Curriculum

Common Core State Standards

These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards:

▪ Are aligned with college and work expectations;

▪ Are clear, understandable and consistent;

▪ Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills;

▪ Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards;

▪ Are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and

▪ Are evidence-based.

Classroom Rules

• Follow directions!

• Come to class prepared and on time!

➢ Covered Textbook

➢ Notebook

➢ Pencil

➢ Calculator

o Using a calculator on a cell phone is strictly prohibited.

o Students are encouraged to bring their own scientific calculator.

• When the teacher is talking the students are not talking!

• Obey all school rules from your Handbook!

Class Guidelines

• Regular attendance is crucial in class as mathematics builds upon itself. A student is responsible to make up his or her work in a timely fashion. Otherwise, all missed work will result in a zero. In some cases missed work will be given a grade based upon quizzes/tests or be exempt. For any prolonged absence, arrangements should be made with the teacher.

• A notebook will be kept in a neat and organized manner. Put your name and hour in the upper right hand corner on all work. All work will be done in pencil. Pens are forbidden!

• What you bring to class is your responsibility. You will be expected to be in your seat with a pencil, notebook, calculator and your covered Geometry book when the bell begins to ring. If this is not done a tardy will be issued. (Three tardies equals one hour of Saturday School)

• It is the responsibility of the student to seek extra help. A student is encouraged to ask for help during class. You can also come in before school or during seminar. There is no excuse for not getting extra help. I will help any student as long as they make an effort to receive help. My website is also an excellent resource for students needing extra help. Please remember that only the student truly controls their own attitude and work ethic.

Classroom Behavior

Effective learning takes place in an environment that is quiet and organized. Disruptions of any kind will not be tolerated. Respect and common sense will be the basis for the evaluation of an action. It is your choice. You can follow the rules and reap the benefits or break the rules and suffer the consequences.

Grading

Grades are based on many factors and are weighted differently. Each marking period grade will be based on the following areas: homework – 25%, quizzes – 25%, tests – 50%.

Homework – Homework is assigned daily. For the most part you will have time to work on the assignments in class. You need to use your time wisely. Every homework assignment may or may not be graded. There are many different ways to grade a homework assignment.

Quizzes – Quizzes will be given to help assess how students are doing on new material. The quizzes may be announced or unannounced.

Tests – All major tests will be announced well in advance. Material will carry over from test to test. The material on these tests will lead us to a semester and final exam.
