do i need any geometry skills to move onto algebra 2?

yes, or you'll be behind a little. i am a knowitall so trust me.

Truthfully?  Not so much.\nBut even if you don't like math and you're thinking of pursuing a college degree most schools have a math requirement.  And you're going to need all that sin and cosin garbage in order to get through college math courses.  And if you already have a college degree and you want to go to graduate school (and I'm talking even liberal arts stuff like history, english, comp. lit.) you're going to need it for your GREs.\n\nAll in all, trig isn't a lot of fun.  I sometimes use it in my daily life because I work in science, but you're really not going to find yourself integrating too many arctangents when buying a home or working at the office.  But, as I said, you might just need it.

don't take it personally. they're just joking around. it's all pretend. fun and games, y'know. algebra two is pretty tough. when are you gonna take algebra three?

If you're taking the course through a bricks-and-mortar college, see if the college has math tutors available.  \nIf you're taking the course online or your school does not have tutors, there are websites online with free worksheets to help you with troubling concepts. Try one of the following or search google for "algebra help":\n\nhttp://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/\nhttp://www.algebra.com/\nhttp://www.purplemath.com/\n\nIf it's really troubling you and worksheets just aren't cutting it, try purchasing a game from Best Buy or another computer store that focuses on Algebra skills.  They really do help.

OK:\na good way to study geometry is as follows.\nin class, take meticulous notes. try using Cornell notes technique. works great,. google Cornell notes, for that.\nsecond. always study geometry right away, either after class, or before other subjects. its a hard subject therefore it should be done first.\nHome work problems should be done, while reviewing notes. if you get stuck, review notes or textbook. always try to memorize the important postulates and theorems. but don't just read them, try to understand them.\nexample, the area of a Rhombus is 1/2times the product of the diagonals.. if you don't understand what the names are, you won't understand the problem. diagonals means, segment from corner to corner. product is what you get when you multiply.. etc.. vocabulary is the most important part of geometry, specially the first part of geometry. usually the second semester is more algebraic in nature. \nthe first semester involves proofs, so language is extremely important.\nand after you done homework, always review, review. daily... give yourself enough time everyday for math.... do this on a regular basis and you can an A.. very possible.\nGood luck.

We don't actually use vectors in our every day lives, though we learn all about them during our flight training. As far as algebra II, we never do any math which is that complicated.

first you need to take a intro to number theory class and linear and abstract algebra which all are recommended after the calc sequence and difrential equations. then you should have the prerequsite to take a class about algrothems which has quadratic siv included

hahaha, yes calculus is much harder than algebra 2. you see, there is a reason why you must complete algebra 1 & 2, as well as geometry and trigonometry before you procede to calculus, it is a combination of all, plus many many other things that you have never heard of and will probably never use unless you become a rocket scientist. \n\nmuch much harder

YES! aside from your basic order of operations, make sure you know all the rules dealing with properties of exponents.\n\nyou should also make sure you know your basic geometry, how a graph works, stuff like that.\n\nyou should also check out some basic trig. you just need to know the really basic stuff like sin=1/csc etc...\n\nalso, get yourself a graphing calculator and learn how to use it. get a TI-86 or TI-89. do NOT get a Casio or a TI numbered 83 or below. they are useless

The best way to attack proving problems in geometry is to answer and answer more proving related problem. No one can help to solve a problem. No one can help you speed up how you solve. It's you who can do that.\n\nMost of my classmates want to be good in algebra.\nBut they hate to solve algebraic proble,.\nI told them to try  answering all the questions and exercises in a book of algebra. At first, they did not believe what I have told them. Until they realize that they are becoming better and better in attacking problems in algebra.\n\nSo i think, it's up tp you if you will be good in proving geometric relations.\nI have also done it myself.\nAnd i can't believe believe that i can answer a problem with ease. It only took me a few second to answer a problem that my classmates took lots of minutes to answer.\n\nBelieve me. Solve and solve lots of problem. And you will soon realize that you will solve difficult problems with ease.

i do. i have geometry honors now and i hate it soooo much there are toooo many theorems to remember i wish i could go back and do algebra again.

Yes, i learned basic algebra in junior high.\nI see no reason why a high school senior would be incapable of learning it.

Okay, it's "beginning algebra", not "begging algebra".  For a good start, check out "Elmentary Algebra" in Wikipedia, and check out its external links.

I don't think you will find it hard. They usually start from the basics even in college. But you have to visit the prof or tutors outside the class to be clear on some things.\n\nGo for it if you want to take it.\n\nI disagree with most of the answers below -  I took algebra in college and the first couple of weeks is usually a refresh of what is thought in high school. It dosen't start getting difficult until later on in the semester. Maybe I'm just smart but Algebra is one of the easiest form of math.

I would try taking some guided study courses online. Try www.tesc.edu . They have excellent programs and they are regionally accredited which means their college credits will transfer to almost all the other colleges in the country. I would start with basic algebra, then go to geometry, then intermediate algebra, then statistics.

you can probably searth that like search Homework Help/ Tutoring websites for Geom/honors    and tht will probably work.

Actually, that's untrue.  You don't need to be a mathematician to need to use algebra.  Algebra helps you calculate many things and solve problems relating to groceries, finance, construction and much more.  I agree, it is tough and often boring to learn, however it is quite useful.
