Following this class pacing encourages daily, incremental learning and practice that helps students plan, manage their time and come prepared to participate in the live weekly class.
Each week will begin with an instructional note about concepts to come and a list of assignments.
-
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.
-
The classes will encourage critical thinking and will apply math concepts to the real world.
-
Coursework is teacher-graded with individual weekly feedback and assistance on submitted work.
Core and Supplemental Resources
Your digital resources fee includes:
-
An ebook of McGraw-Hill's Glencoe Algebra 2 (2018)
-
The ebook offers built-in study tips, supplementary videos, links to on-the spot explanations, concept checks, applications to real life, and hands-on activities to solidify concepts.
-
Cengage's WebAssign, which offers students instant access to homework results.

Free interactive apps such as GeoGebra will help students visualize concepts, and a graphing calculator app will be used to teach students the various functions and techniques needed to efficiently solve equations on their calculators.
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 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.
More about Ashley Porter
_edited.jpg)
Ashley Porter is a graduate of North Carolina State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and two minors--in Statistics and Environmental Science--all in under four years.
For as long as she can remember, mathematics and its relationship to daily life has fascinated her. Throughout high school and college, her amazing teachers helped nurture a love for mathematics and its unique language. Her passion for numbers grew exponentially with each new concept learned. Originally attending NC State in hopes of pursuing a Civil Engineering degree, Ashley
switched to Applied Mathematics and Statistics in her sophomore year, as she quickly found a deeper passion for abstract topics--where two multiplied by two no longer equals four.
Before college, she took every math class her high school offered, while also tutoring her peers in a variety of math topics. During her sophomore and junior years at NC State, she was a Teacher’s Assistant for Calculus 2. Her experience tutoring in both high school and college kindled a passion for teaching. Her goal is to provide a positive learning environment, preserving the importance of mathematics while empowering students to unlock the ability to see it in a whole new way. Ashley is committed to helping students develop a growth mindset as they tackle and learn difficult topics in math. Her sincere hope is to help others increase their love of math through fun and optimism.
Some of her favorite math topics include geometry, abstract algebra, logic, and statistics. In addition to teaching high school math at Blue Tent, Ashley currently tutors online at Zooming Through Math, and previously taught mathematics in a private school in Clayton, North Carolina.
Ashley and her husband live in a small town just south of Raleigh with their baby (well, fur baby). She loves traveling, playing board games, hosting friends, drawing and journaling and is actively involved in her church community. In 2016 she traveled to Indonesia, Germany, and the Netherlands, making a full 360-degree circle around the globe in under 30 days.
