Welcome to ZERO DAY!
Mrs. Foor
Algebra 2
Course Description: In Algebra II we will be reinforcing the skills that you learned in
Algebra I in addition to exploring many new mathematical concepts.
 1st Quarter: Essential Algebra Skills, Graphing, Quadratics
 2nd Quarter: Quadratic Functions & Systems, Exponents and Radical
Expressions and Equations, Polynomial Functions
 3rd Quarter: Rational Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions,
Sequences and Series
 4th Quarter: Data Analysis, SOL Review, and Advanced Algebra preparation
Grading Design: A point system is used to determine your grade based upon home
enjoyment, problem sets, quizzaroos and tests. At all times you will be expected to
complete assessments on your own, upholding the DHS Integrity Policy. Practice is a very
important step in the learning process; through its completion, you develop competence and
confidence in your mathematical skills. Your practice will be graded on completion and
accuracy through a variety of methods and can provide a small increase to your grade each
quarter.
Materials: The following supplies are required for Algebra 2.
2 inch 3-ring binder with graph paper and loose leaf paper
Dividers for binder labeled: bell ringers, class notes, home enjoyment, quizzaroos/tests.
Pencils, pencils, pencils
Dry erase markers, colored pencils and a red pen for grading are also helpful
Student planner
TI 83 or TI 84 Plus calculator—needed everday.
Make Up Work: The best way to handle make up work is by not being absent!
 If you are absent on a regular class day:
 Check EDMODO.com for the posted information.
 Attempt the assignment (you all have your books at home).
 Get any class notes or handouts when you return to school (they will be located
in the orange files next to the front board). If you are having difficulty, then
come in for help.
 Late work will not be accepted unless you have a legitimate absence. All missed
class work, home enjoyment, and assessments will receive a zero unless they
are made up in a timely manner.
Academic Integrity: There will be absolutely no tolerance for cheating in any form.
Cheating is giving or receiving unauthorized aid on any assignment. Examples for cheating
are copying homework (plagiarize), using illegal notes on a test, giving information about a
test to a student in another class, sharing calculators during a test or copying test
answers. Any student found cheating will be referred to an administrator. It is important
that students do their own work to maximize learning.
Classroom Expectations: In order to create a positive learning environment where
everyone can be successful there are some procedures that need to be followed:
 Respect: for the teacher, your peers and yourself.
 Be Prepared: that means come to class with your notebook, supplies, and home
enjoyment each day.
 Be Punctual: you will be considered tardy if you are not in the room when the bell rings.
 Be Diligent: always attempt every problem, show all your work and study hard.
 Be Honest: there is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.
 Absolutely NO: cell phones or ipods in use during class.
Behavior that interferes with the learning of others will not be tolerated.
Teacher Support:
 If you are absent or need extra help outside of class, I am available during 5th period
Titan Time in the Auditorium and at 8am on all 'B' days in room 411.
 My #1 goal is for you to be successful and love math!
