Algebra 2 EVP

Description:

In this course, students will build on previous mathematical knowledge from Algebra I to investigate and use functions to solve problems. Students will analyze and graph functions that include linear functions, quadratic functions, exponential, and rational functions through investigations, projects, videos, and written material. Additional topics include sequences and series, matrices, conics, and statistics. Students will implement various mathematical processes and learn to justify their solutions. The students will also practice communicating their learning by using proper notation and making connections to previous learning. At the end of the course, the students will have developed their problem-solving abilities as well as the ability to view a real-world problem in context.

The recommended sequence for students taking non-Honors courses: Algebra 1 – Geometry – Algebra 2 – Other 300+ math

Special Notes:

TI-84+ or TI-84+ CE (preferred) Graphing calculators are not optional. Graphing Calculators are a required tool in this course. In each unit, students are given instruction and practice on the capabilities of their graphing calculator as they relate to calculus by both the instructor and the text.

FROM THE TEACHER

There is a mathematical description for everything that happens around us, from the patterns of the tide to why squirrels run in front of cars. In this course, we will be exploring how God uses math to describe His moral character to us. Some of the concepts that we will be exploring include transformations, exponentials and logarithms, introductory statistics, and introductory calculus. We will also be working on building mathematical communication skills that will help you when connecting with others at a STEM based level.

If there are books and materials for this course, they can be purchased from our Online Bookstore.

Student Feedback

The live classes helped me a lot in understanding the material and staying on track.

The games and activities make the course more entertaining.

The overall course was fun, and I enjoyed Algebra II.
