2 course. She had tried algebra on other online math courses from other companies but they were either too long of lessons or they were not explained well. I believe we tried three other courses from other companies before trying this one. Thanks for the efficient and well taught lessons. It allowed my daughter to complete all of her high school math courses so that she could concentrate on her ballet studies.  Jennifer Fox - May 2020

My son only has the final exam left to go in Algebra 2. He is thrilled to be almost finished, and he has learned so much this year. The video format of having a teacher to show him how to work problems has been so helpful for him, with extremely clear explanations. Thank you for a great math program. It is broken into small, manageable chunks that make it achievable. The organization of topics and progression of the course is in such a nice, logical order. I thought this was a great course and well worth my investment in it. I also appreciated your quick responses to questions that I submitted. Thank you for all the time and effort that went into creating this course. God bless!Brenda Swailes - May 2020

What is Algebra 2?

Algebra II, advanced Algebra or intermediate algebra has a prerequisite of Algebra I. Historically, intermediate algebra has been a high school level course. In the United States, Algebra II is usually taken in a student’s 3rd year of high school. Intermediate Algebra is also offered in community colleges as a basic skills or remedial course.

The content of an Algebra 2 course usually includes equations and inequalities in one variable; graphs and functions; systems of equations; exponents, polynomials, and factoring; quadratic equations and functions; radical equations and functions; rational equations and functions; and exponential and logarithmic functions.
