Hi, my name is John Conner, and this is my third year at Cedar Park High School. This year I will be teaching Algebra II and Pre-AP Algebra II.

Algebra II builds upon and extends the foundations that were laid in Algebra I. Our aim throughout the year will be to strengthen each student's grasp of the basics, as well as introducing higher level concepts and techniques. Ultimately, I want my students to possess both the knowledge, enduring curiosity, and study habits that they will need as they progress in their mathematical careers.

Practicing and mastering math concepts is difficult for many students. However, the payoffs-- discipline, abstract thinking and problem solving capabilities-- are unparalleled and critical, regardless of the direction that a student's studies take in the future.

And believe it or not, it can be fun. :)

I am very excited about this school year, and I hope you are too!

Requirements and scoring guidelines for written assignments in all classes can be found here.

My tutorials times are:
Tuesday: 3:50-4:30 pm
Thursday: 3:50-4:30 pm
Friday: 7:50-8:30 am

If you can't make it my tutorials, you are always welcome to attend any Math teacher's tutorials. There are Algebra II teachers with tutorials scheduled every day of the week, both before and after school. Take advantage of that opportunity-- remember, you are ultimately responsible for your own learning.

The online textbook section of the www.classzone.com site has downloadable workbook pages.

To access online versions of the textbook and workbook, click here.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'Online Book'.
You will have to create a student account and enter the ISBN (from your textbook).
Once you sign in, you may be asked for an "activation code". Just click, "I'll get an activation code later, just let me in for now".
You will now have access to the online textbook or workbook pages.

Most of the documents on my web page have been formatted in .pdf format. You need some form of Abobe Reader to access these files. If you do not already have it, you can down load it here for free.
