I&#8217;m not even teaching High School currently, as I&#8217;m taking a couple of years to attend grad school. While I&#8217;m doing some teaching, it&#8217;s been as a TA for Calculus 1, certainly not for Algebra 2. Even so, I&#8217;ve still spent a lot of time thinking about Algebra 2 curriculum over the past year, and had a lot of conversations about it with <a href=\"https:\/\/mathequalslove.blogspot.com\/\">Sarah<\/a>, as she is has been teaching Algebra 2 since last August. It turns out, even after taking some time away, my passion is still for high school math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the ideas I&#8217;ve had for the function of these notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They&#8217;re aiming to meet the <a href=\"https:\/\/sde.ok.gov\/standards-and-assessments-oklahoma-mathematics\">Oklahoma Academic Standards<\/a>, though in places they step back to strengthen the conceptual foundation, and in others they go beyond the standards. Eventually I&#8217;ll produce an alignment document to explain all the links.<\/li><li>This is not a complete curriculum, but I see it functioning as a &#8220;skeleton&#8221; on which a complete curriculum could be built.<\/li><li>The notes focus almost purely on the mathematics, not on &#8220;real world&#8221;  applications (with a few exceptions in statistics topics). This is not because these are unimportant; on the contrary, they are vital. But I believe these are better addressed using methods other that pre-prepared notes.<\/li><li>The intent is that the notes would be hole-punched and kept in a binder. This means if a teacher doesn&#8217;t like how I&#8217;ve done something, they can change it. Remove the parts you don&#8217;t like. If you don&#8217;t think there are enough examples, add more.<\/li><li>Teachers can incorporate the notes and examples as they wish into their lessons. While textbooks give they answers to examples away from the start, with fill-in-the-blanks, the teacher can choose at what point in the class discussion they make the correct answers known.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might remember that I was working on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primefactorisation.com\/blog\/category\/mr-carters-algebra-2-practice-book\/\">book of Algebra 2 practice questions<\/a>. That&#8217;s still ongoing, but it&#8217;s been overtaken somewhat by these notes. But that&#8217;s okay, because I see these as two aspects of the same long-term project. Having the notes planned out should make planning questions a lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If all of this sounds good, here&#8217;s the great news: I&#8217;m going release the notes as I work on them. And while they&#8217;re still just a first draft at this point, that first draft is entirely done, and hopefully in a usable form for the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download them here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/primefactorisation.com\/short\/a2note01\">Algebra 2 Notes v. 0.1<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/primefactorisation.com\/short\/a2note01k\">Algebra 2 Notes Answer Key v. 0.1<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: version 0.3 of these notes are out now.
