322N Algebra 2 ACP

Gr 10 | 6 Credits | Year-Long | 5x per Cycle

   *Prerequisite: Algebra 1

The fundamental notion of function is the primary focus of this course. This course will rely on and extend the knowledge obtained in first-year algebra and geometry. The study of functions will be approached from a variety of perspectives (e.g., symbolically and graphically), emphasizing the importance and representation of functions in “real world” applications. Families of functions of particular concern in this course include linear through quadratic and higher power polynomial functions, as well as absolute value, square root, and an introduction to exponential and logarithmic functions. Units covering the introduction to statistics and an introduction to right triangle trigonometry are also be included. A graphing calculator will be required for this course; students enrolled in this course will be expected to have mastered the content of previous math courses, especially first-year algebra.

Essential Skills:

• Create and interpret algebraic representations using correct notation

• Simplify, solve and evaluate numerical and algebraic expressions and equations

• Draw valid conclusions and justify reasoning and solutions
