Algebra 2 Connections: Course Materials

In each chapter’s teacher notes, a list of the necessary and optional materials for that chapter appears. This section contains compiled lists of all materials that do not come with the Teacher Guide, materials that will need to be purchased if they are not already available as existing classroom supplies.
