What are some good Algebra 2 courses?
By: Readinglover33 | 10-07-2008
I am looking for a good and clear Algebra 2 course. I have tried an online course with live teachers, but I need something with longer time limits, meaning something I can work on at my own pace. Something online is preferred, but if anyone knows of a book that explains Algebra 2 well, then that is just as fine. I do not like Saxon math, because it gets too complicated for a student to be reading on his own. Suggestions greatly appreciated!
