Cooperative Learning And Algebra 2

Algebra 2 just got engaging! Based on the same successful formula as her other popular high school math books, Becky now offers you Algebra 2 set to Kagan's full engagement structures. Your students will have fun, yes fun, as they practice math skills using RallyCoach, Sage-N-Scribe, Quiz-Quiz-Trade, and other interactive structures. More interaction means more learning for everyone. This book is not just a collection of activities. It's a full Algebra 2 curriculum with lessons and activities and projectable pages. Chapters cover: Polynomials and Polynomial Functions, Rational Expressions and Functions, Radical Expressions and Functions, Exponential Functions, Logarithmic Functions, Piecewise and Absolute Functions, Trigonometry, and Sequences and Series.

In this book, master teacher, trainer, and celebrated math author Becky Bride will show you step-by-step, activity-by-activity, and lesson-by-lesson how she used cooperative learning structures to help her students succeed with algebra year after year. When the power of student-to-student interaction is unleashed in algebra, students enjoy learning more and the abstract algebraic concepts become more concrete and understandable.

This rich resource of cooperative-learning activities in algebra will give you just what you need to meet NCTM standards and learning outcomes. Along with step-by-step procedures, suggested materials, a time frame for activities, and notes on effective group strategies, you'll find teacher directions and worksheets for each student group.
