Algebra 2 2025-2026
Grading Criteria
Tests – 70%
Quizzes – 15%
Classwork – 10%
Homework – 5%
Tests will take place after each unit.
Quizzes will be weekly Regents free response questions and/or multiple choice.
Classwork will be given almost every other day.
Pictures of homework will be required to be uploaded to google classroom before class starts.
*All Tests, Classwork, and Quizzes will be required to be made up after class absences.*
The required graphing calculator for the class will be the TI-nspire CX-II. A class set will be
provided but if you can see yourself pursuing a STEM degree after high school, owning your
own would be an asset.
