Headlee's Math Mansion

We use the Virginia Edition of the Glencoe Mathematics book titled Algebra 2, by multiple contributing authors, as our text.

Each chapter contains links to the tremendous wealth of information posted on the Glencoe Virginia Mathematics web site for Algebra 2, including extra examples (1-2 page PDF files), randomly-generated Online Self-Check Quizzes by individual lesson and practice tests by chapter, Problem of the Week exercises by chapter, vocabulary review activities by chapter, and WebQuest Internet Projects organized by unit (links given below).

As time permits, I will be developing PowerPoint-format lessons and MS Word student-notes files. If you have any questions, please email me.
