This 27-lesson course bridges the gap between other Algebra programs and Memoria Algebra II, covering topics often missing from other curricula. Lessons include compound inequalities, first-degree relations with three variables, polynomial and rational inequalities, complex radical equations, graphs of rational and radical functions, and operations with complex numbers. By completing this course after Pre-Algebra and Algebra I, students will have mastered all prerequisite material for Memoria Algebra II.
A distinctive feature of the Memoria Algebra series is Recitation—the memorization and oral recall of key definitions, properties, and general forms. This skill ensures students can “speak math” fluently and understand algebraic concepts deeply. All Recitation material from Memoria Pre-Algebra and Memoria Algebra I is included in this book, since most students coming from other programs have not practiced this discipline. Plan for algebra sessions five or six days per week. Begin with recitation, then introduce the lesson objective and important terms. Demonstrate examples step-by-step while students take notes. Work through the first exercise together, prompting students to guide the process, then allow them to complete remaining exercises independently. Always check and correct work the same day, having students identify and fix errors to reinforce mastery.
Follow the provided lesson plan pacing to complete the course in 9 weeks. Since this is a transition course, there are no formal assessments; completion of the lessons, accuracy in exercises, and mastery of recitation material are the measures of success.
