I. Course Description
The purpose of this course is to continue the study of algebra
and to provide the foundation for applying algebraic skills to
other mathematical and scientific fields.
The content should include, but not be limited to, the
following:
· Structure and properties of the complex number system,
· arithmetic and geometric sequences and series,
· relations, functions and graphs extended to polynomial,
exponential, and logarithmic functions -varied solution strategies
for linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and
inequalities -varied solutions strategies, including the quadratic
formula, for quadratic equations -conic sections and their
applications,
· data analysis, including measures of central tendency and
dispersion -probability, permutations, and combinations.
II. Assessment
A) Grades will be determined on a point system. Students will
receive points for every test, quiz, homework and classwork. To
find your grade you add up the total point you received and divide
by the total points will be your grade in the class.
B) (Scale:A: 90-100B: 80-89C: 70-79D: 60-69F: 59 and
below )Students are allowed to retake quizzes once and make
test corrections for half of their missing points.
C) Students will be graded on:
· Homework and class work
· Test and Quizzes
· Projects and Special Assignments
· State Grading Scale:
III. Materials
Textbook, only pencils, notebook or loose leaf paper, graph
paper and other materials.
IV. Expectations: B e HERE, Be PREPARED, Be RESPECTFUL, Be on
TASK, Be HONEST
· Be in your seat and working when the bell rings, and remain in
your seat until the dismissal bell rings.
· Bring all supplies and workbooks to class each day. (In your
locker does not count.)
· Follow all directions the first time they are given.
· Be respectful. This includes your attitude, your behavior, and
your comments.
· No food or drink other than water is allowed in class.
· All Patch High School rules found in the Student Code of
Conduct apply.
V. Quality Work:
· Is complete. That is, all problems are completed or at least
attempted.
· The supporting work for each problem is shown completely.
· The work is done neatly.
· The work is done accurately.
VI. Late Work
· Students with excused absents will have the same number of
days they were absent plus one extra day to turn in their
assignments/projects without loosing points.
· Late work will receive less credit than work turned in on
time.
· Late work will not be accepted after Chapter is completed.
VII. Extra help and Parent Contact
· To get help: Before school from 7:45- 8:00am, during Seminar
with a Seminar Pass only and after school from 2:40- 3:30 pm.
· Parent conferences are to be scheduled through the Guidance
Counselor.

NINJA CHALLENGE
Object of the Game:
Students will be divided into three teams.
One member from each team will be chosen to compete against each
other per round.
In each round, the challengers must use their impressive skills
to solve a problem using a pre-selected method. After a challenger
has finished solving the problem, he/she must present their work to
the sensei who judges the work for accuracy. To achieve true glory,
the solution must be correct upon which he/she must run to the
smartboard and hit their respective challenger button.
Rules of the Game
Points System:
Individual Challenges – Speed is not necessarily the key to
victory. The challenger with the most accurate solution wins.
Team Work – While the challengers compete for glory, each of
their teams are also completing the problems. That means, everyone
in the class must work out the problems at the same time! The team
with the most correct responses wins the respective round.
Pay Careful Attention to the Challenges!
Some challenges require the challengers to use different
methods
Other challenges require the challengers to use the same method
to achieve victory
