HONORS ALGEBRA2 SYLLABUSTEACHER: Linda CoulsonCLASS EXPECTATIONS1. Expect to learn something every day. Be prepared. Have your supplies ready, including your Chromebook (charged), book, and a pencil. Work completed in pen will not be accepted. 2. Covered drinks are acceptable. I usually have a pot of coffee available to share, but you are responsible for bringing a cup with a lid. No visible food.3. If you MUST use the restroom, sign out (including time), pick up the hall pass on a lanyard hanging on the door, and sign back in (including time) when you come back into class. You may only use the restroom in an emergency, you are expected to stay in class. 4. Expect to have homework every night. My goal is 45 minutes, although I realize students work at different speeds. You should be working on your school work WITHOUT snapchat, YouTube, putlocker, Spotify or other distractions. The best way to develop mathematical skills is to work math problems, a lot of problems. If homework is taking too long or you are becoming frustrated, put it up and come in to school at 7:00 AM for tutoring. 5. Use google classroom daily (especially if absent!) to keep up with assignments. Use extra resources in google classroom and on the teacher website for additional help with the material. Ultimately, you are responsible for your own learning.CLASS COMUNICATION: Google Classroom: class code – 7o7cqzqRemind Notifications: text @32h3e2 to 81010TEACHER WEBSITE: Or go to the High school website, school staff, Linda CoulsonSTUDENT EVALUATION*20% Homework/Classwork - Completion grade. Normally worth 5pts. 2 lowest grades are dropped. HW/CW not normally accepted past the due date except in the case of excused absences. 80%Assessments - Graded for correctness, Quizzes, Tests, Projects*At the end of the semester students will take a state EOC. This will count as 15% of the total course grade.REMEDIATION Students are expected to correct every test and major quizzes taken. Provided all corrections are completed by the due date, one test and one quiz per 9 week grading period will be dropped. MAKEUP POLICIES: Excused absences are always a possibility during a semester. Please be in class, but when absences are unavoidable, make every effort to make up your missed work immediately. Assignments are posted on google classroom and/or class website.TUTORING: Because students learn at different rates, I realize that students can gain from having extra tutoring. I arrive at school each morning at 7:00 am to give my students this opportunity. This is a time to get homework help for the day’s assignment. It is not a time to begin the assignment. Also, during this time, a student may make up quizzes and tests. Please take advantage of this tutoring time if you feel you need it. COURSE DESCRIPTION Algebra 2 provides a review and extension of the concepts taught in Algebra 1. Topics covered will include equations and inequalities, coordinates and graphs, general functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions of angles and of real numbers, analytic trigonometry, systems of equations and inequalities, sequences and series. Graphing calculator and computer skills will be taught and used in this course. Throughout this course, students will develop learning strategies, critical thinking skills, and problem solving techniques to prepare for future math courses and college entrance exams.State Course Requirements: (select Algebra 2 from drop down menu)This course includes honor components such as1. A time value of money or rate of temperature change (exponentials) project (iii).2. An open-ended investigation into position (quadratics) in which the student designs the research (iv).3. Integration of technology such as motion detectors, graphing calculators, and temperature probes (vi).4. An exploration of the history of giants in the field of mathematics (vii).5. Extensive opportunities for critical analysis and application problem solving (viii)SBOE Honors: : Carnegie Learning: Algebra2 TEXTBOOK WEBSITE: NEEDED SUPPLIESA 3 ring binder to keep up with class notes, homework papers, and returned work.Earbuds (for use ONLY during class computer labs utilizing audio).Fine tip dry erase markers (at least 3 colors)Paper (notebook and graphing) Pencils Optional but helpful: Graphing calculator (TI Inspired)Colored pencils ................
