This document provides an introduction to an Algebra 2 class. It outlines the challenging course material that will be covered, including matrices, polynomials, quadratic and polynomial functions. It emphasizes the prerequisites of being comfortable with fractions and solving linear equations. The expectations are to work hard, take responsibility for learning, ask questions, help others, and act with maturity. Extra credit options are described as opportunities to further learning through creative projects, not as ways to pass without understanding the material. Wisdom from Benjamin Franklin is shared about nurturing new ideas and knowledge for unlimited potential.
3. I will be the first to admit, some of the material covered in this class is going to be challenging. A large part of it will be somewhat abstract, (as in difficult to visualize or draw a picture of). Material
4. We will discuss such things as: Adding & Multiplying Matrices Material
5. We will discuss such things as: Adding & Multiplying Matrices Material
10. We will Graph and Solve Quadratic Functions Material
11. We will Graph and Solve Polynomial Functions Material
12. We will Graph and Solve Polynomial Functions Material
13. We will study several other topics as well but, there’s no need in upsetting or scaring you here. Material
14. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites I expect you to be extremely comfortable with manipulating, (add, subtract, multiply & divide) fractions! I will review such questions within the first couple of days, after that, any lengthy discussion of fractions will become an after-school activity. You should feel very comfortable solving such equations as follows:

17. Prerequisites are the things you should know before entering a class (situation). Prerequisites Solving and graphing basic linear equations will be reviewed. However, if this seems to give you much trouble, you will want to get in for extra help and get it under control rapidly. This is an Algebra 1 task.
