Treasure Coast High School Algebra 1
Treasure Coast High School Algebra II/Alg II Honors
2011-2012
Ms. Webb’s Classroom Procedures
Course Description: The purpose of this course is to continue the study of algebra and to provide the foundation for applying algebraic skills to other mathematical and scientific fields. A scientific calculator will be integrated throughout the curriculum.
In mathematics, students will acquire the knowledge and skills to problem solve, communicate, reason, create models and make connections. (Algebra II Honors parallels Algebra II, but is more rigorous and includes additional topics.)
Major Concepts/Content:
The content should include, but not be limited to, the following:
• structure and properties of the complex number system
• arithmetic and geometric sequences and series
• relations, functions and graphs extended to polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions
• varied solution strategies for linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities
• varied solutions strategies, including the quadratic formula, for quadratic equations
• conic sections and their applications
• data analysis, including measures of central tendency and dispersion
• probability, permutations, and combinations
Tardies
You will be marked tardy if you are not in the classroom when the bell rings
Textbooks
Bring all required materials to class daily
Homework Assignments
Homework will be given daily and will be written on the board and verbalized. We will regularly check the assignments in class. I will always check that every student has attempted each problem with work shown which will give you credit for the homework. If I find that is not the case with some students, I will collect all students’ work instead of students checking in class. Do not be that student! I will still collect homework to check for understanding and accuracy. It’s expected that the work will be done for the next class day unless otherwise specified.
Sharpening Pencils, and Cleaning Up
No one is to go to the pencil sharpener (or be out of their seat) when the teacher or classmate is talking. No “free throws” in the garbage and ask to leave your seat to get up and throw your garbage away. Always clean up around your seat before you leave.
Late Assignments
Not Accepted.
Make-Up Work
Students will be allowed to turn in any work that was missed as a result of an absence. Student has 1 day to make up the work for each day absent, not including the day of return. Makeup work for unexcused absences (U) will receive a maximum grade of 59%. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed via “homework buddies”-other students, mswebbmath., or the absent folder in class. You may ask me to clarify what was assigned when you were gone if you are still unclear. You may get notes from other students to aid in the understanding of concepts learned or use mswebbmath. to look at class notes.
Substitutes
Misbehavior for a substitute will result in disciplinary action. I expect you to treat guests in our building with respect and courtesy.
Silence Signal
When my hand goes up, everyone else should raise theirs and their discussions should stop. When the lights go off, that is also my signal that I need your attention right away.
