This year, I have got resolved to do a much ameliorate project at the interactive notebook inwards Algebra ii than final year. Last year, nosotros had 12 students inwards my entire schoolhouse who were enrolled inwards Algebra 2. This year, that reveal is simply nether 40. This is both exciting together with kinda terrifying. First of all, it agency that to a greater extent than students are prepared together with willing to accept Algebra 2. At the same time, my Algebra ii students this twelvemonth are greater inwards reveal together with much to a greater extent than varied inwards level. This presents many challenges. But, these are challenges I am excited to endeavour to meet.
Our root unit of measurement inwards Algebra ii is an introduction to functions, role notation, domain together with range, intercepts, maximums together with minimums, intervals of increasing together with decreasing, finding solutions, together with transformations. My finish is to create a foundation which I tin move create off of 1 time nosotros start linear functions. I am also working difficult to bear witness to my students that they are capable of doing Algebra ii grade work. Many of my students have got extremely depression confidence. We are also learning how to utilization the graphing calculator. This is the root sense whatever of my students have got had amongst a graphing calculator, together with I am working difficult to acquire inwards a positive one.
So far, my Algebra ii students are loving our interactive notebooks. They give cheers me on an (almost) daily terra firma for making Algebra ii visual, fun, together with easy. I have got about students who are complaining correct straightaway that Algebra ii is also easy. I told them that they simply had to wait. Before they knew it, nosotros would endure exploring logarithms, exponentials, conic sections, together with all kinds of other exciting mathematical relations. After going on together with on almost how excited I was almost everything nosotros were going to endure learning together with studying this year, 1 educatee asked, "Do you lot similar math?" I was a chip taken aback past times this question. Are at that spot math teachers who don't similar math? Of course, I similar math. I dear math! I eat, breath, together with slumber math.
You'll notice that I dear printing my foldables on colored paper. I think that notes taken on colored newspaper are simply to a greater extent than memorable than notes taken on plain, white re-create paper. My students frequently think which page inwards their notebooks they demand to reference past times what color the foldable was printed on. The newspaper I utilization the most is
Fireworx create colored paper. It's available from Amazon, comes inwards loads of colors, together with is priced rattling reasonably.
Astrobrights paper makes for the prettiest, brightest foldables, but it's a chip to a greater extent than pricey. So, I salve it for printing posters.
Link to download these files is at the halt of the post service equally always. :)

I have got already blogged almost the NAGS foldable I had my Algebra ii students create
here.

I withal haven't establish a ameliorate way to exercise differentiating betwixt function/not a role than this carte sort. I blogged almost this
final year.

We also created a Frayer Model for the discussion "function."

I stole this coordinate bird foldable from Ms. Haley together with her wonder
Journal Wizard blog! I think this is a big improvement over the coordinate bird foldable I did amongst my students final year. I created a template for this foldable which I have got linked to at the halt of this post.

Our notes over independent together with subject variables were less than exciting. Maybe adjacent twelvemonth I volition come upwards up amongst a carte sort or something. Hmm...

Independent together with Dependent Variable Notes |
Last year, my students had a TERRIBLE fourth dimension remembering the divergence betwixt domain together with range. This summer, at the amazing Common Core Training I received from the Oklahoma Geometry together with Algebra Project (OGAP), I was introduced to an amazing resource--
Shmoop. They have got amazing commentary for each together with every high schoolhouse mutual kernel math standard! I learned almost the DIXROY acronym from their commentary on F-IF.1.

Domain together with Range Notes - Interactive Notebook |
DIXROY stands for "Domain - Inputs - X-Coordinates together with Range - Outputs - Y-Coordinates."

I was able to re-use the domain/range notation foldable that I created final twelvemonth for my Algebra ii students. My students were VERY confused past times the dissimilar notations. I haven't yet figured out a way to innovate these notations without overwhelming my students. They recovered, eventually.

I downloaded the domain together with attain cards from
envelope template that Kathryn (
iisanumber.blogspot.com) posted before this summer. I downsized her template to the exact size needed to gibe the domain together with attain cards I linked to earlier.

The Cutest, Tiniest Envelope to Hold our Domain together with Range Practice Cards |
Then, I took inspiration 1 time over again from Ms. Haley at
interactive domain together with attain finder foldable.
 |
Domain together with Range Foldable (That sadly doesn't photograph well...) |
As you lot tin move see, this foldable perfectly holds the domain together with attain exercise cards from our handy-dandy envelope!
 |
The foldable is made to perfectly concur our domain together with attain exercise cards that are housed inwards the envelope. |
Students plication over the domain tabs to assist them determine the left-most together with right-most points on the graph. If the graph goes approaches negative or positive infinity, the students acquire out the flap opened upwards where it reads positive or negative infinity. I wanted my handling of domain together with attain to endure much to a greater extent than hands-on this year, together with I think this foldable does the trick!
After doing many, many cards together, I had students honor the domain together with attain of all 32 cards equally homework. They had to write the domain together with attain inwards both interval together with algebraic notation. (And, the discrete graphs had to have got their domain written inwards laid notation.) The adjacent day, I gave them an respond telephone substitution to utilization the depository fiscal establishment check their work.

The Domain together with Range Foldable inwards Action |
One of the primary affair my students demand to endure able to do on their Algebra ii EOI is to pull graphs. This foldable is an endeavour to innovate my students to the concepts of x-intercepts, y-intercepts, relative maximums, relative minimums, increasing intervals, decreasing intervals, roots, solutions, together with zeros.

Describing Characteristics of Graphs Foldable - Outside |
Because at that spot is together with therefore much data on this 1 foldable, this was a perfect chance to utilization COLOR WITH Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 PURPOSE. Each term was marked amongst a dissimilar color. And the corresponding percentage of the graph was marked amongst the same color. This is 1 of my favorite foldables that nosotros have got done this year!

I've posted about close-ups of the flaps if you'd similar to consider what I had my students write.

Last year, my Algebra ii students truly struggled amongst the concept of an inverse. So, this year, I decided to start talking almost inverses rattling early on inwards the schoolhouse year. This volition let us to revisit the concept over together with over equally nosotros explore dissimilar types of role inwards a much to a greater extent than inwards depth manner. By the fourth dimension the EOI rolls around, my students should no longer endure scared when they consider the discussion inverse!
This foldable was inspired past times
@druinok's post service from February.

Inverse of a Function Foldable - Outside |
I desire my students to endure able to honor the inverse if they are given a laid of points, a graph, or an equation. Since nosotros have got alone simply started exploring functions inwards general, the examples nosotros went through were quite simplistic. We volition explore much to a greater extent than complicated inverses equally the twelvemonth progresses!
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of my students were terrified when I told them that nosotros would endure learning almost inverses. By the halt of the lesson, they were amazed that inverses were truly quite easy.

I withal have got to figure out how I desire to innovate transformations to my Algebra ii students. That subject should halt our root unit. Hmm...
