GRADING SCALE FOR ALGEBRA 2 PROGRESS REPORT: -Interim progress report available at the end of each 4th week.   GRADING SYSTEM The students’ grades will be based on the following system: A = 100 - 90 Outstanding progress A = 3.50 and above B = 89 - 80 Above average progress B = 2.50 - 3.49 C = 79 - 70 Average progress C = 1.50 - 2.49 D = 69 - 60 Lowest acceptable progress D = 1.00 - 1.49 F = 59 - 0 Failure F = 0.00 - 0.99 I 0 Incomplete I 0 CLASSWORK:- 1; PARTICIPATION:- 1 GRADE; QUIZ:- 2 GRADE; TEST:- 3 GRADES

. SUPPLIES REQUIRED FOR ALGEBRA 2 E. SUPPLIES REQUIRED FOR THIS ALGEBRA II HONORS CLASS One 2.0 three-ring binder FIVE dividers labeled: ‘CLASS REQUIREMENTS, Daily Activities, BELL-RINGER, VOCABULARY, & OTHER. Lined paper (many, many packs). One FSA recommended calculator (TI30Xa. Many pencils (#2). One graph book. These items must be in class every day.

FSA RECOMMENDED CALCULATOR (TI-30Xa)

ASSIGNMENTS Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and generally due the following day (at the beginning of class). Though assignments are generally not graded, I retain the right to grade homework for completeness and effort, and at times for accuracy. Homework checks/pop quizzes will be one or twice per week. Adequate time is allowed to complete the homework check provided the student has completed his or her assignment. See the Killian website for more information on the classroom procedure.

Tests & Quizzes Quizzes will be given on a regular basis. Quizzes may or may not be announced, so students must be prepared by asking questions if they do not understand something. You must show all your work on quizzes to receive full credit. Tests will be cumulative in nature so students must be sure that they keep reviewing prior topics that have been covered. Tests will be announced at least two days prior to the day that it is given. Students will receive review questions prior to each test in order to prepare them for the test. They will be expected to complete these problems and ask any questions prior to the test. I will not answer questions during the test.

WHAT DO WE DO IN THIS MATHEMATICS CLASS? THE FLORIDA STANDARDS: Based on the Florida Standards Initiative, mathematics teachers are expecting our students to be Mathematically proficient. Students are expected to start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. They also make conjectures, build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. In other words, you have to justify the solutions to your answers by creating a coherent representation of a problem identifying relationships among quantities and their units (work must be shown). CLASSWORK and HOMEWORK WILL BE CHECKED for every competency covered in this class. Home work will be collected and checked randomly. Work must be shown for each test item. NO WORK!! NO CREDIT!! A number grade of 0 will be awarded for no work.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE STUDENT ATTENDANCE : Any student who has been absent from school will be marked unexcused absent until she/he submits the required documentation. Failure to provide required documentation within three (3) school days upon the return to school will result in an unexcused absence. A student accumulating ten (10) or more class unexcused absences in an annual course or five (5) or more class unexcused absences in a designated semester course may have quarterly, semester and final grade(s) withheld pending an administrative screening and completion of assigned interventions by the Attendance Review Committee. CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT: Parents/guardians can access the COSC in English, and Spanish on the M-DCPS’ website at ehandbooks.dadeschools.net/policies/90/index.htm 

KILLIAN WEBSITES FOR ALGEBRA 2 On this website you will find the agenda and other related ALGEBRA 2 materials. ***I strongly recommend the usage of the website below: www.khanacademy.com; I will be assigning practice examples for students to reinforce concepts covered in class. ANOTHER RELATED WEBSITES: WWW.BRIGHTSTORM.COM Great site, can help with ALGEBRA 2. However, it will cost you a minimum of $10.00 per month to use this site. It will worth it.
