Mathematics Department - Common Core Algebra 2 Curriculum 2022-23
Course Philosophy/Description
Common Core Algebra 2 is the capstone course of the three units of credit required for a Regents diploma. This course is a continuation and extension of the two courses that preceded it. Algebra 2 continues the students’ study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions, systems of functions and inequalities. While developing the algebraic techniques that will be required of those students that continue their study of mathematics, this course is also intended to continue developing alternative solution strategies and algorithms.
Within this course, the number system will be extended to include imaginary and complex numbers. The families of functions to be studied will include polynomials, absolute value, radical, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications and modeling. Students extend their knowledge and understanding by solving open ended real-world problems and thinking critically through the use of high level tasks.
Students will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge in: utilizing essential algebraic concepts to perform calculations on polynomial expression; performing operations with complex numbers and graphing complex numbers; solving and graphing linear equations/inequalities and systems of linear equations/inequalities; solving, graphing, and interpreting the solutions of quadratic functions; solving, graphing, and analyzing solutions of polynomial functions, including complex solutions; manipulating rational expressions, solving rational equations, and graphing rational functions; solving logarithmic and exponential equations; and solving equations.

Complex Numbers (10 Days) ***Potential to be shorter*** |
Define and use the imaginary unit i. Add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers. Find complex solutions and zeros. -Imaginary Numbers -Complex Numbers -Solving Quadratic Equations with Complex Solutions -The Discriminant of a Quadratic SPED Strategies: Relate the idea of adding, subtracting and multiplying complex numbers to whole numbers. Explain the background of complex numbers and connect to real life by explaining how they are used in electrical circuits. Use the example of the cyclical nature of the ones digit in the powers of 3 and connect it to the cyclical nature of the powers of i. Develop a reference document with students with verbal and pictorial descriptions. ELL Strategies: Discuss how to determine whether two complex numbers are equal. Explain that you want to add two complex numbers. “What would make sense for (6 + 3i) + (2 − 5i)? Describe and explain orally and in writing how to use properties of operations to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers in the student’s native language and/or use selected technical vocabulary in phrases and short sentences with equations to explain the solution. Encourage students to highlight like terms - use one color for the real parts and another color for the imaginary parts. Make a table with the words: Imaginary Unit, Complex Number and Imaginary Number, then write an example for each word in the column. |
