Integrated Algebra 2/Trigonometry R/CT 3315, 3325 Grades 10 or 11 Prerequisite: Completion of Geometry R/H/CT. Full year - 1 credit The New York State Integrated Algebra 2/Trigonometry curriculum content for this class includes topics such as quadratic and linear equations, factoring polynomial expressions, simplify complex fractional expressions, geometric and arithmetic sequences, transformational properties, trigonometry with applications, statistical measures of dispersions, characteristics of normal distributions, and theoretical probabilities. A graphing calculator (TI84+) will be used extensively in this course. This class will prepare students to take the Integrated Algebra 2/Trigonometry Regents examination. The co-taught mathematics course (3325) also prepares students for the NYS Algebra 2/Trigonometry Regents as they will work closely with both the mathematics and special education teachers. Additional instructional support will be recommended by the faculty as needed. Based upon departmental consideration, in conjunction with the Guidance Department and parents, student will be assigned to Integrated Algebra 2/Trigonometry Support. This class, which will meet every-other day, will generate a Pass/Fail grade and will earn a ½ elective class credit. The goal of the course is to provide identified students with additional instruction to promote better mathematical understanding. General Department Philosophy The Garden City Mathematics Department presents courses that align with either the New York State Regents curriculum or the College Board s Advanced Placement curriculum. In either case, the course material prepared by the Department (Grades 6 12) is fully consistent with these standards. In particular, our Advanced Placement syllabi have been approved by the College Board. Our Regents courses address the five NYS content strands as well as the five process strands. Our instructional activities are created to promote written and verbal mathematical communication and critical thinking skills that employ accurate mathematical ideas. The Department develops student assessments that are also consistent with the New York State and/or College Board assessment in both style and content. The scoring rubrics employed by the Department are modeled after the particular associated scoring guides. Additional information about the NYS Mathematics program can be found at http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/mst/math.html and Advanced Placement program at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com. Members of the Department encourage their students to explore, discover and question the many fundamental concepts developed within each courses. The primary objective is to engage our students in lessons that are meaningful, inspiring and enjoyable and promote a greater interest in mathematics at the post secondary level and beyond. Technology applications, such as calculator usage, are incorporated as developmentally appropriate and as specified by the NYS and/or College Board curriculum. The Department wants each student to realize that they can make a contribution to their class and that others can benefit from their input. The Department wants all students to maximize their mathematical potential as we move through the challenging curriculum and prepare to master all course requirements.
