This is it! The stretch run~ Here’s the syllabus/homework schedule for the final six weeks of the school year:
TAGPreAP Alg II 6th six weeks syllabus 0708.pdf
Please be advised that we are continuing with the B-day-first schedule through all of April and the first week of May. However, starting with the May 12-13 Chapter 12 test, we are returning to the traditional A-day-first schedule for the rest of the academic year.
update (4/5): there was a typo in the “Extra Practice” worksheet, #10 (the vertices and foci were reversed, and the problem was basically impossible). This has now been fixed, so please check the link for the correct numbers/answer.
update (4/8): found one more type, in the solution to #9 on the “Extra Practice”. The numerator should read “(y – 7)^2”, instead of “(y – 8)^2”.
Here is the review for the Chapter 10 test next week:
The Chapter 10 Exam (Conic Sections) is still a few weeks away (~April 23/24), but is one of the most difficult of the course. To help prepare for this test, we are posting the review a bit earlier than normal:
Algebra II Chapter 10 Review (pdf) | Review Solutions (pdf)
The main links are in Word format, but the pdf links are available as well (the graphs seem to print out a little nicer in Word, but if you have trouble getting the .doc to work right, try the PDFs).
This is it! We’re down to the final six weeks of the year (with TAKS testing sandwiched in the middle). Here is the syllabus/homework schedule:
