Course Philosophy/Description

Algebra II continues the students’ study of advanced algebraic concepts including functions, polynomials, rational expressions,
systems of functions and inequalities, and matrices. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic,
algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis
will be placed on practical applications and modeling. Students extend their knowledge and understanding by solving open-
ended real-world problems and thinking critically through the use of high level tasks.

Students will be expected to demonstrate their knowledge in: utilizing essential algebraic concepts to perform calculations on
polynomial expression; performing operations with complex numbers and graphing complex numbers; solving and graphing
linear equations/inequalities and systems of linear equations/inequalities; solving, graphing, and interpreting the solutions of
quadratic functions; solving, graphing, and analyzing solutions of polynomial functions, including complex solutions;
manipulating rational expressions, solving rational equations, and graphing rational functions; solving logarithmic and
exponential equations; and performing operations on matrices and solving matrix equations.

ESL Framework
This ESL framework was designed to be used by bilingual, dual language, ESL and general education teachers. Bilingual and dual language programs
use the home language and a second language for instruction. ESL teachers and general education or bilingual teachers may use this document to
collaborate on unit and lesson planning to decide who will address certain components of the SLO and language objective. ESL teachers may use the
appropriate leveled language objective to build lessons for ELLs which reflects what is covered in the general education program. In this way, whether
it is a pull-out or push-in model, all teachers are working on the same Student Learning Objective connected to the Common Core standard. The design
of language objectives are based on the alignment of the World-Class Instructional Design Assessment (WIDA) Consortium’s English Language
Development (ELD) standards with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). WIDA’s ELD standards advance academic language development
across content areas ultimately leading to academic achievement for English learners. As English learners are progressing through the six developmental
linguistic stages, this framework will assist all teachers who work with English learners to appropriately identify the language needed to meet the
requirements of the content standard. At the same time, the language objectives recognize the cognitive demand required to complete educational tasks.
Even though listening and reading (receptive) skills differ from speaking and writing (expressive) skills across proficiency levels the cognitive function
should not be diminished. For example, an Entering Level One student only has the linguistic ability to respond in single words in English with
significant support from their home language. However, they could complete a Venn diagram with single words which demonstrates that they
understand how the elements compare and contrast with each other or they could respond with the support of their native language with assistance from
a teacher, para-professional, peer or a technology program.

Research about Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Structure teaching of mathematical concepts and skills around problems to be solved (Checkly, 1997; Wood & Sellars, 1996; Wood & Sellars, 1997)
Encourage students to work cooperatively with others (Johnson & Johnson, 1975; Davidson, 1990)
Use group problem-solving to stimulate students to apply their mathematical thinking skills (Artzt & Armour-Thomas, 1992)
Students interact in ways that support and challenge one another’s strategic thinking (Artzt, Armour-Thomas, & Curcio, 2008)
Activities structured in ways allowing students to explore, explain, extend, and evaluate their progress (National Research Council, 1999)
There are three critical components to effective mathematics instruction (Shellard & Moyer, 2002):
             Teaching for balanced mathematical understanding
             Developing children’s procedural literacy
             Promoting strategic competence through meaningful problem-solving investigations
Teachers should be:
             Demonstrating acceptance and recognition of students’ divergent ideas.
             Challenging students to think deeply about the problems they are solving, extending thinking beyond the solutions and algorithms
                required to solve the problem
             Influencing learning by asking challenging and interesting questions to accelerate students’ innate inquisitiveness and foster them to
                examine concepts further
             Projecting a positive attitude about mathematics and about students’ ability to “do” mathematics
Students should be:
             Actively engaging in “doing” mathematics
             Solving challenging problems
             Investigating meaningful real-world problems
             Making interdisciplinary connections
             Developing an understanding of mathematical knowledge required to “do” mathematics and connect the language of mathematical
                ideas with numerical representations
             Sharing mathematical ideas, discussing mathematics with one another, refining and critiquing each other’s ideas and understandings
             Communicating in pairs, small group, or whole group presentations
             Using multiple representations to communicate mathematical ideas
             Using connections between pictures, oral language, written symbols, manipulative models, and real-world situations
             Using technological resources and other 21st century skills to support and enhance mathematical understanding

Mathematics is not a stagnate field of textbook problems; rather, it is a dynamic way of constructing meaning about the world around us,
generating knowledge and understanding about the real world every day. Students should be metaphorically rolling up their sleeves and “doing
mathematics” themselves, not watching others do mathematics for them or in front of them. (Protheroe, 2007)
                                     Balanced Mathematics Instructional Model
Balanced math consists of three different learning opportunities; guided math, shared math, and independent math. Ensuring a balance of all three
approaches will build conceptual understanding, problem solving, computational fluency, and procedural fluency. Building a balanced mathematical
understanding is the focal point of developing mathematical proficiency. Students should frequently work on rigorous tasks, talk about the math,
explain their thinking, justify their answer or process, build models with graphs or charts or manipulatives, and use technology.
When balanced math is used in the classroom it provides students opportunities to:
      solve problems
      make connections between math concepts and real-life situations
      communicate mathematical ideas (orally, visually and in writing)
      choose appropriate materials to solve problems
      reflect and monitor their own understanding of the math concepts
      practice strategies to build procedural and conceptual confidence

                Teacher builds conceptual understanding by                                       Teacher and students practice mathematics
                modeling through demonstration, explicit                                         processes together through interactive
                instruction, and think alouds, as well as guiding                                activities, problem solving, and discussion.
                students as they practice math strategies and apply                              (whole group or small group instruction)
                problem solving strategies. (whole group or small
                group instruction)

                                                          Students practice math strategies independently to
                                                          build procedural and computational fluency. Teacher
                                                          assesses learning and reteaches as necessary. (whole

    Technology Operations and Concepts
         Create a personal digital portfolio which reflects personal and academic interests, achievements, and career aspirations by using a
           variety of digital tools and resources.
     Example: Students create personal digital portfolios for coursework using Google Sites, Evernote, WordPress, Edubugs, Weebly, etc.

    Communication and Collaboration
        Develop an innovative solution to a real world problem or issue in collaboration with peers and experts, and present ideas for
           feedback through social media or in an online community.
       Example: Use Google Classroom for real-time communication between teachers, students, and peers to complete assignments and
       discuss strategies for solving systems of equations.

    Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making
         Evaluate the strengths and limitations of emerging technologies and their impact on educational, career, personal or social needs.
        Example: Students use graphing calculators and graph paper to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of technology associated with
        solving simple systems of linear and quadratic equations in two variables.

    Computational Thinking: Programming
          Use a programming language to solve problems or accomplish a task (e.g., robotic functions, website designs, applications and
            games).
     Example: Students will create a set of instructions explaining how to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers using the commutative,
     associative and distributive properties.

                                                                                         Link: http://www.state.nj.us/education/cccs/2014/tech/

Career Ready Practices
 Career Ready Practices describe the career-ready skills that all educators in all content areas should seek to develop in their students. They are
 practices that have been linked to increase college, career, and life success. Career Ready Practices should be taught and reinforced in all career
 exploration and preparation programs with increasingly higher levels of complexity and expectation as a student advances through a program of
 study.

      CRP2. Apply appropriate academic and technical skills.
       Career-ready individuals readily access and use the knowledge and skills acquired through experience and education to be more productive.
       They make connections between abstract concepts with real-world applications, and they make correct insights about when it is appropriate
       to apply the use of an academic skill in a workplace situation
       Example: Students will apply prior knowledge when solving real world problems. Students will make sound judgments about the use of
       specific tools, such as algebra tiles, graphing calculators and technology to deepen their understanding of solving quadric equations.

      CRP4. Communicate clearly and effectively and with reason.
       Career-ready individuals communicate thoughts, ideas, and action plans with clarity, whether using written, verbal, and/or visual methods.
       They communicate in the workplace with clarity and purpose to make maximum use of their own and others’ time. They are excellent
       writers; they master conventions, word choice, and organization, and use effective tone and presentation skills to articulate ideas. They are
       skilled at interacting with others; they are active listeners and speak clearly and with purpose. Career-ready individuals think about the
       audience for their communication and prepare accordingly to ensure the desired outcome.
       Example: Students will communicate precisely using clear definitions and provide carefully formulated explanations when constructing
       arguments. Students will communicate and defend mathematical reasoning using objects, drawings, diagrams, and/or actions. Students
       will ask probing questions to clarify or improve arguments.

Career Ready Practices
      CRP8. Utilize critical thinking to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
       Career-ready individuals readily recognize problems in the workplace, understand the nature of the problem, and devise effective plans to
       solve the problem. They are aware of problems when they occur and take action quickly to address the problem; they thoughtfully
       investigate the root cause of the problem prior to introducing solutions. They carefully consider the options to solve the problem. Once a
       solution is agreed upon, they follow through to ensure the problem is solved, whether through their own actions or the actions of others.
       Example: Students will understand the meaning of a problem and look for entry points to its solution. They will analyze information,
       make conjectures, and plan a solution pathway to solve linear and quadratic equations in two variables.

      CRP12. Work productively in teams while using cultural global competence.
       Career-ready individuals positively contribute to every team, whether formal or informal. They apply an awareness of cultural difference to
       avoid barriers to productive and positive interaction. They find ways to increase the engagement and contribution of all team members.
       They plan and facilitate effective team meetings.
       Example: Students will work collaboratively in groups to solve mathematical tasks. Students will listen to or read the arguments of
       others and ask probing questions to clarify or improve arguments. They will be able to explain how to perform operations with complex
       numbers.
                                                                         http://www.state.nj.us/education/aps/cccs/career/CareerReadyPractices.pdf

Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Examples

                  Integrate Relevant Word Problems: Contextualize equations using word problems that reference student interests and
                   cultures.
                   Example: When learning about building functions in two variables, problems that relate to student interests such as music,
                   sports and art enable the students to understand and relate to the concept in a more meaningful way.

                  Everyone has a Voice: Create a classroom environment where students know that their contributions are expected
                   and valued.
                   Example: Norms for sharing are established that communicate a growth mindset for mathematics. All students are capable
                   of expressing mathematical thinking and contributing to the classroom community. Students learn new ways of looking at
                   problem solving by working with and listening to each other.

                  Run Problem Based Learning Scenarios: Encourage mathematical discourse among students by presenting problems
                   that are relevant to them, the school and /or the community.
                   Example: Using a Place Based Education (PBE) model, students explore math concepts such as systems of
                   equations while determining ways to address problems that are pertinent to their neighborhood, school or culture.

                  Encourage Student Leadership: Create an avenue for students to propose problem solving strategies and potential
                   projects.
                   Example: Students can learn to construct and compare linear, quadratic and exponential models by creating problems
                   together and deciding if the problems fit the necessary criteria. This experience will allow students to discuss and explore
                   their current level of understanding by applying the concepts to relevant real-life experiences.

                  Present New Concepts Using Student Vocabulary: Use student diction to capture attention and build understanding
                   before using academic terms.
                   Example: Teach math vocabulary in various modalities for students to remember. Use multi-modal activities, analogies, realia,
                   visual cues, graphic representations, gestures, pictures and cognates. Directly explain and model the idea of vocabulary words
                   having multiple meanings. Students can create the Word Wall with their definitions and examples to foster ownership.
