Unit 1: Functions, Equations, Absolute Value and Inequalities 15 days of instruction plus assessment time- 3.5 weeks
Teacher Note: This unit is designed as a review and extension of material covered in the PreAP Algebra I and PreAP Geometry Course. Discussion with previous teachers about how much of the curriculum was actually covered and concepts that were not well received by students is vital to planning the time for this unit. The teacher needs to go to the Quality Core website and download Quality Core Alg II Unit 2 Linear Equations and Inequalities for use in this unit and go to the NMSI website and download all of the lessons for this unit. A graphing calculator is needed for many of the lessons in this unit. NMSI’s Laying the Foundation Lesson: Literal Equations (1 day) Teacher Note: For #1 the students need access to formulas. You could give them the Quality Core reference sheet so that the formulas are not holding them back from what we really want them to do and that is to be able to manipulate equations to solve for specific variables. This would be a great 1st or 2nd day activity. ** Checkpoint Unit 1 1,2,3 can be used with this lesson.

NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lesson: Introducing Interval Notation (.5 days) Teacher Note: Provides a review of inequalities and their graphs. Students should understand the concepts of and “increasing”, “decreasing”, and “constant” function. Introduces the concept of + and – infinity. This lesson takes students from the inequality way of writing an interval to the interval notation and ties the graph on the number line to both. Answers to Quality core tests samples are both in inequality notation and interval notation. The committee believes that this is a standard that should have been left in Algebra II and is a great review of Algebra I.

Quality Core Alg II Unit 3 What is a Matrix- Really? (Entire Unit) (6 days) Teacher Notes: Students have probably not been introduced to matrices until now. Adding, Subtracting and multiplying by a scalar is simple and could be done in one day (B-5 – D-6). Multiplying matrices will take two days (E-1 – F-7) one day for practice and another for application. This unit does a good job with application. Solving Matrices Equations requires the discussion of the identity matrix and determinant. This unit goes into great detail about students discovering the pattern for the inverse matrix by using the identity matrix. There may not be time for this and you may need a direct approach to finding determinants and inverse matrices. You might want to skip H and K if you are worried about time. The key to this concept is the application of a matrix to solve a problem. This is where the technology comes in to save on time. Students need to know how to solve a 3 variable equation by hand, but do not need to spend a great deal of time on this. The connection of how to solve a 3 variable equation using matrices is very important. Quality Core put the solving 3 variable equations in the graphing calculator part of their test. There is not enough graphing calculator practice problems and I would find another source, textbook or google it, to obtain some more. There is no mention of row reduction or row echelon form in either CCSS or QC. (3 or 4 days)

Teacher Led Discussion --Polynomials end behavior and roots (4 days) Teacher Note: This part of the course is where students discover how polynomials act due to the highest power and the leading coefficient. Long or synthetic division is used to break down polynomials in order to find factors/roots in order to make a rough sketch of the polynomial. Use the rational root theorem to help you decide what numbers might be roots to use in the synthetic/long division. Look at graphs of polynomials and if there are not as many roots as the highest degree, then there must be pairs of imaginary roots. The discussion of double roots will probably be a part of this discussion. The connection about how many maxima and minimum and the highest power is also an outcome of this discussion.

NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lesson: Independence (1.5 days) Teacher Note: Students investigate conditional probabilities from a two-way table and to use these probabilities to determine if two events are independent. Mathematical notation used in probability is introduced. Students make decisions about data by analyzing the conditional probabilities associated with the information about the survivors of the Titanic.

NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lesson: Probability Using Sample Spaces, Permutations, and Combinations (1.5 days) Teacher Note: Students are introduced to permutations and combinations as a way to do the basic counting principle for a large sample space. Students use the combinations and permutations to determine how many favorable outcomes are possible and to compute the probability of a chance event. Students use a two-way frequency table to get information in this lesson. If students have not been exposed to the NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lesson Family Fun (Middle Grades), they may need to work through this before doing this lesson. ** Checkpoint Unit 7 #1 can be used as a culmination for this unit.

NMSI’s Laying the Foundation lessons: Introduction to Trigonometric Ratios with Special Right Triangles (1 day) Teacher Note: Students will develop the unit circle. Students should be familiar with special right triangles and six trig ratios. Arc length formula can be used to introduce radians in this lesson if desired. Good for developing the unit circle. The beginning of this may have been introduced in Geometry. There will be additional resources in the dropbox to support this concept.
