Course Information:
Course Description:
Welcome to Algebra 1b! J At Chippewa Falls Senior High School, students must earn three credits of math to graduate. This year long course is a continuation of Algebra 1a. In addition to reviewing and extending most of the concepts of Algebra 1a, this course covers the topics normally covered in the second semester of Accelerated Algebra 1. Class Materials: Pencils, easer, folder or binder. * Calculator-helpful, but not mandatory. Students will have access to calculators during class Class Expectations: This classroom is one where every person should feel welcome and respected. We need to treat each other in the same way that we wish to be treated. I expect my students to act safely, responsibly, productively, and respectfully. All are expected to follow the Student Code of Conduct found in the student handbook. Your handbook explains the school’s expectations for punctuality, academic integrity, and behavior, as well as the consequences. Final Notes:
Contacting Me and Extra Help: I am available for extra help or concerns in the morning before first hour, after school usually until 4:30pm, and during designated days at PRIME time. If you know that you will be coming in, it is always helpful to let me know in case I have a meeting, etc. Parents are also welcome and encouraged to contact me throughout the year with any questions or concerns. My contact information is listed at the top. Grading: The quarterly grades will be comprised of 90% Summative Tests and 10% Formative Activities (homework, mini assessments, projects, etc). Each quarter will typically include about 3-4 tests. What Does A Quality Homework Look Like? Homework will be worth 2 points for every assignment. Homework assignments that meet the quality level criteria listed below will receive 2 points. Assignments that are partially completed, but do not meet the quality level criteria will receive 1 point, and assignments that are completely blank will receive 0 points.
Extra Credit: Extra credit is rarely if ever provided in Algebra 1b. If an extra credit opportunity should arise, it will be given to the entire class. Students may not request extra credit on an individual basis. Infinite Campus and Grades: I will assume that you, as a conscientious student and parent, will be regularly monitoring your grades on Infinite Campus. I try to keep my grades as up-to-date and accurate as possible, but I am human and occasionally there will be errors (examples: assignment marked missing that isn’t, wrong score entered, etc.). Checking your grades regularly will allow you to politely alert me to any concerns when it is still possible to fix them (not three weeks after the end of the semester). |
