Course Description:
ALGEBRA 2a:
2 semester class; grade levels 10 & 11. Prerequisites: Algebra 1
This class extends and deepens the concepts presented in Algebra 1, and is compliant with the new Common Core Standards for Algebra 2. Taken in combination with Trigonometry, Algebra 2 is designed to prepare the student for college mathematics, and this class serves as one of the math requirements for entrance at the college/university level. The core curriculum of this class covers the following units of instruction: single variable equations & inequalities, linear functions, linear systems, quadratic equations & functions, polynomial operations, power, root & radical operations, exponential & logarithmic functions, sequences & series, and permutations, combinations & probability. Optional topics include statistics & data analysis, and complex number operations. Students are expected to master analytical, numerical, algebraic, graphical and verbal reasoning in completing this class. The class will comply with all requirements of IDEA 2004/ADA/Section 504 with respect to the accommodations and modifications necessary for the provision of equal access to learning opportunities for all.

Grading
Attendance - 20%
Participation - 20%
Binder - 15%
Classwork - 45%
-Homework - 15%
-Tests/Quizzes - 20%
-Projects - 10%
Note:
-Participation: Students will be graded each class period out of 5 points. If students take notes, follow along, are engaged, and have done the homework for that class period they will receive a 5/5.
-Binder: Students must have a binder with notes from each class period as well as completed tests, quizzes, projects and homework and must be orderly. This will be scored out of 10 points and will be conducted every 4-6 weeks.
-Homework: Homework is graded for completion only, and students must show work for all answers. Students a responsible for ensuring their answers are correct and they can complete each question when homework is reviewed in class. A homework where all problems have been attempted and work is shown will receive a + or 10/10. A homework where most of the answers have been attempted and work is shown will receive a +/- or 5/10. A homework where only the answers are given without work shown or is mostly incomplete will receive a - or 0/10. Late homework will be accepted and the highest grade students can achieve is a 5/10.
-Projects: Projects are due on the date given by the instructor, this is often given verbally. 20% will be deducted from the total score of the project for each day it is late.
Course Notes
There is usually homework every day, students are required to come to class with the homework completed. Before it is collected, students are assigned a problem and complete it on the board. We then go over how each homework problem is correctly solved and then students hand in the homework where it is graded for completion and work shown. Students are responsible for ensuring they copy and understand each problem.
After homework review anew topic building upon what was previously learned is introduced, a few example problems are put on the board, and the class is asked to try a few on their own then ensure they got the correct answer. A new homework is given based upon the new material due the following class.
Quizzes will be about every 4 weeks and consist of problems taken from the homework sets.
Tests will be once every quarter with the end of 1st semester and final tests being cumulative. Review will be done in class before a test to give students a chance to ask questions and refresh their memories.
If students come to class, take notes, participate in projects, and do their homework to the best of their abilities, they should not receive less than a C.
