Algebra II
Sierra Vista's Algebra II is part of the Geometry and Beyond Workshop which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30am-10am. The course is offered via the ALEKS system.
Text: The ALEKS system is aligned with the district approved McDougal Littel Algebra 2. McDougal Littel offers support including Powerpoint Presentations, animations, games, exercises and an online version of the text at their Classzone website.
How does this work?
Workshop: Students attend the workshop for three hours each week. While there, they complete lessons/topics in the ALEKS system. Students take notes on these lessons and keep a notebook. When they have difficulty with a lesson they can reference the textbook and the McDougal Littel Classzone Website. A credentialed teacher is also available for assistance and consultation. Students are encouraged to spend 2-4 additional hours per week on campus or at home working on the course.
On Campus: If students would like to work online on campus, computers with internet access are available in Room 703 and the Sierra Vista Testing Center. Tutors are available in Room 703 from 8:00am-2:30pm.
At Home: Students may do all of the same activities they do in the workshops from any computer with internet access! They may email the teacher for assistance.
