COURSE NAME: Algebra II Honors
CREDIT: 1
PREREQUISITE: Geometry or Honors Geometry
DESCRIPTION: Honors Algebra II is a strong applications based course. Students are expected to have retained a high percentage of the material from previous math course and to be prepared to use the knowledge. Students will also be expected to read the textbook and o do the "covering the reading" sections in order to be prepared for the daily lesson.

Topics covered include:
Variation
Matrices
Quadratic relations
Functions
Logarithms
Sequences and series
Statistics
Basic concepts in 3-space

HOMEWORK: There will be an assignment almost every night which will require reading as well as work problems. Most students will need to work approximately 30 minutes outside of class; however, those who work slowly will require more time.
TESTS: Tests generally cover an entire chapter and will occur approximately every two to three weeks.
SPECIAL SUPPLIES: A scientific calculator is required; however, a graphing calculator comparable to the TI83 is strongly suggested.
NOTES: Difference between regular and Honors Algebra II - The honors class requires a faster pace, as more material is covered at greater depth than in the regular class.
