 Course Description: In conjunction with OCS Locally Developed Math Elective, the purpose of this course is to deepen and extend students understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend. Additionally, students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions, are introduced to operations with real numbers and polynomials, and are asked to explain and use volume formulas. Finally, students work with application of linear, quadratic and exponential functions.

Attendance: Students who miss ten or more days of this period are in violation of the FCS Attendance Policy and may be required to repeat the course.

 

Tardy Policy: The following is our new SCHOOL WIDE POLICY: Students are expected to be in the classroom (past the door frame) when the bell begins to ring. Consequences for being tardy are outlined in the BHS Student Code of Conduct.

 

Grading Policy: FCS Grading Policy: A = 90 to 100, B = 80 to 89, C = 70 to 79, D = 60 to 69, F = Less than 60. The final course grade will be calculated by averaging each of the student’s nine weeks grades (at 40% weight each) and Final Exam grade (at 20% weight). Final letter grades will be assigned based upon the resulting average and using the scale above.

 

Grade Distribution for my class: 30% Summative 70%Formative

 

Make-up Work: Students are allowed two school days to make-up any missed assignment for every one day they are absent. After the two-day period has passed, any missing assignments become late work.  Quizzes need to be made up prior to the end of the current unit. Students have until the next scheduled test to make up a missed test. It is the student’s responsibility to visit the course Canvas page or the Absent-work binder in the classroom and get the assignments they’ve missed.
