Supplementary Drill and Practice Quizzes

For Students Preparing to Enter Algebra II

 

Instructions

 

·     Work through all 44 topics in the topic list (see below). You may wish to work on only a few topics each day, or you may prefer to do many of them in a row. Each topic has a short tutorial, which you may or may not wish to read. Then, if you scroll down the page, you will find an interactive drill/quiz area. Do a minimum of 10 questions in each topic, and if your score is below 100% (10 out of 10), then do at least 10 more questions.

·     Important: All of these exercises are to be worked WITHOUT CALCULATOR. There is one topic, concerning comparison of decimals and fractions, on which a score of 7 or 8 out of 10 is acceptable, since the estimation is difficult to perform without a calculator. However, you should challenge yourself by avoiding the calculator completely. Please do not pop up a “calculator window” on the computer, either.

·     After 10 or 20 questions in each topic (or more than 20, if you feel so moved), click the “Report Totals” button. This is a gold-colored button immediately below the drill/practice area. An example report is shown below:

·     If you are unhappy with your score, there is no penalty for going back to the drill/practice page and starting over from zero. (Simply click the START button that is provided immediately above the blank boxes.)

·     If you were one of the students that needed to do drill and practice work over the summer, then please make a printout for each topic, and save all the report pages in a binder (or paper-clip them together). Please show your report pages to Mr. Hansen or Ms. Dunn at the Algebra II Running STArt Program. If you do not have a chance to do all 44 topics, you should still come to the program. Here are the dates and times:

Session 1: Monday, August 31, 1:00 p.m.
Session 2: Tuesday, September 1, 12:30 p.m. (soccer players will need to leave early)
Session 3: Tuesday, September 8, 11:00 a.m.

Each session lasts 90 minutes. There is no charge for this program.
