Teacher: Armenia Davis

 

I am very excited to have you in my Math 3 Honors class this semester!!  Each of you will do wonderful, learn lots, and be successful, even with this Covid19 going on - My Motto ---    WORK HARD = BE SMART      Nothing can stop you from learning if you want to learn and Nothing can make you learn if you don't want to learn - - - I'm here to help you reach your math goals !!

 

GOALS: This is an Honors Class, therefore, I have very high expectations for all of my students.  

Math 3 is a state-mandated course for graduation with an EOC (maybe :0).  We will build on student’s knowledge from Math 1 and 2.  The units covered include an analysis of functions including absolute value, piecewise, polynomial, and rational functions; geometry with an emphasis on circles, triangles and parallelograms; and statistics. 

 

SUPPLIES: Each student is required to have a Chromebook (school supplied), working calculator(time to buy, if possible) or you may use Desmos which is on your Chromebook,  paper, graph paper, plain paper, large supply of pencils, and erasers, and a very flexible attitude.  Something to take clear and readable pictures  of your work to upload.

 

ABSENCES:  Students should make every effort to be IN class every day - that means log in and ready to go when class starts!     If you miss the class it will be uploaded ASAP  in Modules on Canvas but it takes a while and is a bit grainy (so be here everyday).  It is your responsibility to view it and view supporting documents before saying 'I don't get it'  All test will be taken while you are online and uploaded at the end of the testing period.  Make-up tests will need to be scheduled with me by you (your responsibility)

 

GRADING POLICY: 

   60% Summative Assessments  (40% test and 20% quizzes)   

    40% Formative Assessments  ( homework, class practice, etc)       

 

STUDENT HELP:  First work hard and ask questions in class!, let me know of problem areas and I will try to continue discussion during class or the following day.   I would like to say I will be available to answer all questions all the time  - but realistically, I'm being asked to do a lot.  My pledge is to do the best I can everyday. You are important to me !!  I want to be a great teacher for you during this time.  Check Module for extra problems I have worked out.   I will upload there when I have been asked a question I feel the class could be struggling with.  Students are encouraged to form study groups outside of class  (That’s the way you make it in college)  - study groups should be virtual -  and use the internet to research topics but not copy things you don’t understand!

 

 

PARENT ALERT - If you or your child is having problems with a certain topic, there are several ways to find help.

 

       HAVE A GREAT SEMESTER!!

       Sincerely and with Much Excitement,                       

        Armenia Davis

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) and Students,

 

Welcome !, I’m very excited you are in my Math 3 class.  Each of you will do wonderful, learn lots, and be successful.

Math 3 is a state-mandated course for graduation with an EOC, so attendance is crucial.  We will build on student’s knowledge from Math 1 and 2.  The units covered include an analysis of functions including absolute value, piecewise, polynomial, and rational functions; geometry with an emphasis on circles, triangles and parallelograms; and statistics.  Our daily course lessons and assignments can be found on CANVAS.

 

. Expectations:  I expect each student to:

  • Be Respectful!
  • Be on Time!
  • Be Prepared!
  • Be Focused!
  • Be Positive!

 

 General Structure:  Homework is handed in at the beginning of class and the warm-up is completed.   After the warm-up we will have our lesson – with notes, practice, and activities.  When you have a question, do not call out, wait to be recognized. – Participation is a MUST !!   Homework is found on CANVAS.

Homework is not excepted late and is assigned daily Monday - Thursday  (sometimes on Friday)

Students must show work on all assignments and it must be in pencil.

 

Policies:  CHEATING will NOT be allowed, both giver and taker will receive zeros.  You may help a classmate by explaining how to work a problem.  You are never to have another’s paper in your possession or send pictures via phone.  TARDY: Students are expected to be in the classroom (passed the door frame) when the bell begins to ring. Consequences for being tardy are outlined in the BHS Student Code of Conduct.

ALL school policies are in effect at ALL times in this classroom, including use of cell phones.  Please make sure that you and your parents read the BHS Student Code of Conduct in the student handbook carefully.

 

Grading Policy:        40% -Tests/Projects

                                           20% - Quizzes; 

                                           40% - Classwork/Homework Assignments

Help is given daily in class, during remediation and additional help sessions can be scheduled – see me.   

 

Materials needed:  A 3-ring binder, loose-leaf paper, graph paper, pencils, erasers, graphing calculator (TI-84 or TI-83 family); and a good attitude.  NOTE YOU may use a spiral notebook for notes, but still need loose-leaf paper for class work.   Books are available to be checked out!

 

Absences: First BE HERE if at all possible!  All make-up work is the student’s responsibility.  Class lessons and assignments are found on CANVAS and notes should be obtained from a classmate.  Ask me before or after the bell for any needed work missed. School policy for each day absent you get 2 days to make up.

 

Consequences for Choosing to Disrupt the Learning Environment: Redirect/Refocus, student/teacher conference, parent call, office referral.  – We are all here to learn – Let’s work together to make it happen!

 

PowerSchool: Students and Parents/Guardians: PowerSchool is Franklin County Public School’s online site for receiving current, up-to-date information about your student’s progress in all four of their classes. Students and parents/guardians are able to view progress reports and track their performance throughout the semester. You never have to wait to receive grade information again!

Notifications:  We are all using “FindOutFirst” for emails and texts – Please! Please! Please! sign up to receive text on your phone.  Parents make sure you email and phone numbers are up to date in the school office.

 

I am looking forward to a great semester!  It will be my pleasure to work with you and your student.  If you need to contact me for any reason, please do not hesitate to send an email, armeniadavis@fcschools.net.    Please make sure that you and your student sign and return the attached form to confirm that you have read this letter and understand the expectations for this course.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Davis
