City of Angels School Independent Study Los Angeles Unified School District INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE CC Algebra 2A Course ID #310343 (CCAA Field Test Version) Big Ideas Math This course is the first semester of Common Core Algebra 2, fulfills one half of three years in the B requirement (for A-G course prerequisites for entering the UC and CSU) and is designed specifically for independent study. Content Material covered in this course is in line with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Students will be expected to master the following standards for practice (as in all math courses) and conceptual categories (for this course only): Standards for Mathematical Practice 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (MP.1) 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (MP.2) 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (MP.3) 4. Model with mathematics. (MP.4) 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. (MP.5) 6. Attend to precision. (MP.6) 7. Look for and make use of structure. (MP.7) 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (MP.8) For a complete listing of the state Common Core Standards in detail, you can download a copy from: http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc/.

School Computers Student computers at our school sites are loaded with various software programs including Thinkwell a series of lectures on each of the concepts covered in Algebra 1AB. Students should use the TW code listed on each assignment to access the appropriate video for that lesson. Continued on next page
Homework Students should expect to work two hours a day, five days a week on assignments for this course. Work submitted should be labeled with student name, course name, and assignment/week number. Students are expected to show all work and check odd-numbered answers using the answer key in the back of the book. Grades Final course grades will be based on the following matrix: Homework 40% Weekly 30% Assessments Chapter 25% Tests Final Exam 5% Weekly Assignments will be graded based on the following standard breakdown for work complete/correct: A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F 0-59% Weekly Assessments will be graded on the following criteria: Accuracy (Did you get the 40% right answer?) Precision (Are you using 30% proper academic and content vocabulary terms?) Reason (Are you able to 30% justify each step?)
