Textbook: Integrated Math 2, Houghton Mifflin
Math II + Bridge: This course is a rigorous, fast paced course for students who want to be on pace for AP Calculus. This course
covers concepts from Algebra I, Advanced Algebra, and Geometry. This is an integrated Common Core Course which focuses on
concepts as well as procedures, so students will be expected to demonstrate understanding of mathematics taught as well as how to
apply the mathematics to situations.
Course Outline
Expected in Math II+ (Prerequisite):
Math II+ This Year:
• Interpret the structure of expressions.
• Write expressions in equivalent forms
to solve problems.
• Create equations that describe
numbers or relationships.
• Solve equations and inequalities in
one variable.
• Use complex numbers in polynomial
identities and equations.
• Solve systems of equations
• Interpret functions that arise in
applications in terms of a context.
• Analyze functions using different
representations.
• Build a function that models a
relationship between two quantities.
• Build new functions from existing
functions.
• Construct and compare linear,
quadratic, and exponential models and
solve problems.
• Understand independence and
conditional probability and use them to
interpret data.
• Use the rules of probability to
compute probabilities of compound
events in a uniform probability model.
• Use probability to evaluate outcomes
of decisions.
• Extend the properties of exponents to
rational exponents.

Homework: No late work is accepted. Students who are absent can pick up their homework the next class and must be turned in the
class after that for full credit. Homework is graded on completion and effort (show work!).
Mr. Chan
Homework Quizzes: Homework quizzes should be expected every day after we go over homework. It will be based on
homework. There will be no make-ups for homework quizzes, You can miss a total of FOUR homework quizzes in the
semester with no penalty. After that, the homework quizzes will be marked as ZERO.
Quizzes: Will happen about every 3 or 4 classes to ensure that students are working towards their complete understanding of a unit,
which will be assessed in a test.
Tests: Students will not be able to retake tests. Students who are absent on the day of the test will take the test on the day they
return, with no grace period.
Cell Phone Policy: Students will have to adhere to school rules on cell phones. No cell phones are to be seen at any time in the
classroom unless otherwise instructed. Cell Phones that are seen out (including not being used on the desk) will be taken for the day
by the teacher until after school. Repeated violations will have the cell phone passed to the main office and further discipline.
Classroom Expectation:
-Be respectful of the teacher and peers at all times. We will return you the same courtesy.
-Be on time and be prepared (bring pencils, paper, etc.)
-Always give your best effort. We promise to give you ours.
Inappropriate and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. The following consequences will result:
1) Verbal Warning
2) Parental contact/ Talk after class/ Referral
3) Detention/ Parental Contact/ Referral
4) Removal from class/ Parent conference
Academic Dishonesty: Automatically removes all possible points from the assignment. School-wide rules are enforced.
Additional Help:
Help can be found by me during brunch in Room 3, as well as during lunch, and afterschool until about 4 or 5 o’clock. Specific
appointments and office hours can be made for students who ask for help. Additionally, I have a Youtube Channel with tutoritals
that will be implemented into our homework. You can find this channel at:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLauXIxNSl9K4NF7IobCR7Rtka_GQ_zEuu
(or search “Mr. Anthony Chan” on Youtube to find the channel)
Recommended Materials:
Notebook with folders (to hold papers), Calculator(Simple will do), Pencil, Eraser, your brain, and a can do attitude!
SPHS Mission Statement
South Pasadena High School is committed to developing students who demonstrate persistence, strive for accuracy and precision,
question and pose problems, apply past knowledge to new situations, think and communicate with clarity and precision, gather data/information,
and who can manage impulsiveness, listen to others with understanding and empathy, think flexibly, reflect on their thinking, create, imagine, and
innovate while taking responsible risks, find humor, and think independently.
