SYLLABUS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Students in Algebra II are assumed to have mastered those concepts outlined in the Algebra I and geometry Virginia SOLs. Students study advanced algebraic concepts through functions, polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers, matrices, and sequences and series. Emphasis is placed on practical application and modeling. Oral and written communication concerning the language of algebra, logic of procedures, and interpretation of results are studied. Students study graphing functions using a transformational approach, including translation, reflections, dilation, and rotation to general a family of graphs from a given graph. They study the close relationship between algebraic concepts and graphic representations of functions. They also vary the coefficients and constants and an equation, observe the changes in the graph of an equation, and formulate generalizations that can be applied to many graphs.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS
Students are expected to bring the following to class daily: paper, pencil, and a three ring binder or folder. Students should also have with them their textbook and all completed assignments ready to be checked.
