Please feel free to contact me by email?at msather@murrieta.k12.ca.us or by phone at (951) 677-0568 ext 6376.??Required Text(s)McDougall Littell: CA Geometry?by Larson, Boswell, et al., McDougall Littell, 2007.Secondary Mathematics Two: An Integrated Approach by Hendrickson, Honey, et al.,?Mathematics Vision Project (MVP), 2013.?Course DescriptionMath II is the second course of a three-year sequence of integrated math courses that incorporate the new state standards and Practice Standards in Mathematics.?The purpose of Math II is to develop students’ ability to think mathematically and develop their conceptual understanding of mathematics and procedural fluency in mathematics. Math I will extend the mathematics students learned in earlier grades and begin the development of concepts in Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Modeling, Geometry and Probability-Statistics, as well as Complex Numbers, Conics & Matrices (Pre-Calculus Standards). The critical topics of this course are:Quadratic FunctionsTrigonometric FunctionsSimilarityRight Triangles & TrigonometryConicsComplex Numbers & Matrices (Advanced only)Circles & VolumeGeometric Properties and CongruenceProbabilityModeling DataExtensive use of models (or real-world situations), manipulatives, graphs and diagrams will help students view how mathematics is a set of related topics as opposed to a set of discrete topics. In addition, students will solve problems graphically, numerically, algebraically, and to make verbal connections between these representations. Students routinely use the standards for mathematical practice to make sense of problems, justify solutions and conclusions, model with mathematics, and strategically use technology to analyze and solve real-world problems.Semester 1Semester 2Module 1: Quadratic FunctionsModule 2: Structures of ExpressionsModule 3: Quadratic EquationsModule 4: More Functions, More FeaturesModule 5: Geometric FiguresModule 6: Similarity & Right Triangle TrigonometryModule 7: Circles from a Geometric PerspectiveModule 8: Circles and Other ConicsModule 9: Probability???GradingStudents?earn?their own grades. Each assignment is worth a certain amount of points and given a percentage grade. Periodically, grades will be posted in the classroom by student ID numbers and/or on Aeries (ABI) . The percentage breakdown is as follows:Test: 60%Quizzes: 15%Assignments (Ready,Set, Go!/Tasks/Participation): 25%?Highly Recommended SuppliesGraphing Composition Book, Pencils, Pens, Ruler, Highlighters, Calculators??Citizenship?Citizenship grades will be determined by a student’s contribution in class, with?“S” (Satisifactory) and“E” (Excellent) grades?denoting positive contributions. Behavior that is detrimental to the?learningof others and unexcused absences or tardiness will result in “N” (Needs Improvement)?or“U” (Unsatisfactory) grades.?ClassroomGuidelinesI will adhere to?School-Wide Rules?and Regulations (see?Student Handbook), as well as the?following guidelines:1)?Be?respectful.2)?Be?in class on time.3)?Be?prepared.*Food, drinks (except bottled water), candy, or gum are prohibited in class.**Cell phones and other electronic devices must be turned off at all times.?Consequence& PoliciesPlease refer to consequence and policy on tardy and electronic devices (see?Student Handbook).Major infractions and consistent defiance will result?in loss of?ALL?classroom privileges!?Groups orStudy Teams*?Each member of the team or cooperative group is responsible for his/her?own behavior.*?Each member of the team must be willing to help any other team member?who asks for help.*?Ask the teacher for help when all team members have the same question.*?Use a team voice.?TechnologyStudents will be empowered to continue their study of mathematics because?of technology?incorporated with the lesson— TI-Graphing Calculator Technology, Online Instruction from?web?sites such as?Khan Academy?or? HYPERLINK "" \t "_blank" CollegeBoard: SAT Practice?and Power Point?presentations.??Exposure to such technology enhances their knowledge about career research and?preparation.?School-to-CareerStudents will be collaborative workers as they take an active role in learningwith a variety of instructional formats, such as small groups, individual exploration,peer instruction, whole-class discussion, and project work.-----------------------PLEASE COMPLETE THIS PORTION AND RETURN TO MATH CLASS-------------------Return this completed page only.First Homework:It is the student’s first homework assignment to return this signed and completed sheet to the very next class meeting after reading through it with his/her parents.
