Jan. 7: Parent Functions & Transformations worksheets; Multiplying and Dividing Rational Expressions worksheet
Supplies:
3-ring binder, paper, pencils, a graphing calculator (if you plan on taking more upper level math courses) or a scientific calculator.
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, statistics, 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 generalize 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.The graphics calculator, computer, textbook, and appropriate videos are the major resources.Evaluations of student's knowledge will be conducted on a regular basis by means of tests, quizzes, homework, classwork and projects.
