Math II Course Outline

Math II is designed to strengthen the student’s ability to perform arithmetical operations. Students will be expected to develop the ability to present their work in a clear and legible manner. The course will introduce students to more challenging problems and begin relating word problems to mathematical expressions and calculations. Math II covers the same ground as Math I but may do so at a faster pace with the expectation that students who complete Math II will be ready for Pre-Algebra. The idea of algebraic expressions and unknown quantities will be introduced. Math I & II students will take a mid-semester assessment that may result in a new placement to better meet their needs.
