Welcome to Algebra 2 Honors! Mrs. Kadis

In this class we will build on the skills and concepts you acquired in Algebra 1 Honors. There will be some lecture, note taking and daily assignments. Usually, you will have a test or quiz weekly on the current material.

Materials

You will need a scientific calculator for most tests and quizzes.

You will need a graphing calculator Recommended calculators are either the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus, TI-83 Plus. These are also the required calculators for all of the subsequent courses that you take at Mission High.

If you are purchasing a new calculator, please bring in the Proof of Purchase label as the school can send them in to Texas Instruments for promotional offers available to schools only.

Grading

Your grade will be based on the following criteria:

Tests 60%

Quizzes 20%

Assignments 20%

The following grading scale will be used:

90%-100%.......A

80%-89%.........B

70%-79%.........C

65%-69%.........D

64% or less......F

Percentages will be rounded on semester grades only. On a quarter grade 89.9% is a B+.

Miscellaneous

All assignments are stamped for reasonable completion at the beginning of the period. You are expected to correct your homework before you turn it in at the end of each unit. It is your responsibility to ask questions about problems that you cannot do. If you are absent, you have the same length of time to make up the work as the length of the absence. A deduction will be made for incomplete work. No credit will be given for late work.

The lowest quiz score will be dropped at the end of each semester. In general, quizzes cannot be made up since most are returned the following day. Absences are handled on an individual basis. If you know you will be absent on a test or quiz day, you must make arrangements in advance for makeups

All answers must be justified with work on assignments and tests to receive full credit.

Class time is for math only. Work from other classes will be confiscated. Socializing and playing calculator games will result in a loss of class work points.

No eating and drinking during class time (bottled water OK).

Be courteous and aware of others. For example, when working in groups keep your voices down so other groups aren't distracted.

Stay in your assigned seat until the bell rings. No wandering around.
