Min Assistants: 1 Max Assistants: 1 (Assistant Max Reached)
This is an Algebra 2 class for those who have successfully completed Algebra 1. During class we will cover any questions from the previous week's work, introduce new material (4 lessons) and correct the weekly test performed at home. Students will receive a grade based on daily assignments (50% of their grade) and test scores (50% of their grade). Parental involvement is ESSENTIAL and REQUIRED. Parent(s) will be correcting their daily assignments and having them re-do missed homework problems to enhance their student's learning. In this course we review all topics of Algebra 1, continuing geometry and introduce trigonometry all while striving for accuracy.
This class is for a full high school credit. Students will have homework each week that includes completing 4 lessons and 1 test per week. Please plan on 4 to 10 hours a week in work at home (lessons and a test). Parents are to correct lessons and students are expected to correct errors and get a parent signature. Teacher will correct all tests.
To maintain a passing grade in this course, student will need to stay up to date on all assignments and log onto Canvas for grades. If you don't already have a student Canvas account, please sign up for free or contact Laurie Burkhart for more information.
