At Springville Junior High, there is one particularly small class- this class is algebra 2. All the students in algebra 2 are ninth graders, yet they are learning eleventh grade math. How is this possible?
The students in algebra 2 got to where they are by taking a test and skipping pre-algebra. By doing so they were able to take algebra in seventh grade, geometry in eighth grade, and moved up to algebra 2 in ninth grade.
Although it may sound like a hard class, the students say it isn’t hard. There is not much homework, and Mrs. Gleave explains things really well, which makes it easy to understand.
“If you don’t get it, you ask,” said Kenzee Hargett, a student in algebra 2.
“It’s my favorite class,” said Makenzie Milner, another student in algebra 2. In Algebra 2 they do interesting activities. One time they made up Math carols by taking Christmas carols and putting algebra equations as the words, and caroled in classes around the school.
The students in algebra 2 like it very much. According to the students, Mrs. Gleave makes it fun.
