Honors Algebra 2 Summer Packet This summer packet is for students entering Honors Algebra 2 for the Fall of 2015. The material contained in this packet represents Algebra 1 skills, procedures and concepts that we expect students to know as they enter Honors Algebra 2. Students are expected to complete this packet by the first day of school. We strongly suggest that students not wait until the last minute to do the packet. Completed packets will be collected and graded. The packet is worth 5% of the student s first marking period grade. No credit will be given unless all work is shown. Whereas in past years we have been able to review Algebra 1 content during the first month to month and a half of the school calendar year changes in the New Jersey Common Core Content Standards require us to significantly reduce the time spent reviewing Algebra 1 content in order to adequately cover the required Algebra 2 content as specified by the New Jersey Common Core Standards. Completion of this packet will therefore ensure a smooth transition into new Algebra 2 topics that we need to cover right away. Teachers teaching Honors Algebra 2 will use this summer packet to conduct an abbreviated review of prerequisite Algebra 1 content, followed by an exam on the majority of the prerequisite material within the first two weeks of the school year. That exam will be worth 10% of the first marking period grade. This summer packet is specifically designed to review the following topics: Working with fractions and ratios when performing algebraic operations Solving linear equations and linear inequalities Solving absolute value equations and inequalities Evaluating functions and identifying the key characteristics of functions (e.g. domain and range) Computing slope or rate of change Graphing linear equations given an equation either in slope intercept form or standard form Writing linear equations Graphing linear inequalities in two variables. Solving systems of linear equations Factoring polynomials Operations with Polynomials
