Integrated Math 3 - NC Math II



NC Math 2Adison Paceadison.pace@mathatdsa.WELCOME BACK!!We have an exciting year planned in Math 2! We will expand on the mathematical strands from Math 1 and continue to deepen your knowledge and understanding of mathematics. Units in Math 2 include Modeling Functions Graphically, Modeling with Functions and Equations, Modeling with Geometric Structures, Modeling Geometry Algebraically, and Applications with Probability. We will explore these strands of mathematics using a variety of learning strategies such as cooperative learning, investigative activities, class discussions, and student presentations…just to name a few!MaterialsEach student will need the following items:*Three-ring binder (no spiral notebooks)*Time Tracker*Pencils*Graph Paper*Loose-leaf paper*Graphing Calculator (4AAA Batteries)Grading PercentagesQuizzes & Tests65%Quizzes will be given periodically. Tests will be given at the end of each unit. Tests will be weighted more heavily than quizzes. The only way to succeed in this category, is to be focused on classwork and HW before the test on that topic.Classwork and Homework25%Classwork and homework will be checked on a regular basis for effort. Selected assignments will be collected and graded for correctness. Assignments graded for correctness will weigh more heavily than an effort assignment. Warm Ups10%Warm-ups are used for daily review and practice. Warm up checks will happen weekly to ensure that students are engaged in the lesson of the day.Math 2 Tutoring ScheduleEach Math 2 teacher will offer tutoring one day a week for ALL Math 2 students. To make the most of tutoring sessions, students should come with notebooks, textbooks, applicable worksheets or handouts, and specific questions.Tutoring ScheduleMonday4:15-5:00 pmMs. Avery S107Tuesday8:30-9:05 amMs. Haywood S103BWednesday8:30-9:05 amMs. Pace S107Thursday8:30-9:05 amMr. Maultsby S209Missing Homework PolicyHomework that is missing or not completed in a satisfactory manner CANNOT be made up. If for some reason you cannot complete the assignment on time, you must notify your teacher prior to the time it’s due.Honors Description There is an honors track and a college prep track available for this course. College prep and honors students will be graded on the same scale for classwork, homework, and warm-ups. Assessments will be different for honors and college prep students. Additionally, honors students will frequently have additional/different problems for homework. Students who choose to pursue honors credit must turn in a signed honors contract no later than Friday, September 1st. Anyone who signs up for the honors track has until January 12th, 2018 to move out of honors into the college prep track (must be done in writing). From that point on, honors students stay on the honors track the entire school year and college prep students stay on the college prep track the entire school year. Students who do not earn a 70 or higher for the 1st 9 weeks will be transferred from Honors into College Prep. No changes will be made to the numerical grade for the 1st 9 weeks.Academic Honor Code PhilosophyAcademic dishonesty (cheating) is a serious problem and occurs whenever submitted work is not uniquely your own.? As academic requirements and expectations have grown, some students have opted to take short cuts.? These short cuts not only take away from the students’ learning but also undermine the entire education process.? ?Examples of academic dishonesty can range from (but are not limited to):Copying someone’s homework Texting answers/questions to a test Discussing answers to a test with someone who hasn’t taken the test yet Rewording or copying passages from a book or article and not citing the source Cutting and pasting from online sources to create an assignment that one claims to be original work product.Purchasing an assignment or having someone else complete your assignment Looking at someone else’s paper Using online translators for assignments in a foreign language Class ExpectationsYou are expected to…Be respectful to everyone and everything.Be in your seat, prepared to begin class with sharpened pencil, homework on desk or turned in, and working on the posted warm-up when the bell rings.Work in groups everyday.Be responsible for yourself and your actions.Abide by the Honor Code.Keep all hats, cell phones, CD players, MP3 players, and any inappropriate electronic devices in your locker or book bag. If such items are seen during school hours (9:15 – 4:15), they will be confiscated and will turned into the main office.Check the assignment folder when you enter the classroom and find out what work you missed while absent.Do your best. NotebooksSuccess in a math class is dependent on many factors.? One very important factor is organization of work.? Students will be required to keep a math notebook and follow the guidelines listed below.ALL work is to be done in PENCIL. Students will use a three-ring binder with loose-leaf notebook paper.The notebook will be organized in a chronological order based on date and assignment number.Do not divide up your notebook into sections for notes/classwork/HW/formulas. Keep it chronological.Each daily assignment should be labeled clearly with assignment, page number, and learning goal.ALL papers must be kept in the notebook a (not the textbook).? Absences/TardinessIf you are absent for any reason, it is YOUR responsibility to obtain the work you missed. If you have an excused absence, you will have five (5) days to complete any missed work. Quizzes and tests should be made up during tutoring or during your lunch; you will NOT be given class time to make up work. Make-up work is your responsibility – you get the assignment from the make up folder, you do it and you turn it on time to the designated area.What can you expect from YOUR TEACHER?The majority of this syllabus is related to my expectations of you. But, just as important, what can you expect from me? As your math teacher, I will be prepared every day with quality lessons to help you succeed in math class. I will establish classroom rules and procedures to help you do your best and provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment. I will develop systems to help students organize their work and effectively study for quizzes and tests. I will hold students accountable for their actions and set high standards for achievement. I will create a friendly classroom where students feel safe and comfortable asking for help.Wish ListThe items listed below are things the students will use regularly in class.
