How do I know if I should take Algebra II or Algebra II-4? • It depends! Please meet with your Geometry teacher. He/she will be able to recommend which course you should take. Please take his/her advice!! • Algebra 2 is a fast paced course for students that have a solid foundation from Algebra I and Geometry. Plan to have homework daily and to come in and get additional help regularly. • Algebra 2-4 is a slower paced course for students that have taken Algebra 1 and Geometry and done alright, but need more time with concepts and like a slower paced course.
