Course Description

  • Algebra 2B is a course that completes the 2nd half of the Algebra 2 book. Topics covered will be polynomial functions, function notation, inverses of functions, transformations, exponential growth, and decay, trigonometry, probability, statistics, radical functions, rational functions, sequences, and series. There will also be an ACT and MCA review built into the class.

Algebra 2B Proficiency Targets

  • As evidenced based on classroom assessments, the student is able to:

    • 9.2.1 Understand the concept of function, and identify important features of functions and other relations using symbolic and graphical methods where appropriate.
    • 9.2.2 Recognize linear, quadratic, exponential and other common functions in real-world and mathematical situations; represent these functions with tables, verbal descriptions, symbols and graphs; solve problems involving these functions, and explain results in the original context.
    • 9.2.3 Generate equivalent algebraic expressions involving polynomials and radicals; use algebraic properties to evaluate expressions.
    • 9.2.4 Represent real-world and mathematical situations using equations and inequalities involving linear, quadratic, exponential and nth root functions. Solve equations and inequalities symbolically and graphically. Interpret solutions in the original context.
    • 9.4.1 Display and analyze data; use various measures associated with data to draw conclusions, identify trends and describe relationships.
    • 9.4.2 Explain the uses of data and statistical thinking to draw inferences, make predictions and justify conclusions.
    • 9.4.3 Calculate probabilities and apply probability concepts to solve real world and mathematical problems
