Recognizing this, many postsecondary systems around the country have begun diversifying math pathways beyond the traditional algebra-intensive sequence. Yet, lingering reservations about the new courses remain an obstacle to their expansion. Some educators worry about relaxing standards, an understandable concern given that traditionally the algebra pathway was uniquely associated with college success. At the same time, equity advocates fear that new pathways could be used to track students of color and other marginalized students into less rigorous pathways.
Whether such pathways are actually less rigorous or just perceived to be less rigorous, they could be implemented in ways that close off future opportunities for students. Access to high school Algebra 2 has been seen as a civil right because of its use as a gatekeeper to college. And, to ensure newly designed pathways meet those goals, researchers need to shed light on the equity implications of math education policies and practices.
Lexa Logue, former provost of the City University of New York, is doing just that, debunking some long-held assumptions in the process. The latest findings from her team, besides fueling the growth of new math pathways in higher education, may also help pave the way for broader adoption in high school. The new research shows that students who were assigned to remedial algebra courses but instead enrolled in statistics corequisite courses were 50 percent more likely to graduate from CUNY within a three-year period.
Corequisites are an alternative to remedial prerequisites in which students needing additional support receive extra help while taking a college gateway course. You and Judy both seem to imply that College Algebra is a course taught in college. For what it's worth, in my experience the course is taught in high school. Quite by coincidence, the question came up at the community college where I tutor, and the lead tutor said that"college algebra" was a misnomer because it is a high-school course.
I'm not saying you and Judy are wrong, just that the term means different things depending on whom you ask. My groups class presentation will be on the 'box construction' problem; a historical and theoretical perspective.
I'd really be interested in comparing college algebra of my father's generation mid '70's to mine; no comparison to what I'm learningI'm definitely ahead of the college algebra of his time. To me what this means is that in your father's era, 'college algebra' wasn't even offered because everyone already knew it. I'm always astounded when I hear of 'college algebra.

Algebra 2 itself is not a very difficult class because its core is very similar to that of Algebra 1, but practice is very important to succeed in a class like Algebra 2.
You can also engage a professional math tutor from Tutor City tuition agency to help your child with difficult Algebra questions. Algebra II, or intermediate algebra, has a prerequisite of Algebra I. College algebra is a transfer level algebra course offered at many California community colleges and CSU campuses and generally has a prerequisite of intermediate algebra.
