Description
The
purpose
of
this
course
is
to
satisfy
the
Algebra
II
requirement
of
the
Common
Core
Mathematics
Standards
recently
adopted
by
the
State
of
Ohio.
This
upper
level
course
fits
into
an
overall
program
of
mathematics
studies
with
a
rigorous
academic
core
by
extending
what
students
have
learned
in
the
introductory-level
mathematics
courses
as
well
as
introducing
more
advanced
topics.
These
advanced
topics
include
linear
equations,
inequalities,
and
systems,
quadratic,
polynomial,
exponential,
logarithmic,
and
rational
functions,
equations,
and
expressions.

Geometry
Instructional
Philosophy
This
course
introduces
students
to
key
concepts
and
theories
that
provide
a
foundation
for
further
study
in
mathematics
(College
Algebra,
Pre-Calculus,
Calculus,
and
beyond)
and
increases
students
mathematic
literacy,
problem
solving,
and
critical
thinking
skills.
The
problem
solving
and
critical
thinking
skills
that
students
learn
in
Algebra
II
are
valuable
tools
that
can
be
taken
to
and
applied
in
other
disciplines.
The
kind
of
learning
activities
in
which
students
will
engage
can
be
described
as
cooperative
group
investigations,
partner
collaboration,
or
individual
work
(depending
on
the
topic
and
assignment.)
All
of
which
are
designed
to
help
students
understand
and
explain
the
key
concepts
presented
in
this
course,
incorporating
mathematical
reasoning,
analysis,
communication
skills,
and
real
world
applications.
Students
will
learn
and
apply
the
principles
of
Algebra
II
while
employing
21st
Century
Skills,
including
creativity/innovation,
communication,
collaboration,
critical
thinking,
problem
solving,
and
decision-making.
Students
will
experience
hands-on
activities
and
participate
in
class
discussions
with
open-ended
problem
solving.
Students
will
conduct
computer-assisted
research
and/or
assignments
and
use
word
processing
to
complete
some
assignments
and
projects.
Students
will
also
use
collaborative
tools
(wiki,
blogs,
etc.)
to
help
them
achieve
course
goals
by
creating
multi-media
presentations.
