Preparing for Algebra II

[Anonymous]

My son typically gets good grades in math but he struggles a bit because of ADHD and I fear that 10th grade is going to overwhelm him.

I was hoping a little work over the summer would help.

Other than a private tutor, what can I do? His father can help him but without the curriculum, it's less efficient.

Any resources that you found helpful? Books, online courses?

Chemistry is also something I might have him work on a bit too over the summer.

Check with your local high school. DD's is offering non credit math "boost" classes taught by the high school teachers in prep for next year.

You can find the curriculum at https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/math/high/algebra2/

And khan academy is really good.

Mathnasium might be an option for you. They assess and identify the weak areas that need more work. With how COVID happened, I am afraid next year’s Algebra 2 will be a mess for many students. I haven’t heard whether MCPS will be making any changes to curriculum.

Kids have been in person all year. There is zero Covid and other excuses now. Get your kid a tutor if they need help.
