Pre-Algebra 2

Connected Math Program (CMP4)

Unit 1: Points of Rational - Students will focus on collecting, organizing, displaying and analyzing data.

Unit 2: Data About Us - Students will focus on analyzing data using multiple visual representations and numeric measures of central tendency.

Unit 3: Comparing and Scaling - Students will use ratio, rates, and percents to solve a variety of problems.

Unit 4: How likely is it? - Students will work on probability and expected value to predict what will happen over a given timespan.

Homework

Homework will be assigned periodically.  The main purpose of the homework is to practice recently learned and previous skills.  Students should be able to complete their homework independently.  If your child is having trouble with any problems on the homework, it is okay to allow them to leave those questions blank, but we encourage them to at least try it out!  This way, we can see what they struggled with and remediate the skill at school.  Students can then complete the homework once they understand the skill.

Assessments

Students will be assessed through tests and quizzes.  There will be opportunities in class to review for a test and students may use their math resource tools and prior classwork when completing assessments.

Calculator

This year we will be using the TI-15 calculator!  Students will be able to take their calculator home, but they will be responsible for bringing it back to school!
