Advanced Algebra (Period 7)

Advanced Algebra satisfies the California Common Core Standards for Algebra 2. This course is designed to build on algebraic and geometric concepts taught in previous courses. A primary goal is for students to conceptualize, analyze, and identify relationships among functions. Units of study include: Linear Systems, Quadratic Functions, Polynomial Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Rational and Radical Functions, Probability and Statistics, Conic Sections, Sequences and Series and Trigonometric Functions.Students will develop their ability to think mathematically and develop their conceptual understanding of mathematics and procedural fluency in mathematics by working collaboratively on a regular basis. Students will also learn to use mathematical models to understand real world events and situations, and use algebraic reasoning to manipulate these models for deeper learning as well as be able to justify and defend their thinking.
