Algebra 2 Summer Review Assignment
This assignment should serve as a review of some of the Algebra skills necessary for success in Algebra 2. Our
hope is that this review will keep your mind mathematically active during the summer, identify weaknesses in
Algebra, if they exist, and prepare you for the fun and challenging year ahead. We expect that you come to class
knowing this material and ready to continue learning Algebra. Answer all questions on separate paper. SHOW
ALL WORK. This assignment will be collected for a grade on the first day of school.
Enjoy your summer!!
