Algebra II Scope and Sequence Aligned to SATEC Resources (DRAFT)

This Algebra II scope and sequence is aligned to 2003 classroom materials from the San Antonio Technology in Education Coalition. The scope and sequence has been aligned to the revised 2005 TEKS, but the classroom materials have not been updated since 2003.

Suggested Scope and Sequence

Foundations for Functions (pdf 88kb)

The foundations of functions unit will build on the concept of functions taught in Algebra I and will focus on addressing the foundation concepts such as parameter changes, domain and range, and independent/dependent variables and connections among multiple representations. These concepts will be revisited in the study of each function covered in Algebra II. Suggested time: 4 weeks.

Linear Functions (pdf 80kb)

This unit includes linear equations, inequalities, and systems. There should be an emphasis on the connection between the 5 representations: graph, table, problem situation, pictorial, symbolic. Within this unit, connections to foundations for functions and how all functions have same traits should be made. Suggested time: 3–4 weeks.

Quadratic Functions (pdf 92kb)

Includes equation, inequalities, and systems. Emphasis on the connection between the 5 representations: graph, table, problem situation, pictorial, symbolic. Connections to foundations for functions and how all functions have same traits. Suggested time: 7–8 weeks.

Square Root Functions (pdf 84kb)

This unit includes equations, inequalities, and systems. There should be an emphasis on the connection between the 5 representations: graph, table, problem situation, pictorial, symbolic. Within this unit, connections to foundations for functions and how all functions have same traits should be made. Suggested time: 2–3 weeks.

Rational Functions (pdf 84kb)

This unit includes equations, inequalities, and systems. There should be an emphasis on the connection between the 5 representations: graph, table, problem situation, pictorial, symbolic. Within this unit, connections to foundations for functions and how all functions have same traits should be made. Suggested time: 3 weeks.

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (pdf 88kb)

This unit includes equations, inequalities, and systems. There should be an emphasis on the connection between the 5 representations: graph, table, problem situation, pictorial, symbolic. Within this unit, connections to foundations for functions and how all functions have same traits should be made. Make explicit connections between exponential and log functions as inverse functions. Suggested time: 6–7 weeks.

Conics (pdf 68kb)

Although much of the focus in Algebra II is on functions, conics, as relations, are also critical. This unit will show the relationship between the algebra and geometry representations of conics as well as how parameter changes in equations for conics are connected to parameter changes of functions. Suggested time: 4–5 weeks.
