Algebra II core Instruction for all students.
Carnegie Learning Algebra II promotes the understanding of both linear and non-linear functional forms, as well as the relationship between text, equations, graphs and tables through the mathematical modeling of realistic situations. Our program motivates students to talk about mathematical functions, tackle real-world problems, strengthen their conceptual foundations and understand Algebra's relevance in everyday life.

Features of Cognitive Tutor Software
The Cognitive Tutor is designed to complement the textbook curricula, but can be used as supplemental curricula for interventions, summer school, and other implementation options. Features include:
- Differentiated instruction: provides instruction that addresses each student's unique needs
- Mastery learning model and multi-step problems
- Continuous formative assessment
- Immediate feedback and positive reinforcement
- Detailed reports for analyzing student progress
- Review Mode for practice prior to exams
Recommended for 40% (or two class periods/week) of the total instructional time in a course, the software is most often accessed via a web delivery model using the Carnegie Learning Online website. It can be delivered via a standalone installation, network/LAN, or remote-hosted local client-server model.
Blended Curriculum
Our Algebra II content can be delivered in a blended course format, with a combination of collaborative, student-centered textbook lessons and adaptive Cognitive Tutor software lessons. Can be used as core instruction.
Textbooks
Carnegie Learning Algebra II content can be delivered via textbooks that support a collaborative classroom. Our classroom activities address both mathematical content and process standards. Students develop skills to work cooperatively to solve problems and improve their reasoning and communication skills.
Adaptive Math Software
Our Algebra II content is available in our Adaptive Math Software Solutions, which are packages that feature our research-based Cognitive Tutor Software product line. Available in both the Carnegie Learning Adaptive High School Solution and the Carnegie Learning Adaptive Secondary Math Solution.
