Algebra 2 (G11)

Students are not required to use a personal mobile phone, tablet, or computer during class. Paper-and-pencil mathematics remains an important part of this course.

Technology and approved calculators will be used when they improve mathematical understanding or when specifically authorized by the teacher.

1. IN-CLASS PRACTICE — 15%

Students will complete increasingly challenging mathematical problems during class.

Students are expected to:

Maintain organized notes.
Show complete mathematical work.
Use correct mathematical notation.
Analyze equations, functions, tables, and graphs.
Explain mathematical reasoning when required.
Complete and submit work by established deadlines.

2. HOMEWORK & IXL PRACTICE — 15%

Homework may include:

Big Ideas Math
IXL
Teacher-assigned practice
Cumulative review
Preparation for upcoming assessments

Students should use homework to identify what they do and do not understand before taking a quiz or test.

Students should keep written solutions in their mathematics notebook or binder.

3. QUIZZES — 20%

Quizzes will measure students' ability to apply recently learned concepts independently.

They may include:

Equations and inequalities
Functions
Graphs and tables
Mathematical vocabulary
Algebraic manipulation
Modeling and applications
Previously learned concepts

4. MAJOR ASSESSMENTS — 50%

Major assessments may include:

Chapter Tests
District Topic Tests
Cumulative Tests
Mid-Year Assessments
Teacher-created comprehensive assessments

Algebra 2 is cumulative. Students should expect previously learned skills to reappear throughout the course.

DEADLINES & MISSING WORK

Students are responsible for monitoring Schoology and completing assignments by their deadlines.

Repeated missing or incomplete assignments may result in parent/guardian contact, an academic conference, intervention, or other appropriate action.

ALGEBRA 2 GOAL

Students are expected to move beyond memorizing procedures and develop the ability to analyze functions, connect equations with tables and graphs, model real situations, and solve multi-step problems independently.

ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS

All online assignments will be posted through Schoology.

Students will take notes in every class.
Students must bring to class: a pencil, paper (graphing paper is recommended), and a calculator (scientific).
All notes must be kept in a binder.
Notebook-Check will be a grade and will count as in-class work.

CLASSwork RULES

Students will take notes in every class.
Students are responsible for writing the work of all problems done in the Big Ideas Math online homework.
