Accelerated Algebra II Honors

• The course involves a review of Accelerated
  Algebra I concepts, followed by the instruction
  of more difficult algebraic topics that are
  necessary for the study of higher-level math
  courses such as Honors Pre Calculus, AP
  Statistics and AP Calculus.

3
Tests/Quizzes

• There is typically a review before a test or
  quiz.
• Students know about tests and quizzes about a
  week in advance. (On the board)
• If they are absent on the day of the review, they
  are still responsible to take the test/quiz.
• If they are absent on the day of the test, they
  have to email me by the end of the day to make an
  appointment with me to make it up before school
  or during lunch.
• Tests and quizzes count as 90 of the grade.

4
Textbooks

• Textbooks can be kept at home.
• In addition, each student was provided with a
  username and password to access the online
  version of the textbook that has extra examples,
  additional practice resources and an online tutor
  function.

5
Homework

• The assignment is always written on the board at
  the beginning of the period.
• It is the students responsibility to write it
  down.
• Homework counts as 10 of the grade and will be
  entered once a week.

6
Website

• The day after a homework assignment is given out,
  I will post up DETAILED solutions to every
  problem in the textbook on my webpage.
• Even if I assigned only evens, I will also post
  up the detailed solutions to the odds.
• That way students can look over the questions
  that they got incorrect or were confused about
  and understand how to do them.

7
Extra Help

• Everyday I am available before school after
  730am and after school. Sometimes I have a
  zero period SAT prep class on Tuesdays and
  Thursdays.
• In addition, the math resource room is available.
  
• There is a teacher located in that room every
  lunch period and willing to help students with
  their questions.

8
Leveled Problems

• Although this is an Accelerated and Honors class,
  I will also provide students with leveled
  problems for each chapter.
• If a student needs more practice with easier
  problems before they tackle ours, they can
  practice Level A problems.
• Everyone should be able to do Level B problems.
• If a student needs more of a challenge, they can
  practice the level C problems.
• All solutions will be posted on my webpage.

9
Word Problems

• Students will be responsible for various word
  problem assignments to help them build overall
  communication, comprehension and critical
  thinking skills.
• All word problems must be handed in. If absent,
  a student can take a picture and must email the
  assignment to me by the end of the day.

10
Extra Credit Bank

• Students have taken a pre-assessment.
• They received extra credit points based on how
  many questions they got correct.
• Whenever I return a test or quiz, students can
  use points from their bank to raise their score.
• Students may add points to the bank by submitting
  the Mixed Review of Problem Solving problems
  found in the textbook. There are two sets for
  every chapter.
