Curso de Álgebra 2 de la profesora Kitty | 1.er semestre | ¡Booyah, lo entiendo! | Early Bird Sp

This is an Algebra 2 high school math course. Specifically, this course covers the first semester of the complete Algebra 2 course. Upon completion, learners will be ready to take the second part of this class.

This is an Algebra 2 high school math course which is used for the proctored assessments for a grade as well as study sessions to prepare for the assessments. These assessments work in conjunction with my Algebra 2 content courses.  A visual explanation of the flow of these courses as well as hyperlinks to the listings for more details can be found at this link: https://bit.ly/TeacherKittyAlgebra2System

In this first trimester of Algebra 2, learners will learn about quadratic equations and graphs, factoring, graphing, complex and imaginary number, and laws of radical and exponents.

The elements learned in first trimester will prepare the student for the second which focuses on graphing and interpreting functions, beginning with linear functions and moving on to more complex functions.

It's important to understand that I teach to mastery. I will teach each concept thoroughly and take the time to address questions and make sure I assess each learner and whether they are tracking with the topics.  I will be available to help students who need additional support.  I will, on occasion, support a student who is struggling and has already tried slowing down the recording of the class and working towards a better understanding. 

The Outschool classes which provide the instruction and tutoring for this course are listed below.

Session 1 L1  1.1-1.2  Functions, Interval Notation, Domain and Range

Session 5 L1 4.2 Laws of Exponents 
Session 6 L1 4.2 Multiplying Polynomials
Session 7 L1  5.1a Factoring with GCF
Session 8 L1 5.1b Trinomial Factoring
Session 9 L1 5.2 Advanced Trinomial Factoring
Session 10 L2 1.1-1.2 What is a polynomial and graphing a quadratic
Session 11 L2 2.1 Transitioning between forms of Quadratics
Session 12 2.2 Completing the Square
Session 13 L2 3.1-3.2 Complex Numbers 
Session 14 L2 4.1 The Quadratic Formula

What to expect during a study session: 
I will take a practice study guide for the assessment and walk through part of all of it depending on how quickly the class wants to move.

What to expect during a proctored assessment: 
I will review the rules of the assessment before beginning the test.
Students will need to have their cameras on and use only direct messages once the assessment begins.
Students will need to keep a paper copy of their answers.
If a student wants to use the recording to take the test on their own, they need the approval from their parents who need to send that to me through an Outschool message. Use of the recordings is a great way for parents to work with their learner using accommodations of additional time for testing.

Some class policies:

A - Students who are not able to make class have access to the recordings.

B - The group dynamics and interaction between leaners and the teacher are critical to a successful class.  If learners do not arrive in class according to Outschool's standard for a viable participation (10 minutes), I will leave the classroom, according to Outschool's policy.
