| ALGEBRA II
GRADE 10 - 12 PREREQUISITES: ALGEBRA I and GEOMETRY
ALGEBRA II EXPANDS ALGEBRA CONCEPTS AND PREPARES THE STUDENT FOR
TRIGONOMETRY, ELEMENTARY ANALYSIS, CALCULUS, AND COLLEGE MATHEMATICS. THIS
COURSE EXTENDS ALGEBRA I SKILLS TO REVIEW BASIC NUMBER THEORY, OPERATIONS
WITH POLYNOMIALS, ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS, FUNCTIONS, GRAPHING AND SOLVING
LINEAR EQUATIONS, AND FACTORING POLYNOMIALS. ALSO ALGEBRA II EXTENDS THEORY
TO INCLUDE SEQUENCES, SERIES, RADICALS, QUADRATIC EQUATIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS
AND SELECTED TOPICS SUCH AS LOGARITHMS, MATRICES, AND PROBABILITY.
SEMESTER 1:
ALGEBRA I REVIEW, FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS (OBJ. 1); ANALYZATION OF GRAPHS
AND TABLES (OBJ. 2); LINEAR FUNCTIONS (OBJ. 3); LINEAR EQUATIONS AND LINEAR
INEQUALITIES (OBJ 4); QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS AND EXPONENTS (OBJ.5); SEMESTER
TEST
SEMESTER 2:
GEOMETRY REVIEW: GEOMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS AND REASONING (OBJ.6); TWO AND
THREE DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS (OBJ. 7); GEOMETRY OF SIZE AND SHAPE
(OBJ.8); PERCENTS, PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS
(OBJ. 9); TEST TAKING STATEGIES AND REVIEW; SEMESTER TEST
WEEKLY STANDARD SCHEDULE:
MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY ARE RESERVED FOR THE PRESENTATION OF NEW
MATERIAL AND EXERCISES AND ACTIVITIES TO INSURE MASTERY OF INFORMATION
PRESENTED. THURSDAY IS A REVIEW DAY FOR THE MATERIAL LEARNED DURING THE
WEEK. FRIDAY IS THE TESTING DAY TO TEST FOR MASTERY OF THE MATERIAL
PRESENTED.
GRADING:
70% OF THE STUDENTS GRADE IS DETERMINED FROM THE WEEKLY EXAMS GIVEN (FRIDAY
TESTS)
30% OF THE STUDENTS GRADE IS DETERMINED FROM DAILY GRADES, QUIZZES, AND
PARTICIPATION GRADES.
