To my students,

Many of the concepts taught in Algebra 1 were used minimally in Geometry. The key concepts listed below are pre-requisite (meaning you are expected to have learned and mastered them in Algebra 1). So, your Algebra 2 teacher will expect you to be proficient using these skills.

The worksheets at the bottom of this page are recommended as continued practice, until you receive your REQUIRED summer packet for Calc-Path Algebra 2 at registration in August. Answer keys are provided with the worksheets so that you can verify your answers. These are NOT required assignments, but they are strongly encouraged for you to ensure a successful year in Algebra 2.

You should take a little time over the summer to brush-up on these key pre-requisite skills. You can easily find YouTube videos on these concepts.

I also do private tutoring over the summer for pay. Email me if you are interested in setting up a few sessions, or ongoing summer sessions.

Critical Algebra 1 Concepts (written as learning targets)

I can graph linear equations from slope-intercept form.

I can write linear equations, when given two points, a point & a slope, etc.

Systems of Linear Equations

I can solve linear systems by graphing.

I can solve linear systems by elimination.

I can solve linear systems by substitution.

Exponents

I can simplify exponential expressions using the rules of exponents. (easier, more difficult)

Polynomials Expressions

I can simplify polynomial expressions, (add/subtract and multiply).

Quadratics

I can simplify factor polynomial expressions.

I can solve quadratic equations by factoring.

I can solve quadratic equations using the Quadratic Formula.

Radical Expressions

I can add/subtract radical expressions.

I can multiply/divide (rationalize the denominator as needed) radical expressions.
