Algebra II
Teacher: Toni Boyd
Grades: 9 - 12
Meets: T/Th 8:45 - 10:00 Full
Class Description: We will complete the textbook Algebra 2, by Saxon. Algebra 2 covers all topics that are traditionally covered in second-year algebra as well as a considerable amount of geometry. In fact, students completing Algebra 2 will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry. Ample time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines. Real-world problems are included along with applications to other subjects such as physics and chemistry. Two to three lessons will be covered in each class period in a discussion oriented method, working sample problems in class. Some SAT problems will be included in the class discussion, time permitting. Also, time is allowed for questions from homework. The material is in small portions and easily handled in this manner. Quizzes and tests will be given in class.
