Algebra II
Course Overview
This course is designed to teach topics in Algebra II that include factoring; equations and inequalities; linear relations and functions; systems of equations and inequalities; matrices; quadratic functions and inequalities; polynomial functions; radical equations and inequalities; and advanced functions and relations. It is expected that students master basic skills readily in order to put emphasis on applications and problem solving.
Major Course Objectives
Textbook, Instructional Materials, Resources
Grading
Homework will be checked for completion daily and there will be graded homework assignments. Quizzes will be announced and will be given periodically. Writing assignments and projects will be given appropriate to the topics covered during the nine week period. Tests will be given with an average of three tests per quarter. The students will also be expected to follow the iPad regulations attached.
Technology
Make sure that you always have your calculator with you in class as you will not be allowed to use your iPad unless we are using a specific app or website that day in class. For virtual days and various other assignments eBackpack will be used for administering the assignment and for turning in the assignment. Other apps will be used, such as DESMOS, but should already be on your iPads, if they are not when we go to use them I will make sure you are able to download them. On my website I will have links to resources that you can use for extra practice on any concept we are learning. If you do not know the best resource to use please see me and I will give you my recommendations.

- It is your responsibility as a student to seek help when you do not understand something. I am available after school until 3:05 every day. If you need help please let me know. As previously mentioned I will also have additional resources on my Weebly page for help and practice.
