Course Description:
Students who complete this course will be proficient in the standards
assigned by this course from the CCSS and the College and Career Readiness
established by ACT.
During the course of this class students will be covering half of the Algebra 2
course required for graduation in the State of Michigan. The topics covered
will include: Investigations and Functions, Transformations of Parent Graphs,
Equivalent forms of Expressions and Functions, and Solving Equations and
Inequalities for Intersections.
Students will be participating in this class in an online environment requiring
both group participation and individual work. Students will be expected to
to check their email daily to maintain the most recent information from the
class. It is essential to be involved in all discussions and notify the instructor
of any issues that arise.
