Algebra II extends the knowledge students have of algebraic and statistical concepts. They have investigated linear, exponential, and quadratic functions in previous years. Algebra II further develops important mathematical ideas introduced in Algebra I by extending techniques to solve equations and students knowledge of functions by studying inverses and new function families: polynomial, radical, trigonometric, and rational functions. Students will also spend a significant portion of the school year studying probability and statistics. There are some (+) standards that are included in this course because the standards naturally support the assessed Algebra II content. This document reflects our current thinking related to the intent of Arizona s College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics and assumes 160 days for instruction, divided among 11 units. The number of days suggested for each unit assumes 45 minute class periods and is included to convey how instructional time should be balanced across the year. The units are sequenced in a way that we believe best develops and connects the mathematical content described in the standards; however, the order of the standards included in any unit does not imply a sequence of content within that unit. Some standards may be revisited several times during the course; others may be only partially addressed in different units, depending on the focus of the unit. Strikethroughs in the text of the standards are used in some cases in an attempt to convey that focus, and comments are included throughout the document to clarify and provide additional background for each unit. Throughout Algebra II, students should continue to develop proficiency with Arizona s College and Career Ready Standards eight Standards for Mathematical Practice: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 6. Attend to precision. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 4. Model with mathematics. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. These practices should become the natural way in which students come to understand and do mathematics. While, depending on the content to be understood or on the problem to be solved, any practice might be brought to bear, some practices may prove more useful than others. Opportunities for highlighting certain practices are indicated in different units in this document, but this highlighting should not be interpreted to mean that other practices should be neglected in those units. When using this document to help in planning your district's instructional program, you will also need to refer to the standards document, relevant progressions documents for the standards, and the appropriate assessment consortium framework.

Unit 3: Quadratic Equations and Complex Numbers Suggested number of days: 14 The strategies for solving quadratic equations presented previously were introduced at the end of Algebra 1. The difference now is that solutions are not restricted to real numbers. The technique of completing the square so that the Quadratic Formula can be derived is introduced. Students will use five strategies for solving quadratic equations: graphing, square rooting, factoring, completing the square, and using the Quadratic Formula. As the number of strategies increases in the unit, students should be making informed choices as to which strategy to use given the equation. The last two lessons extend work with solving quadratic equations to solving nonlinear systems and solving quadratic inequalities.

Unit 4: Polynomial Functions Suggested number of days: 20 Linear and quadratic functions are two types of polynomials, so connections to earlier work are easily made and polynomial functions are defined and graphed. The notation and vocabulary can be overwhelming for students, though some of the vocabulary was used in Algebra 1. End behavior of even- and odd-degree polynomials is explored. Prior work with factoring is extended to third- and fourth-degree expressions. Synthetic division is used to efficiently check for possible rational roots when rewriting polynomials in factored form in order to solve polynomial equations. All of the work with operations on polynomials, factoring, and solving leads to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra in this unit.

B. Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials 2. Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x a) is a factor of p(x). 3. Identify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function defined by the polynomial. C. Use polynomial identities to solve problems 4. Prove polynomial identities and use them to describe numerical relationships.

Know and apply the Binomial Theorem for the expansion of (x + y) n in powers of x and y for a positive integer n, where x and y are any numbers, with coefficients determined for example by Pascal s Triangle.

Unit 5: Rational Exponents and Radical Functions Suggested number of days: 13 This unit introduces radicals and nth roots and how these may be written as rational exponents. A connection is made to the properties of exponents studied in Algebra 1, noting that now exponents can be rational numbers and are no longer restricted to being nonzero integers. Radical expressions, also written in rational exponent form, are represented as functions and are graphed. This leads to a look at the difference between even- and odd-degree functions and what the domains are for each function type. Even and odd functions are defined. The graphs of radical functions are used to help students think about solutions of radical equations and inequalities. Certainly, one goal is for students to recognize that solving radical equations is an extension of solving other types of functions. The difference, however, is that sometimes extraneous solutions are introduced when solving radical equations, so it is necessary to check apparent solutions. Inverse functions are presented finding the inverse of linear, simple polynomial, and radical functions, and noting that the graphs of inverse functions are reflections in the line y = x. The Real Number System N RN A. Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents. 1. Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5 1/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5 1/3 ) 3 = 5 (1/3)3 to hold, so (5 1/3 ) 3 must equal 5. 2. Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents. Creating equations A CED A. Create equations that describe numbers or relationships 4.

Extend to include all exponential functions. Mesa Public Schools 11 May 2015

Unit 6: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Suggested number of days: 17 This unit presents two new types of functions, exponential and logarithmic. Students should have some prior experience with exponential functions from Algebra 1, particularly with growth and decay models. The natural base e, an irrational number, is introduced and students write and graph exponential functions for base e and other bases. Compound interest and continuous compounding are two of the many applications explored. The logarithmic function, which is the inverse of the exponential function, is introduced, and the connection to properties of exponents is made. The unit also looks at solving exponential and logarithmic equations using different approaches: analytical, numerical, and graphical. The unit uses mathematical modeling - given a set of data, an exponential or logarithmic equation is fit to the data. Seeing Structure in Expressions A SSE A. Interpret the structure of expressions 2. Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x 4 y 4 as (x 2 ) 2 (y 2 ) 2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x 2 y 2 )(x 2 + y 2 ). B. Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems 3. Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression. c.

For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02) t, y = (0.97) t, y = (1.01) 12t, y = (1.2) t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay. A-SSE.A.2 Focus on polynomial, rational, or exponential expressions.
