Course Description - College Readiness Mathematics is a fourth course option for students who have completed Algebra I or Coordinate Algebra, Geometry or Analytic Geometry, and Algebra II or Advanced Algebra, but are still struggling with high school mathematics standards essential for success in first year post-secondary mathematics courses required for non-STEM majors. The course is designed to serve as a bridge for high school students who will enroll in non-STEM post-secondary study and will serve to meet the high school fourth course graduation requirement. The course has been approved by the University System of Georgia as a fourth mathematics course beyond Algebra II or Advanced Algebra for non-STEM majors, so the course will meet the needs of college bound seniors who will not pursue STEM fields.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of CCGPS Algebra II.

** I will not be issuing textbooks. The Student-Manual-College-Readiness-Mathematics.pdf will be available on line for students to use at home.
Grades for the semester will be determined as follows:
Notebook .................... 50 A ............................. 585 - 650 90 - 100 %
Homework ................. 300 B ............................. 520 - 578.5 80 - 89 %

TOTAL POINTS 650
Expectations – Supplies
1. Be Respectful 1. Notebook – 3 ring binder
2. Be Responsible 2. Notebook paper
3. Be Studious 3. Pencils with erasers
4. Graphing Calculator (TI-84)/Provided by teacher
Homework Policy - Every student will start the semester with a 100% for their homework grade. Each time the student does not complete an assignment, 5 points will be deducted from that grade. Every assignment will be checked for completion and accuracy then gone over for understanding. Late assignments will be accepted for minimal credit.
Attendance –If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get notes from a classmate. We will follow the school’s guidelines for make-up work. Please be aware there is a time limit for make- up work.
Food – You may not bring food or drinks of any kind to class. Please leave lunch for lunch time.
Cell phones – Cell phones will not be part of our learning environment. Please place your cell phone in a safe place until after class.
I-pods and other electronics – I-pods will not be needed. If a lesson calls for a special electronic device, I will notify you ahead of time. Please leave all electronics at home with the exception of calculators.
