Welcome to Math 30-2!

Honestly, some of the math is fun to do and other parts are pretty boring, but you will probably never need to know this material again in your daily lives. However, the learning process is the life long material you will take with you.

Course Format

Formative problem work (“practice problems”) is assigned and students are expected to use all available class time to complete it, regardless of the fact that it does not generate any immediate marks. Students are to self-check their own progress with the solutions. During formative time, students should be seeking assistance and clarification from the teacher. This formative time is vital to success in the course.

Weekly quizzes/assignments will be scheduled to help students stay on top of the course material.

The pace and intensity of this course requires regular attendance and consistent effort.

Student Resources

- Principals of Mathematics 12, Nelson

- Your own graphing calculator. Students may use any calculator on the approved list put out by Alberta Education. However, all demonstrations will be done on Texas Instruments TI 84+ Calculator

Re-writes are available for all unit exams. However, re-writes are only given after all course work has been completed for that unit and the student has had a meeting with the teacher regarding any other requirements that need to be met before the re-write can be completed.

A deferred assessment on a test/unit exam may be given to students only when exceptional circumstances prevent the student from writing at the scheduled time. Advance notice must be provided whenever possible. It is up to the student to make arrangements to re-write the test/exam as soon as possible upon returning to school. Any missed tests/exams will be award a mark of zero.

All test and exam assessment question books remain the property of the Science department and students will not be allowed to keep them.

There is no deduction for late assignments/ labs, but as soon as an assignment/lab is handed back, I will no longer accept that assignment. Assignments/labs not handed in will be given a zero. However, all assignments/labs that are overdue can be completed for marks during FOCUS block only. Special circumstances will be handled individually.

Missed Classes

For students who have or will be missing class for various reasons, it is expected that you are responsible for the work and lessons covered in class via another student or accessing the course material online at
