Honors Algebra 2 - Summer Review Assignment
Name_______________________
This assignment should serve as a review of the algebra skills necessary for success in Algebra 2 with Analysis. 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 on the first day of
school. Enjoy your summer. See you in September ready to learn !!!!
