Course Syllabus

Welcome to Algebra 2 Semester 2 Lab and second semester of the 2022-2023 school year! Ms. Frei and myself are excited to be teaching this course, getting to know you, and working together to support you. We hope to build your confidence, develop new math concepts, improve your critical thinking and problem solving skills, as well as give you guidance for how to ask questions to get the answers that will help you move to future levels of math.

Our primary goal in Lab is to support you to find success in your Algebra 2 class. During Lab, you will often do some number fluency, critical thinking and problem solving (often games or puzzles), learn or re-learn by creating ‘anchors’ for the learning in Algebra 2, practice skills, retake mastery checks, retake test that are less than 60%, and use work time to start or finish Algebra 2 assignments.

Materials: Bring to class daily

• Binder, folder or other organizational system for Lab work
• Algebra 2 materials, including any notes or worksheet
• Pencils and eraser
• Graphing Calculator (TI-84 required)
• Laptop and charger
• Optional: Textbook (digital copy is accessible through laptop)

Grades:

Class Work 100% - Graded daily, inputted weekly

• • Complete warm-up (1 point per day)
  • Complete anchor, practice, lesson or activity (3 points per day)
  • Working on Algebra 2 assignment(s) (1 point per day)

Any missed classes, will be excused. While students will not be expected to make-up work in Algebra 2 Lab, the additional materials and practice are designed to improve understanding and  academic success.

Outside Help:

• Sign up for Nest on Tuesdays or Wednesdays with either your Algebra 2 teacher or your Lab teacher
• Come to your Algebra 2 teacher’s office hours of either of the Lab teacher’s hours, see below.
