All students have access to these platforms provided by the district. Assignments will be assigned via MICRSOFT TEAMS, Nearpod, Castle Learning and Delta Math. All assignments need to be handed in via MICROSOFT TEAMS unless the work assigned on Castle Learning and or Delta Math. As per the Yonkers Board of Education, schools will tentatively open on October 5, 2020. Both in-person and remote learning classroom expectations will be consistent for both. Also note that Wednesday is a Flex Schedule Day. Periods 1 through 8 will be offered in an abbreviated schedule.Remote Learning Expectations: 1. Attend all Microsoft TEAM meetings2. Complete and upload all online assignments 3. It is recommended that students download the MICROSOFT TEAMS APP onto their phone so they can get real time content.Course Description:This Algebra course is designed to provide the foundation for higher level classes in mathematics. Topics covered include algebraic, graphic and numerical representation of algebraic expressions and functions. The focus of our study will be: The properties of Real Numbers, Linear Functions, Systems of Linear Functions and Inequalities, Exponential functions, Quadratic functions, Polynomials and Factoring. Techniques of problem solving, and applications are included throughout the course.The goal of this course is to prepare mathematically proficient students to take the New York State Algebra Regents Examination in June 2021.Classroom Expectations:1. Come to class READY to learn.2. RESPECT you, others, and all property.3. Think and be RESPONSIBLE.Consequences:1. Verbal Warning2. Conference with Student3. Parental contact (by phone or email)4.

Home Practice may be assigned daily, Monday through Friday, and is scaled so that it should not take your child more than thirty minutes to complete. Each home practice assignment is worth 5 points. In order to receive full credit on your home practice, you must attempt every problem, show your work, and have it completed on time. Home practice is graded strictly on effort; therefore, not turning in an assignment is very detrimental for your child’s average. The amount of days to complete make-up assignments will be determined by the number of days absent.Quizzes usually cover one or two sections of each objective. Various quizzes will be announced, and some will not. Tests are given at the completion of each objective. Tests are usually a combination of multiple choice and free response questions. Students will be given advance notice on test dates.Semester Final: A cumulative final exam will be given at the end of the semester. Projects will be assigned quarterly. Some projects will be completed in class, while others will be completed at home. Each project will be discussed in class, as well as examples shown of completed projects. Students will be given a rubric for grading. ................
