Q1 Alg2

This page contains the Algebra II work assignments from the first quarter. Do not expect to receive any credit whatsoever for completing this work, unless you have made specific arrangements with Mr. Petto beforehand.

For current Algebra II assignments, click on Alg2 in the menubar above.

Click here (or to the left on the chalkboard icon) to navigate to the LHS Google Classroom for Algebra 2. This website and our Google Classroom are the primary spots for LHS Alg2 online interaction.

The last day to retest or submit Q1 make-up work is one week before the end of the quarter: Thursday, October 12.

Late work will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue. The formula used is:

\[adjusted\;score = {0.95^{days\;late}} \times original\;score\]

Extra-credit opportunities may be announced in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted here, or noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try.

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 5% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue thereafter, using the formula above.
