5 keys to success in Pre-AP Alg II:

  1. Know your multiplication tables 1-12 by heart.  Make flash cards if you need to!

  2. Be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide positive and negative numbers quickly and accurately without using a calculator.  My classes are not allowed to use a calculator at all in the first chapter. On many tests or quizzes, students are only allowed to use a 4-function calculator.

  3. Be able to solve an equation with the variable on both sides.

  4. Know the perfect squares 1-12(12=1, 22=4, ...., 122=144) and be able to simplify a radical.

  5. Factoring, Factoring, Factoring!   Be able to factor out a greatest common factor, factor the difference of squares and factor trinomials(it would be nice if you knew how to factor problems like 2x2+7x+6 but you absolutely have to be able to do one like x2+x-20)
