Algebra II

Instructor: Patty Armstrong

Curriculum Map, Class Page

Algebra II builds upon the foundation laid in Algebra I and Geometry. The students continue to use both functions and relations in the study of algebraic concepts with an emphasis on the application of algebraic principles and models in real-life situations. The students learn how individuals use algebraic knowledge to make decisions that change the world by translating real-life situations to mathematical models, obtaining solutions, and then translating the solutions back into the real-life context.

In Algebra II, students continue to learn how to think logically. They use mathematics to learn careful logical thought processes and how to spot logical fallacies in advertisers, politicians, and newscasters. Students examine how we use equations and inequalities to analyze the conclusions of public opinion surveys about politicians and what these individuals are doing to change the world. They analyze real-world situations where they develop systems of equations and inequalities and use these systems to decide how best to minimize costs but still meet nutritional requirements and make healthy decisions.

Students consider the following questions:

• How do we use equations and inequalities to see what people believe about what individuals are doing to change the world? How do we use systems of equations and inequalities to see how to make nutritional and healthy lifestyle changes in our world?
