Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

 Hello Algebra 2 Students! 


Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! My name is Mrs. Kamenar and I will be working with you during your Algebra 2 class this year. This year, I am starting my 19th year teaching math and computer science at Waukesha North. This year I will be teaching Algebra 2 Math, App Development 1, AP Computer Science Principles, Programming the Web 1, and Yearbook. In addition to teaching, I am also the head women's cross-country coach and yearbook advisor. I hope that everyone was able to find some time to relax this summer. My summer included a few camping trips with my family, playing with my kids, hiking, running, and playing with my dog Ranger.

My goal is to keep you up to date with what's going on in the classroom through this blog. Between the blog and our class schedule of events that will be posted on our BlackBoard class website, it is my hope that all students and parents will be informed about what's going on in the classroom whether we are learning virtually or face-to-face.

Where Can Students Find Everything?

One of the first things to keep in mind is that all of our class material will be found through our Blackboard class website.  This site will contain links to our content, assignments, and other resources.

Topic 1: Arithmetic and Geometric Sequence and Series

We will dive right into our learning of topic one right on the first day of school.  We will talk about different types of functions: linear, exponential, and quadratic.  We will also make connections between these functions to arithmetic sequences.




School Schedule

Here is the schedule we will be following for the year.  Students who would like to get some extra help are able to come in during our JIT homeroom sessions that will take place Wednesday through Friday.

Thought for the Week   Modified Schedule for the Week.  As a reminder, Freshmen and Sophomores will complete the ACT Secure and Juniors will complete the ACT on Tuesday, April 9th.  This will lead to a modified schedule for the rest of the week.  Monday will be a "Tuesday"-style schedule.  On Tuesday, we will complete standardized testing.  The rest of the week will proceed as scheduled. Topic 16: Trigonometric Functions On Monday of this week, we will take a brief break from our topic 16 study to focus on some tips and tricks for completing the math portion of the ACT.  Students will be encouraged to practice working with the Desmos calculator, which has been built-in to the online version of the ACT.  We will also review some important concepts and talk about how to narrow down our answer choices. For the rest of the week, we will take a look at "Exploring Tangents" and start reviewing for our summative assessment.

   Thought for the Week Topic 16: Trigonometric Functions As we return from spring break, we will spend a little bit of time reviewing concepts related to right triangles.  We will practice solving for missing sides and missing angle measurements using right triangle patterns.  We will then move on to a more in-depth look at the sine and cosine functions.  At the end of the week, we will spend some time talking about how we can modify the sine and cosine functions with transformations.
