About

Hey all, this series is intended to teach you all about polynomials in the context of Algebra II. We'll largely be following the Khan Academy curriculum but will also dive into some deeper concepts. 

Each session will consist of (1) an introduction to the relevant material and (2) a practice period. In the practice period, I'll give everyone a few problems to attempt on their own, and afterward we'll review the problems together. At any point during the session, you are welcome to ask questions!
