Tests:A chapter test will be given at the end of each chapter/unit and possibly in the middle of some chapters.

Quizzes: Quizzes will be given frequently and may be announced or unannounced. Quizzes may be made up within 2 days of an excused absence. In the event of an excused absence and the 2 day requirement was not met, the chapter test grade will replace the quiz grade.

Daily Work/HW: Homework will be assigned after each lesson. All students are expected to complete homework and classwork assignments, as it is extremely necessary to practice the procedures and to deeply contemplate the concepts covered in class on a daily basis. Please attempt to do the homework without looking at notes, textbook, or constant aid to understand the level of mastery you have obtained.Students need to check answers for mistakes and strive to identify and correct misunderstandings independently or with classmates before the next class. There is limited class time reserved for homework questions.

Algebra II Honors 2016-2017

Honors Algebra II challenges students in the continued study of advanced algebraic concepts including relations, mostly functions that are algebraic and transcendental, and systems of these entities. Students will be expected to describe and translate among graphic, algebraic, numeric, tabular, and verbal representations of relations and use those representations to solve problems. Emphasis will be placed on higher order thinking skills that impact practical and increasingly complex applications and modeling. Active participation in class consists of thorough note-taking, in-depth thinking, problem solving, and constant communication of ideas. It is essential that active participation and maximum effort are put forth at all times.
