Homework
There is a very rigorous pace due to the amount of curriculum that has to be covered in order to be prepared for algebra II. Note that we will be covering a different lesson/skill/concept every two days. Therefore, there will be several topics assessed on the unit exams. Studying every night is recommended. Studying only the night before a quiz or exam will not lead to success!
An effective learning strategy is to read through a lesson the night before it is going to be taught. This will allow the students to enter the classroom with some background knowledge.
