Description: The first semester of a two-semester course covering Algebra 2 by Abeka Book. This course continues the study of algebra and is for students who have successfully completed Algebra 1.  In this course, students will use their reasoning ability to logically solve problems dealing with the axioms, rules, and principles of algebra. 
Suggested Age: Grades 10 and up
Required Course Texts and Materials: The required textbooks (not included in price of course) are available at Abeka Book (www.abeka.com) and are listed with their respective code number. These include:
1.) Algebra 2, Code Number: 82406, $26.25;
2.) Algebra 2 Solution Key, Code Number: 86193, $47.00;
3.) Algebra 2 Test and Quiz Book, Code Number: 86207, $11.25.
4.) Students are required to use an Iogear Digital Scribe Pen with USB Receiver (www.iogear.com).
5.) Scientific calculator; the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is recommended. (This is the calculator used by the instructor, and will be the only one the instructor will be able to help the student if he/she needs help operating his/her calculator.)
6.) In addition, the student will be required to scan their unit tests and all scratch paper. These will then be saved as .pdf or .jpeg files and uploaded using the provided link on the class page. (Tests may not be faxed or emailed to the instructor.)
Content Covered:  Course will begin with a short review of Algebra 1 concepts, including order of operations, polynomials, literal equations and inequalities, and algebraic representation of basic geometric figures.  The remainder of the school year will cover Algebra 2 concepts, such as factoring of binomials and other equations; fractions; rational expressions; equations in one variable; linear equations; variations and dependence; systems of equations and linear functions; powers and roots; exponents, radicals, and imaginary numbers; quadratic equations and logarithms; progressions; numerical trigonometry and solution of the right triangle.
Grading:  Students will be graded by the following:  class participation, on-line quizzes, and tests which will need to be scanned or faxed to the instructor for manual grading.  (The online activities labeled "homework questions" can be attempted as many times as desired and are not included in the course grade.  These "homework questions" activities are to be used to prepare for the online quizzes.)  The online quizzes can be attempted twice with only the highest score being recorded.  The tests will be graded by the instructor.
Instructor: Mrs. Grant
Class Chat Time: Wed. 10:00-11:50 am EST
High School Course Credit: Students completing both semesters of Algebra 2 should receive one high school credit in mathematics.
