Algebra+2A+-+Fall+2011

=Algebra 2A - Fall 2011= =Mr. Bujak=

In an effort to be totally transparent and to support students 24/7/365.25, this volunteer-maintained and optional area is meant to be a collection of resources during the Fall 2011 semester "Algebra 2A" 0.5 credit course at Hope Charter High School. Applicable resources are also posted with each assessment in Power School Gradebook.

Algebra 2A Syllabus

We have a class set of Casio fx300MS calculators - manual.

Textbook: //Algebra 2//, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 2003, ISBN 0-03-066054-8

There is also a 0.25-inch __//Algebra 2 Practice Workbook//__, ISBN 0-03-054084-4, with "Practice" worksheets. Worksheets will be provided to the students contemporaneously. These are provided below as links as are other appropriate worksheets and other resources for that concept/topic; including, but not limited to Warm-Ups, PowerPoint slides, scanned teacher notes generated during class, short videos, supporting Websites, etc.

All assignments will also have a reference link here in the applicable PowerSchool Gradebook daily assignment description.

 * TI 83 graphing calculator - instructions: [|www.youtube.com/watch?v=92vZ0A3iztA]
 * Online
 * Desmos - @https://www.desmos.com/calculator/- phenomenal, can pick colors, can share and export, allows user defined variables with sliders, allows fully qualified subscripts, can turn graphs on/off, composite functions, great translation/dilation studies, can zoom with mouse wheel, can pan with mouse, supports inequalities (shading),
 * review and video - www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/09/desmos-improves-their-browser-based.html
 * NLVM Grapher - allows 3 functions with 3 variables to control with sliders, windowing, tracing, great for illustrating translations/dilation and composite functions.
 * www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/DataFlyer - with scaling, sliders, grid, data, trace, but not multiple functions (only one graph at a time)
 * Online graphing calculator - from mathworsheetsgo.com - nice but does not provide variable control of arbitrary values to investigate translation/dilation, does not support composite functions.
