Grading Assignments are weighted as follows: Major assignments (e.g., tests and projects): 40% Minor assignments (e.g., classwork and quizzes): 60% Tests/quizzes will always be announced ~1 week in advance. There will be 2-3 tests per quarter. Current grades are available on BCPS One. Copies of materials can be found on PBworks: http://apcspths.pbworks.com

Textbook CPM Core Connections: Algebra 2. Textbook is available online only (through BCPS One). We have a small supply of “loaner” books for students without Internet access at home. Old Algebra 2 book is no longer available online. Pro tip: Google “Amsco algebra 2”; the first result (Hicksville (L.I.) Public Schools) is a (legal) PDF of the full book.

Extra Help After-school math help is available Tuesday-Friday after school. I am generally around before and after school, though students need not seek help from only me. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
