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.
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.
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.
Homework
 The assignment is always written on the board at the
beginning of the period.
 It is the student’s responsibility to write it down.
 Any assignment (example Word Problems) that must be
handed in will not be accepted late. If absent, students are
to email me the assignment on the due date.
 Homework counts as 10% of the grade and will be entered
once a week.
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.
Extra Help
 Everyday I am available before school after 7:30am
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.
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.
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.
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.
