Textbook: Larson, R., & McDougal, L. (2004). Algebra 2. Evanston, Ill.: McDougal Littell

Course Overview: This course builds upon and extends the concepts, skills and understanding learned in Algebra I. The course will also introduce more advanced topics that will serve as a foundation for Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry and College Algebra.

Grading Scale: We will follow the BSSD policy for letter grades.

90% - 100% A

80% - 89% B

70% - 79% C

60% - 69% D

0 % - 59% F



Grading Weights: Your grade will be weighted based on the following:



Required Materials: Graphing Calculator (Recommended: TI-84 or TI-83, must be ACT approved), Pencil, Paper/Notebook, Graph Paper, and a Straight Edge

Common Assessment, EOC

  • 18- and 36-week assessments are BSSD exams and are entered as test scores.

  • EOC is the state “End of Course” exam and is given in late spring.

  • EOC is worth 10% of the second semester grade.
