Algebra II is an opportunity for you to expand your algebraic skills. Topics include
(but are not limited to) exponents, functions, systems of equations and inequalities,
quadratics, logarithms, and polynomials.
This classroom is a cooperative learning environment. You will be expected to be
part of a team and work with your classmates to collectively solve problems. Daily
practice may be done in teams, but you will take your assessments individually. So, ask
lots of questions!!! Utilize your teammates, and don't be afraid to ask me for
clarification.
All important information (unit topics, calendars, notes, and reviews, etc.) can
always be found on my website www.mathminton.weebly.com.
Grading
Summative Assessments (tests, performance tasks, etc.) make up 80% of your
grade. Formative Assessments (quizzes, daily exit slips, etc.) will make up the remaining
20% of your grade. Daily practice may be given either in or out of class.This may not be
graded. But you still need to make sure you give this your best effort. This is a skillsbased class; you don't want to fall behind.

Classroom Expectations (Non-negotiable)

Be on time. That means you need to be inside the classroom at the bell.
Be prepared. (Have paper and pencil ready for use.)
Follow the class norms. Work within your team, don't talk to others outside of your
team, and stay on topic!
Avoid the use of your cell phone and iPad (until instructed by your teacher).
Electronic devices are great tools when used appropriately. Desks should be clear
of purses and backpacks to allow for a clear workspace for you and your team.
Respect the learning and individuality of others. Do not leave your seat or call out
answers without permission.
Water is allowed in the classroom. No other food or drink.
Extra Help
I am available nearly every day after school until 3:30. I will also check my email on
a regular basis. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. Help me help you!!!
