Integrated Math I Linear Equations and Inequalities Packet 1

Integrated Math I Linear Equations and Inequalities Packet 1

This week we will begin by going over class expectations. Then, we will go over both numeric and graphic representations of data. We will review writing expressions and equations from scenarios, before solving equations and learning about the two-column proof. We'll take a break from lessons to do our beginning of year benchmark testing. Finally, we will review none and infinitely many solutions. You will have a quiz on this section of the unit on Tuesday next week.

Course Overview

Welcome to eSTEM Academy! This semester I will challenge you to explore and inquire. I will guide you through difficult problems that demand perseverance and creativity. We will cover a variety of mathematical topics in algebra, geometry, and probability. While exploring these topics, we will focus on the themes of strategic problem solving and creative thinking. My hope for this course is that you will learn both valuable mathematics and valuable skills which will prove useful to you in many areas of your life. If you put in your hardest work and believe that you are capable of learning, you will leave my classroom not only as a better mathematician, but also as a better thinker.

Habits of Mind

During a typical class session, you will work collaboratively in groups with three or four of your classmates. It will be important that you clearly communicate your ideas to your group. You will work through challenging problems that will require you to be persistent and flexible--you will often need to try many different approaches and not give up even when you feel stuck. Many problems will also require creative problem solving and risk taking--you will need to come up with and try new ways of solving a problem, even if you are not sure if they will work.

Classroom Expectations

?

Present: You are in your seat when the class begins, with all necessary materials (pencil,

calculator, necessary notes, etc.). Focus on learning, which means no distractions are on/out. Note

on cell phones: you are expected to have electronics stowed and off during class. Students caught

on their phones on a first offense will have 30 seconds to put them away, and if caught a second

time must put them in distractions jail on my desk for the remainder of the class.

?

Kind: Remember that all of your classmates and your teacher are fellow humans, make

sure to treat them with respect and kindness. Don't interrupt the learning of others. Follow

instructions.

?

Honest: Present your own work. Be willing to express respectfully when you're confused.

Ask questions in an effort to understand. Give a genuine effort.

How to Contact

Best Way: I prefer text! I will respond to calls, texts, and emails sent before 7:30pm.

Homework Policy

You will receive homework most days, and is considered incomplete if work is not shown (on paper assignments). Homework is 10% of your grade, and completing it is strongly correlated with higher test grades and overall grades.

Completed homework turned in by the due date can receive up to full credit and will be returned with time to review before the next quiz. Missing or incomplete homework will result in a 0%

Late or redone homework can be turned in within one week of due date. The last day I will accept homework is labeled on the paper assignments.

Turn in homework at the bin for your block in the back of the room. If you are absent or lose your homework, assignments can be found at mshubermath. ? either print the homework

page or do the assignment on loose leaf paper, making sure to write the assignment title on the paper.

Midterms and Finals Your midterm and final test will each account for 10% of your course grade. The other 80% of your grade for the course comes from your two quarter grades.

Retakes Every student has the option to retake tests and quizzes. If you would like to do a retake, you must turn the test back in within two weeks of receiving it graded, with the appropriate section filled in to schedule the retake time. Up to half of the points missed can be made up by retaking. Flex or Office Hours are the two times you will have to retake assignments.

Weighted vs. Unweighted If you choose to take this as a weighted course, you will be given a list of interesting math related theorems and topics. You will be required to create two assignments and presentations surrounding your two selections from these topics.

Tardy Policy Students who enter the room after class begins will follow the following sequence:

? 1st offense: verbal warning to student, logged in system ? 2nd offense: verbal warning to student, logged in system, parent call ? 3rd offense: parent call, logged in system, one after school detention ? 4th offense: parent call, logged it system, two after school detentions ? 5th offense: logged in system, consequence determined by administrative team
