Description and Expectations
Algebra II
is a continuation of Algebra I, which is also a Pre-requisite. The
Algebra II course reflects the belief that the San Antonio School for Inquiry
and Creativity educational community fosters academic excellence and
responsible citizenship in a positive, safe and respectful environment in order
to develop productive contributors to society.
Algebra II
students are expected to:
- Write effective solutions to
problems and projects
- Present solutions to problems
effectively
- Use a variety of appropriate
resources including the computer and calculator to solve mathematical
problems
- Employ multiple critical and
creative thinking strategies in reasoning and problem solving
- Demonstrate a knowledge and
appreciation of how mathematics can be used outside the mathematics
classroom
Course
Objectives
The
student will be able to:
- Identify, state the properties
and perform arithmetic operations on real numbers in any format
- Solve systems of linear
equations and in two or three variables using algebraic and matrix methods
- Solve quadratic equations and
real world applications modeled by quadratic functions
- Graph and analyze the graphs of
quadratic equations
- Find probability of various
single, compound, dependent and independent events
- Perform algebraic, composition
and inverse operations on functions
- Solve systems of non-linear
equations
- Find the equations of linear
functions and use those equations to solve real world applications
- Solve real world applications
which use systems of linear equations in two or three variables using
algebraic and matrix methods
You
are expected to bring the following materials to class every day:
Lined paper, Graph paper & Pencils and
eraser
General
Classroom Behavior
- You are expected to
contribute to classes and work cooperatively whenever the situation
requires.
- You are expected to come
to class prepared and you are responsible for all missing work
- You are expected to use pencil
and show work for all mathematics on homework, class work, projects, tests
and quizzes
- There will be no leaving
the room except for emergencies, which should not occur often.
- No
eating or drinking in the classroom.
- No
electric devices in class
Grading
Policy
Your grade
consists of tests, quizzes, homework, class work, journal writing and projects

Tests
will account for about 40% of your grade; Participation 10%; Quizzes for 20%,
Homework for 20%; Projects and Classwork, etc. 10%
Homework
Homework is
very important when learning mathematics. Homework assignments (posted on
my blog) will be given 2 or 3 times a week and will often be graded. You
must use pencil to get full credit.
Make-up
Work
If you miss
a test, a quiz, project or a significant class work assignment (or a homework assignment
(posted on my blog) for any reason, you are expected to make it up. Generally,
you will be given up to one week from the day you return to make up that assignment.
No late Assignments accepted……
Incomplete
work, for any reason, will count as a 0. Quizzes and tests may be made up after school and
Saturday.
Extra
Help
If you are
having trouble with any material, you are expected to seek extra help from
me. I will be available after school in room from Monday to Thursday and
on Saturday by appointment.
