Course Description:
Algebra 2:
This course is an extension of the Algebra 1 curriculum. Topics that were first introduced in Algebra 1 will be built upon and applied to problems that require higher order thinking skills. Additional topics will also be introduced in a variety of methods, including self-discovery activities, and teacher led class discussions. Fundamental skills of mathematics will be applied to such topics as functions, equations and inequalities, probability and statistics, logarithmic and exponential relationships, quadratic and polynomial equations, and matrices.
Geometry:
This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry. Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed. It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures.
Grading:
Students will be evaluated throughout each nine weeks period using homework, classwork, quizzes, and tests. Student averages are calculated using weighted averages. Homework accounts for 10%, classwork accounts for 20%, quizzes account for 30%, and tests account for 40% of a student's overall average.
In an effort to address the procrastination exhibited by some students, I have adopted a policy that sets a deadline for submitting assignments.
Grades will be entered weekly beginning with the second week of each quarter.
Submitting Assignments Late:
Homework and classwork that is submitted on or before the due date will receive full credit.
Any correctly completed past due assignment that is one week or less past due will receive a score of 70.
Any correctly completed past due assignment that is more than one week past due will receive a score of 50.
Any graded assignment that is not submitted will receive a score of zero, 0.
Late work will not be accepted during the last week of any quarterly grading period.
Extenuating circumstances, such as extended illness and inclement weather, will be taken into consideration.
Extra Credit Policy: Extra credit is not offered for any of my classes.
If a student is failing due to receiving zeroes for homework or classwork, then, correctly completed missing assignments can be submitted for a partial credit score of 50.
Homework and Classwork:
Homework and classwork will be checked regularly. At least 1 homework assignment and at least 1 classwork assignment will receive a grade each week.
Quizzes:
Some quizzes are scheduled on the syllabus. Others will be unannounced.
If a student scores below 70 on a quiz, then the student will be offered the opportunity to retake the quiz within one week. The maximum score for a quiz retake will be a 70. After one week, no quiz retakes will be allowed. Quiz retakes must be scheduled for the intervention period by the student.
Tests:
Tests are scheduled on the syllabus. If a student scores below 70 on a test, then the student will be offered the opportunity to retake the test within one week. The maximum score for a test retake will be a 70. After one week, no test retakes will be allowed. Quiz retakes must be scheduled for the intervention period by the student.
Classroom Rules:
1. Follow all Shelby County Regulations and Procedures found in the Student Handbook
2. Be Punctual
3. Be Prepared
4. Be Respectful
5. Be Responsible
Consequences:
Infractions will be addressed through the SCS Progressive Discipline Plan.
