How to get the most out of Glencoe Middle School Math 2, Part One with Emily Nardozzi:

  • First, watch that week’s recording.  
  • Do the homework problems that correspond the recorded lesson and check the odd-numbered problems in the back of your book.  
  • Watch the second recording (if there is one) and complete the corresponding homework problems.
  • Complete the quiz. (Take this as many times as necessary.  Try to achieve 100%.)
  • Complete the chapter test (if there is one).

Course Description: Middle School Math 2 covers many of the same topics as Middle School Math 1, but each topic is discussed more in-depth and with more application. We will still be doing a lot of work with fractions, decimals, integers, data analysis, algebraic expressions and equations, functions and inequalities, using formulas, and surface area and volume. We will add to this list ratios and proportions and more applications of fractions and percentages. This course is designed to prepare students for Pre-Algebra.
