**Online Resource Library**   Many students struggle in Algebra II due to a lack of the fundamental skills of algebra. Instrumental understanding is the norm for many mathematics classes, and subsequently there is a major issue with retention of material. Algebra II teachers are often forced to spend time reviewing past concepts, as spiraling back periodically is not sufficient. This review limits progress with new material and cuts into an already insufficient amount of time. Thus the cycle of instrumental understanding continues.

To address this issue, teachers need to provide students with resources that reinforce previously learned concepts with a relational understanding and that re-teach concepts that will be built upon. Teachers need resources that students can utilize on their own time to address misconceptions and strengthen their mathematical base in preparation for increasingly complex topics.

This site is a starting point for such resources. The collections of resources vary from stand-alone to supplemental resources for a designed lesson. This is not a site that students should be sent to in order to increase their algebra skills. Instead this is a site for teachers to analyze resources that can be catered to the specific needs of his/her select students. Explore the site through the following links:
