WELCOME TO ALGEBRA 2/TRIGONOMETRY

Mr. TurnerRoom 624

IN THIS COURSE WE WILL BE STUDYING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:

Factoring & Rational Expressions

Radicals & Complex Numbers

Equations

Solving Quadratic Equations & Inequalities

Properties of Quadratics

Relations & Functions

Transformations

Exponents & Logarithms

Trigonometry

Sequences & Series

Statistics, Regressions & Probability

WHAT THE STUDENTS NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL:

2” 3-Ring Binder

Scientific CalculatorGraphing calculator may be used, but is not required (TI83-plus is recommended)

Writing Utensil

Graph Paper & Loose Leaf Paper

MY EXPECTATIONS OF THE STUDENTS:

Be respectful

Be here on time

Be prepared

Homework done and out, ready to be checked

Maximum effort

NO TEXTBOOK:

We do not have a textbook. Packets distributed by unit

Kept in a 2” binder

Students will be assigned homework out of the packets daily.

HOW ARE THE STUDENTS ASSESSED?

Daily homework –

This is checked daily and 1 point is deducted from their final marking period average for every homework assignment not done.

Quizzes – 12-15 per marking period counting as 40% of their grade.

Unit Tests – taken at the end of each unit counting as 60% of their grade.

Their overall marking period grade is just the sum of the two percentages.

Regents exam at the end of the year counts as 20% of their overall average for the year.
