Pre-AP Algebra II: Changes to Syllabus for Chapter 10~

We are making some changes to the syllabus for Chapter 10, starting with the first section.

The following is the updated assignment for Wednesday/Thursday, March 26/27 (due the 28/31):

  • Skip section 10-1 (page 726).  Don’t do it.
  • Circles worksheet: 10_2 Circles Worksheet.pdf 
  • Problems from the book, section 10-2, pages 732-734:
    • #20, 21, 23-28 all, 36 and 37

Also of note:

  • We will be combining sections 10-3 (ellipses) and 10-4 (hyperbolas) into one class day (March 28/31).
  • Section 10-5 (parabolas) will be moved up to April 1/2.
  • Section 10-6 (completing the square!) gets moved up to April 3/4.
  • April 7/8 will be our Chapter 10 review day (this is the first block of the 6th six weeks).
  • The chapter 10 test will be on April 9/10 (Weds/Thurs, B-day first), and will cover sections 10.2 – 10.6.
  • Section 10-7 (non-linear systems) will be covered on April 11/14, but will not be tested over.

Assignments for each section will be updated appropriately.

Algebra II (Regular) Chapter 9 Notes

Chapter 9 (rational functions) is one of the more difficult in the course, and just in case you lose them, here are the notes for the entire chapter (same notes handed out in class):

Algebra II (Regular) 9-1 Notes and Worksheet

As I mentioned in class, unless you want homework over Spring Break (blegh), you will want to finish 9-1 and 9-2 before you leave for the break.  Here are the notes for 9-1, attached with the worksheet that contains the problems for section 9-1 (if you do this, you can ignore the bookwork assigned on the syllabus).

(ideally, you want to finish this BEFORE you come to class on Thursday/Friday… otherwise it’s more than likely you’ll have homework over Spring Break)

We will go over the notes for section 9-2 on Thursday/Friday, our last meeting before Spring Break, and you should be able to finish 9-2 in class that day.

Again: Finish 9-1 and 9-2 before you leave for Spring Break, otherwise it’s homework over the break!
