Getting Started: Assignment1

It’s not too early to begin thinking about your success in Algebra 2 this summer! Since many of you have spent the past year in geometry class, it will be a good idea to refresh your algebra skills. Below are the prerequisite skills from algebra 1 along with some practice problems. This assignment will not be checked or graded. However, there will be a test on these skills the first or second day we return to school.

If you have trouble with any of these problems, solutions will be posted by Sunday.
(Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have questions.)


Before you begin Algebra 2, you should be able to:

I. Solving Equations and Inequalities (ch 1 in text book)
  • Solve any one variable equation
  • Solve absolute value equation
  • Solve Inequalities
  • Solving Compound and Absolute Value Inequalities
II. Linear Relations and Functions (ch 2 in text book)
  • Identify a function, domain and range
  • Use function notation to evaluate a function
  • Find slope of a line given two points or a graph.
  • Write the equation of a line given slope and y-intercept, slope and a point, two points, or a graph.
  • Graph any line: Including vertical & horizontal, linear inequalities and absolute inequalities
II. Systems of Equation (ch 3 in text book)
