“TabletClass has really been a great addition to our home school. As a Mom that is “math challenged” this program really takes the pressure off of me to be able to teach my daughter algebra.”
TabletClass Math makes homeschooling Algebra 2 easy. We include the right amount of instruction your child needs to excel.
Our teacher, John Zimmerman, cares about your child’s success. He guides students every step of the curriculum with clear and understandable instruction that will help build their confidence in math.
Homeschool Algebra 2 Curriculum Summary
The homeschool Algebra 2 curriculum is designed as a high school second or third year college prep math curriculum. A strong foundation in concepts and skills of Algebra 1 is required.
The first part of the Algebra 2 curriculum is an extensive series of sections on basic algebra topics that students should have mastered in Algebra 1. Part 2 of the curriculum focuses on quadratic equations/complex numbers, linear systems and matrices/determinants.
The next part of the Algebra 2 course covers functions and relations and powers and radicals at a more advanced level.
The course finishes by introducing many advanced level topics to include exponential/logarithmic functions and solving polynomials of n-degree. Lastly, a chapter on rational functions is explored to include a section on graphing rational functions.
“As a Homeschooling mom I have the pleasure of choosing curriculum that fits my child’s learning style. When Saxon math wasn’t “clicking” for my daughter I saw TabletClass.com posted on our homeschool loop and gave it a try. It was a perfect fit, my daughter has flourished using TabletClass.com! After one week using TabletClass.com she said “oh mom this is great I LOVE it!!” Her comprehension in Algebra 2 has been excellent. Having access to our on line teacher Mr. Zimmerman is a big plus, you never get “stuck” because he is willing to help guide the student through any “hiccups” in the learning process. Now that she is in High School I am using the college SAT as her testing and I can’t wait to see how much her score goes up in math! We are so glad we added TabletClass.com to our curriculum!”

“Our family has been using TabletClass for three years and plan on finishing up our homeschool math using this program. Our son completed Pre-Algebra through Algebra 2. Now our daughters are starting it. The concepts are taught in easy to understand bits. TabletClass is suited to students with a wide range of math abilities. The format is simple, clear and understandable. TabletClass tutorials make using the program comprehensible for even the most non computer savvy student or mom. Mr. Zimmerman uses an engaging style of teaching, making math less intimidating to non-math students, while gifted students are not bored. The students can set their own pace. The classes are available on a wide range of platforms. The program is very economical for any size family.”
