ALGEBRA 2 CLASS:
Overview:
This class will cover most of the important concepts, theorems, and formulas needed for competition algebra 2 and will review algebra 1. Every new technique and topic will be reinforced with guided testing and interactive practice sessions, and advanced topics that are needed for geometry such as proof writing and logic will be covered. Everything learned in this class will be related to real world examples, as the ultimate goal of this class is to establish as strong of a conceptual understanding as possible.
Class information:
Classes : 11
Class duration : 1-1.5 hours
Class timings : TBD
Class format : Zoom meetings
Class requirements : Algebra 1 completed, preferably geometry completed as well. Basic understanding of some algebra, and must have either a notebook and pencil or notability on an ipad to participate in class discussion. Beginning and ending diagnostic tests will need to be submitted to the instructor to assess growth accurately.
CURRICULUM:
This class will be a review of basic algebra one problem solving techniques and topics from geometry that are pertinent to algebra 2 class.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding matrices, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding logarithms and exponential operations, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding polynomials, the rational root theorem, vietas formulas, and other polynomial facts. And, several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding the binomial theorem, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding conic sections, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will elaborate on characteristics of conic sections, and some real world examples and explanations. This class will also focus on recognizing different types of conic sections for problem solving.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding sequences and series, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding combinatorics, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future.
This class will cover most important facts, formulas, and theorems regarding the probability, and several guided competition practice problems, sourced from AMC / Mu Alpha Theta. Real world examples will be given to establish a strong conceptual understanding of any math problems that come up in the future. This class is more advanced than the others, and in the future it might be recommended to take our combinatorics/probability mini course (coming soon)
This class will be a wrap-up class where we will review all the topics covered in the previous 1o classes, and all the handouts will be provided here. A truncated timed test will also be taken to measure growth and test how much students learned.
