Course Description:

This is the last course in the New York State Regents curriculum and the standards presented in this rigorous course will be addressed. Students completing this sequence may qualify for the Advanced Regents Diploma. The class will develop higher-level algebraic skills and apply them to a variety of scientific, economic, and everyday situations. Exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and statistical functions are explored. The quadratic formula, higher-level factoring techniques, working with polynomials and rational expressions are a major component of study. In addition, topics in coordinate geometry will allow for the integration of analytical and geometric representations. Topics in measurement and data analysis will round out the curriculum. To meet the requirements of the Regents program, students will receive training on the use of the TI-84+ graphing calculator. Students will take the Algebra 2 Regents exam in June. 

Topics Covered:

• Unit 1 - Algebraic Essentials Review
• Unit 2 - Functions as the Cornerstones of Algebra II
• Unit 3 - Linear Functions, Equations, and Their Algebra
• Unit 4 - Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
• Unit 5 - Sequences and Series
• Unit 6 - Quadratic Functions and Their Algebra
• Unit 7 - Transformations of Functions
• Unit 8 - Radicals and the Quadratic Formula
• Unit 9 - Complex Numbers
• Unit 10 - Polynomial and Rational Functions
• Unit 11 - The Circular Functions (Trigonometry)
• Unit 12 - Probability
• Unit 13 – Statistics

Homework Policy:

Homework is assigned daily.  Quality work is expected of students.    

Grading Policy:

• The homework grade accounts for 10% of the quarter grade                                                        
• Tests are cumulative anAlgebra 2d administered about every 2 weeks (100 pts).
• Quizzes are administered between tests and are not cumulative approximately 20 pts.
• At the end of each quarter a cumulative exam will be given.  This 10-week test can replace a student’s lowest test grade.
