Pre-Algebra 2

Connected Math Program (CMP4)

Unit 2: Comparing and Scaling - Students will use ratio, rates, and percents to solve a variety of problems.

Unit 3: What Do You Expect? - Students will work on probability and expected value to predict what will happen over a given timespan.

Unit 4: Variables and Patterns - Students will work on graphing and solving equations with unknowns.

Homework

Homework will be assigned nightly Monday through Friday. 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. Study guides will be provided before each test. Students are expected to study at home each night leading up to a test. There will also be opportunities in class to review for a test.

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!
