Algebra II Syllabus

Course Description
    ALGEBRA II                         10^TH-12^TH GRADES                                      1 CREDIT

Students must have completed both semesters of Algebra I and Geometry before taking Algebra II.  This course is set upon the basis that one learns mathematics by doing mathematics and that a proper balance between theory and practice is essential for genuine understanding.  This course is important for students planning to take math, chemistry, or physics in high school or college.  Topics covered in the course are consistent with the 9-12 Mathematics Standards (Algebra, core and advanced) Content Standards - SD Department of Education

What happens if I miss class?

• It is the responsibility of the student to get ALL makeup work, i.e. get missed notes and assignments and to make arrangements to make up quizzes and tests.  If the student knows he or she will miss class, it is the responsibility of the student to make up the work (quiz/tests) before he or she is absent.  PLEASE CHECK THE HOMEWORK PAGE ON MY WEB SITE.  You may be able to print off a copy of the notes from there.
