Homework and quizzes will be assigned weekly, with some work completed directly on the website and some uploaded.
-
Students will be offered more than one attempt on quizzes and tests, encouraging work toward mastery.
-
Some weekly assignments will offer immediate online feedback so that students can proceed at a pace that is optimal for them.

Is the Honors Option right for you?
Algebra 2 is an important class for future success in Precalculus and Calculus. Students planning to pursue admission to competitive colleges or pursue a STEM track will want a solid Algebra 2 underpinning. Those who choose the honors option will be presented with instruction and practice that will expand on the weekly topics covered and encourage critical thinking. The Honors Option may require an additional 1-2 hours per week of classwork; however, some students find they can master the material much more efficiently than that.
​
Through targeted, teacher-produced recordings, live instruction and study halls, and a commitment to offer detailed feedback and support, students will be well prepared to successfully apply Algebra 2 concepts in their future math and science classes.
