LAP Chapter 1 Algebra 2
In this chapter the student
will review the essential skills and concepts in algebraic and statistical
settings. The students will learn
1.
represent and
interpret data
2.
the order of
operations
3.
the sets and properties
of real numbers
4.
solve equations
and inequalities
5.
solve equations
and inequalities with absolute values
6.
graph solution
sets
8/12 The
student will learn classroom policies and procedures, and he will receive the
student handbook. HOMEWORK: What are your
feelings towards math—positive or negative?
What has made your math teachers good/bad? What is the best piece of advice you can give
me on how to teach you? (On a separate piece of paper)
8/13 The
student will learn the description of the stem and leaf plot, line plot and
other data representing graphs. He will
then define central tendencies through mean, median, and mode. After collecting data from the class, the student
will plot and describe the central tendencies of this information. HOMEWORK:
p.23-25 #14—17, 19, 23—27
8/16 The
student will learn the number sets and place numbers in the appropriate
set. The student will also evaluate
expressions after learning the order of operations. HOMEWORK:
p.11#38—43 all, p.17#21—30 multiples of 3, 32—37 all, and p.8 Exploration
8/17 The
student will learn the properties of real numbers and he use them to simplify
expressions. The students will further
enhance their knowledge of the properties by playing a game of memory. HOMEWORK:
p.17-18#38—48 all, 53—57 odd, 58, 64—66 all and show that 
for all values of 
—Justify
each step using the properties of addition and multiplication.
8/18 The
student will translate verbal expressions into algebraic expression and vice
versa. He will also solve equation for a
value or variable using the properties learned the day before. HOMEWORK: p.31-33#19—24, 35, 36, 40,
45, 48, 52—54, 64—66 and
define
absolute value with words and by picture.

8/19 The
student will review the definition of absolute value, and he will then use the
definition and the properties of real numbers to solve equations containing an
absolute value. HOMEWORK: p.41-42#30—34, 38—41, 44, 53—56 and prepare for
tomorrow’s quiz.
8/20 The
student will take a quiz over the learned material. HOMEWORK:
Do the graphing calculator activity on pages 35 & 36.
8/21 The
student will review the definitions of the inequalities, and he will then solve
inequalities and graph the solution sets on a number line. HOMEWORK:
p.47-48 #27—29, 34—37, 39, 42, 46—48; tell whether this statement is true or
false: Multiplying both sides of an
inequality by the same number always produces an equivalent inequality. Then justify your answer. Explain the difference between solving 
and

8/22 The
student will define and graph compound inequalities and he will then learn to
solve inequalities containing absolute values.
HOMEWORK: p.53#18—26, 34—38,
43—45; how are absolute value inequalities containing a “<” or “
” symbol solved differently from those containing a “>” or
“
”?

8/24 The
student will display his knowledge on a test.
HOMEWORK: Enjoy the weekend!
