Phone numbers: school: 896- 2213 Home: 896-2615
Course Description - Technical College Readiness Mathematics will examine numeracy, algebra, and geometry in a variety of contexts, including number sense, linear and non-linear relationships, functions and their graphs, and measurement and geometry. The course will provide an opportunity for students to review mathematics skills needed for success in Technical College and will extend students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and skills by emphasizing topics from Foundations of Algebra, Coordinate Algebra/Algebra I, Analytic Geometry/Geometry, and Advanced Algebra/Algebra II.
Prerequisites: Technical College Readiness Mathematics is designed to meet the needs of students who have passed Algebra I/Coordinate Algebra, have passed or are concurrently enrolled in Geometry/Analytic Geometry while taking this course, and intend to enroll in a technical college program. The course is aimed at students who have experienced difficulty in passing middle school mathematics End of Grade (EOG) assessments, have struggled significantly in the first two high school core mathematics courses, and have scored less than 34 on the ACCUPLACER Placement Assessment. The ACCUPLACER Placement Assessment will serve as the course post-test.
Grades for the semester will be determined as follows:
1st Eight Weeks
Notebook .................... 50 A ............................. 585 - 650 90 - 100 %
Homework ................. 300 B ............................. 520 - 578.5 80 - 89 %
Quizzes ...................... 150 C ............................. 455 - 513.5 70 - 79 %
Tests .......................... 150 F ............................. 0 - 448.5 0 - 69 %
_____
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
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 placeuntil 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.
