Math

Taught by Mrs. Basya Berg

11th grade Algebra is the mathematical study of how to understand and represent problems, make generalizations about patterns, and use mathematical tools to communicate. Trigonometry is the branch of math that studies triangles, and the relationships between their sides and angles. In this course, students will further strengthen their skills, preparing them for calculus or other college level math work. With an emphasis on problem solving and everyday applications, students’ work will focus on the conceptual foundations of mathematics.

Goals

Curriculum

The 11th grade Advanced Algebra curriculum at Bnos Yaakov has been developed in accordance with both the standards set by the New York State Department of Education as well as by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

We will also begin to prepare for taking the SAT exams by practicing the types of questions commonly found on the test. This type of review will be incorporated into both the classroom lessons and homework assignments.

A major segment of the course will involve having the girls prepare a portfolio of in-depth mathematical investigations and projects. In addition, there will be frequent homework assignments and quizzes, as well as a major exam each semester.
