About

A comprehensive deep-dive into polynomials! Manipulating polynomials is the basis for Algebra II and more harder subjects, so I want to make sure you understand this concept well!

Prerequisites:
You would benefit most from this session if you are familiar with Algebra I skills (solving equations, expanding expressions, etc...)

Session Structure:
Each week, we will have a 60-minute class. We will discuss last week's homework for around 15 minutes, and then we will jump into the content. For the main bulk of the class, we will:
- Cover material,
- Answer FAQs about the topic,
- Review/link back to previous material.
- Work on practice problems

Remaining time would be left for Q&A, homework help, or more practice problems.

Note: If you are late and you haven't been let into the Zoom meeting, please send a message in the group chat or direct-message me so I will remember to let you in!

Weekly Homework:
Each week I will send you a google document or a PDF (or any version of the file you prefer) with around 5 practice problems for you to do.

I understand you would be quite busy and I don't want to stress you out, so its not a requirement to do any of these homework questions. However, doing some problems in your spare time can help you solidify your knowledge.

If you didn't have a chance to do the homework problems, that's ok! We will go over it in the beginning of class for a few minutes.

Series Structure:
We will cover a lot of topics for Algebra II.

If you would like to cover a topic not listed here or if you think a topic should be removed, please message me in the group chat! If others support the change in the course structure, I will change the series accordingly. Otherwise, I might use your request for the extension class.

Polynomial Introduction
✔ 1. What are polynomials, and why do we care?
✔ 2. Polynomial Arithmetic
✔ 3. Polynomial Division
✔ 4. Review + Systems of Equations
✔ 5. Optional Review Session (45 mins)

CHRISTMAS BREAK

Quadratics Deep-dive
✔ 6. Quadratics and their graphs
7. Factoring Quadratics for Roots
8. The Quadratic Formula

I will add more once I get to know you and what topics you are most interested in!

What to Bring:
Bring some pen and paper, because we will be working through some practice problems! It would also be great to have a calculator unless you want to exercise your mental arithmetic.
