As far as possible, students are allowed to investigate algebraic concepts and processes before being introduced to the formulas and symbolic representations. Topics for exploration will include: linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and irrational functions. You will expand your understanding of the number system to include complex numbers, and you will develop an understanding of the concepts of elementary trigonometry, elementary probability, and sequences and series. You also will learn to model real-world problems using these concepts.
A graphing calculator will be required at this level and beyond.Prerequisites
Algebra I & Geometry.
Recommended background
Algebra I & Geometry.
Teacher's notes:
In the fall of 2010, Mr. Mabbott will be away from classes traveling to Africa from mid-October to mid-November and he will not have access to his computer. He has not yet finalized plans for that time period but will discuss several options with his students and their families to see which works out best for all concerned.
