"Fill In The Blank"

We've been plannin' this weekend for a week and a half
Hope you ain't thinkin' that we're movin' too fast
This trip can be whatever you want it to
I'll pick where we go and you can pick what we do
We could
In the water, in the truck
On a blanket 'til the sun comes up
With each other on the river bank
Yeah I'll leave it up to you, baby fill in the blank
I know a little spot thirty miles outta town
We can do what we want, won't be nobody around
I love hanging with your friends and your family too
But there's some things that only two people should do
We could
In the water, in the truck
On a blanket 'til the sun comes up
With each other on the river bank
Yeah I'll leave it up to you, baby fill in the blank
We could
In the water, in the truck
On a blanket 'til the sun comes up
With each other on the river bank
Yeah I'll leave it up to you, baby
We could
To some music real slow
'Til we can't no more
If the clouds roll in we could, in the rain
Yeah I'll leave it up to you, baby fill in the blank
Yeah the options are endless, baby fill in the blank
Oh Yeah

Here you are, perusing a blog on the essentials of Algebra II. You’ll find here, as Joe Friday (star of the old Dragnet series) said, “The facts, ma’am, just the facts.” For those of you too young to remember Dragnet, just think of this essentials blog as being the Twitter version - not too detailed but with all the necessary information. In this blog, you find the information you need with enough examples to show you the processes, but not a bunch of nitty-gritty details that tend to get in the way.

A blog on Algebra II isn’t a romance novel (although I do love math), and it isn’t science fiction. You could think of this blog as a cross between a travel guide and a mathematical laboratory manual. How do travel and math go together? Let me try some situations that may fit:

✓ You just finished working through Algebra I and feel eager to embark on a new adventure.
✓ You haven’t worked with algebra in a while, but math has always been your strength, so you think that a little prepping with some basic concepts will bring you up to speed.
✓ You’re helping a friend or family member with Algebra II and want just the most necessary information - no frills or extra side-trips.

Even though I’ve pared the material in this blog down to the basics, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that other math areas are what drive Algebra II. Algebra is the passport to studying calculus, trigonometry, number theory, geometry, and all sorts of good mathematics. Algebra is basic, and the algebra you find here will help you grow your skills and knowledge so you can do well in math courses and possibly pursue other math topics.
