<p>I'm working with some students on Algebra II this summer to get them ready for next year>>They're getting a preview for next year's Algebra II class. They're all honors, but not at a gifted level or anything, so the curriculum can't be anything too crazy...We're meeting four times (for 2.5 hours each time) over the summer. The problem arises when i have to decide what topics to cover during those 4 sessions. Right now...
1st) systems of equations/sequences and series
2nd) Logs/exponents
3rd) (?)
4th) Conics
I'm trying to decide amongst Basic Triginometry (which their class covered much of already), Probability, or miscellanious topics (such as inverse,direct variation) and do a little practice test taking...
Just curious what topic(s) i should cover. If i'm missing one important one, please fill me in...
Thanks in advance</p>
<p>well maybe you could give them a general function analysis, such as how h, k and a affect ANY Function, either that or you might want to consider Permutations and Combinations as they are both fairly easy, yet really help you out with alot of things and while ur at it, give em an idea on pascals triangle or something (or maybe binomial Theory;thought it might be too complex) as it REALLY clears things out that are taught at the begining of alg2 (trust me...it does).</p>
<p>Ps: Dont take anything for granted thought, as this is ONLY my opinion, tell me what u think though</p>
<p>Good idea...i was really planning on working with a little binomial theorem...i didn't even make the connection about using it to expand binomials. I worked a lot on probability this past year so i'm used to using it to find probabilities. Good connection tho, thanks</p>
<p>any other ideas?</p>
<p>hmmmmm....lets see....i ll think of something else then tell u, since i have to study ALG II Anyways (finals), i ll probably find something</p>
