APPLIED MATH II

2007-2008 SCHOOL YEAR

INSTRUCTOR: MRS. TURNER

ROOM 407

Materials needed: Folder with pockets, or a 3 ring binder, regular lead pencils, scientific calculator (fraction capabilities are strongly suggested), notebook paper for homework*

*If spiral notebook is used for homework, tear/cut off the fuzzies.

**Note taking will be required in this class.

Class Goals: Students will become familiar with Algebra and Geometry and their many functions in today’s world using a “hands-on” approach.

HOMEWORK:

**ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE TO BE DONE IN PENCIL!!**

(Work that is not done in pencil will be handed back to the student to redo.)

1. Method of heading papers: All assignments must have your name, class, and assignment.

2. Homework is required and you will be given point credit for all work that is collected (at the discretion of the teacher.)

3. Homework assignments are worth full points on the DAY they are due, and must be in MY POSESSION when I leave the building. 20% will be deducted for each day an assignment is late.

4. If you are absent from class for any reason it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find out what you missed. You are responsible for any material that was covered in your absence. There are three ways to obtain this information: 1) with your admit slip, 2) from a classmate, and 3) from the posted assignment sheet.

5. If you are absent, you will be given 2 days from the day you return to class for any make-up assignments. It is a good idea to write “MAKE-UP” on these assignments when they are turned in.

6. Keep all homework assignments in your Math Notebook. The homework makes an excellent review for tests, and you will be required to turn in your notebook at the end of each quarter.

QUIZZES/TESTS:

1. Quizzes can be given any day of the week at any time during the class and will cover only the material we have covered in class. Quizzes usually range from 10 to 25 points.

2. Tests will be given about every 2-3 weeks.

3. Make-up quizzes will be given to you upon your return to class if time permits, or within one week.

4. Test reviews must be completed and turned in before you will be allowed to take the test. If your review is not completed, you will be sent to the principal’s office for the remainder of the class period to finish the review. During this time you will call home and arrange for a time BEFORE or AFTER school to make up the test. You will have one week to make up the test, or receive a zero.

5. Make-up tests will be made up on YOUR time. This usually means before or after school, with some exceptions. If you do not show up for a scheduled make-up test, you will receive a ZERO. Make-up tests must be made up within one week of return or you will receive a zero.

6. Regular tests will usually be worth 100 points, while Quarter Tests and Finals may be up to 200 points.

ACTIVITIES/PROJECTS:

1. Activities and projects may be done individually, in pairs, or in small groups.

2. Work will be graded using both individual participation and final outcome grades.

3. Activities and projects will range in point value from 10 to 200 points, where 10 points might be a short activity in class, and 200 points might represent an individual project taking the place of a Quarter Test or Semester Final.

NOTEBOOKS:

1. Notebooks will be turned in every quarter.

a) 2^nd quarter notebook will include 1^st quarter notebook,

b) 4^th quarter notebook will include 3^rd quarter notebook,

c) 1^st and 2^nd quarter notebooks will NOT be included with 3^rd and 4^th quarter notebooks.

2. Notebooks will NOT be accepted late. They must be turned in on time, NO EXCEPTIONS!

3. You are expected to have your notebook in the order stated on the “Table of Contents” given at the end of each quarter.

4. Notebooks submitted in reverse order will automatically be reduced to half-credit of the notebook score based on student work.

GRADES:

The grading scale is:

98% and up A+ 86%-89% B+ 76%-79%C+ 66%-69% D+ 94%-97% A 83%-85% B 73%-75% C 63%-65% D 90%-93% A- 80%-82% B- 70%-72% C- 60%-62% D-

59% and under F

MISCELLANEOUS:

1. Restroom privelegesà 3 “freebies” per SEMESTER. After 3, you will not be allowed to go, or, in case of urgency, you may take a tardy. [You must have YOUR planner!]

2. I am available for help before and after school. I arrive at school by 7:50 am, and leave at 4:45 pm most days.

3. Calculators and “Buddy Books” will not be shared on tests or quizzes. Failure to follow this rule will result in a zero for all students involved.

4. Be prepared for class every day. Teacher will not loan calculators or pencils.
