generally can be completed in 20 minutes or less.
Daily lessons and notes are posted on my website.
There will be multiple assessments throughout
the year including progress checks, quizzes,
projects, tests, daily assignments and a
cumulative exam at the end of each semester.

OPTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR
Algebra 3
Precalculus
College Prep Algebra 2 will provide opportunities for your child to
build upon prior learning and extend his/her knowledge of concepts
from Algebra to prepare for next year’s math course.
In February, your child’s math teacher will recommend your child
for either College Prep Algebra 3 or Precalculus. Students who
are recommended for College Prep Algebra 3 for next year will
have the opportunity to take Precalculus the following year.
Students who are recommended for Precalculus for next year will
have the opportunity to take Calculus the following year.
To provide the best course placement, any student who is
recommended for Precalculus next year will need to possess higher
level thinking skills, be able to apply studied concepts to new
situations, possess abstract reasoning skills, and possess good
student skills. Scores from key chapter tests will be considered for
the recommendation; these chapters include trigonometry,
logarithms, and systems of linear equations. Additionally, homework
completion, previous standardized test scores, and semester final
scores will be taken into consideration.
If your child DOES NOT currently have a calculator, please consider
purchasing the TI Nspire CX calculator. There is a code for
on-line access to activities that can be downloaded for extra practice.
