Algebra 1

Mr. Noteboom Room 213

Year (9-12)

Prerequisite: Intro-Algebra.

In Algebra I students will master solving and graphing linear operations, performing operations on and factoring polynomials and working with radicals. Daily written assignments are required in this class, and time outside of class will be needed to finish assignments.

Materials needed for class:

Notebook with paper

Pencil

Textbook

Learning in the class is not done solely by doing the assignments.

-Other learning activities in class are partner and groups explorations, worksheets, games, practice on dry erase boards, and the making of mathematical models.

-Good note taking skills are needed.

I do not know you know it Until:

I see you hear it.

I see you read it.

I see you write it.

and, I hear you say it.

Any absence or tardy, school excused or otherwise, is detrimental to your learning process.

Homework or Class Work:

-Due at the beginning of the next class after it is assigned.

-All work should be done legibly, with pertinent steps shown. This pertains to homework, board work, and tests. Set-ups should be written out (even if the final value of the answer will be obtained from a calculator).

-Assignments are graded in many ways. (All the assignments are graded every day in class for immediate feedback.)

Assignment Heading:

Name

Period

Page number and Problems

Any absence or tardy, school excused or otherwise, is detrimental to your learning process.

Possible Grading Methods:

-5 pts for assignments that have all the problems completed or attempted at the beginning of class. (Since all the problems are worked out in class or gone over in some way you will get 10 points for having it done and completed on time, no matter how many you miss. % points for having it done by the time we turn it in as a class. 0 points for an incomplete assignments.)

-5 pts for assignments that have all the problems completed or attempted at the beginning of class. Then another 5 points for five to six warm- up problems graded by the teacher.

-5 pts for assignments that have all the problems completed or attempted at the beginning of class. 1-4 points for attempted problems, assignments not completed. 1-5 pts for selected problems the teacher or his student TA grade. ( Since all the problems are worked out in class or gone over in some way you will get 5 points for having it done and completed on time, no matter how many you miss. The other 5 points come from the work you show on the 5 problems picked to grade by the teacher or TA)

-10 pts for completed assignments.

-The teacher collects them and grades them individually. ( You get 1 point for every problem correct or a range from 1-10 points.)

-Points will be deducted on assignments as follows:

3 points off for not showing work on problems that need work.

10 points off for coping another students work.

10 points off for allowing another student to copy your work.

-Excused absences will get full credit for completed work only.

-0 points for all work with unexcused absences, truancies, or school suspensions. (The work missed must be completed as part of the learning process. The 0 is a consequence for your misbehavior.)

-0 points for all assignments that are turned in incomplete. (Since all the assignments are gone over in class there should be no incomplete assignments. Therefore you will get a zero for incomplete work. Since we have tutorial every day those students absent also have no excuse for incomplete assignments.)

Make-Up Work: Work missed due to excused absences should be made up within one class of the student’s return. After this period of time, the teacher may deduct up to two points or 10% for each class it is late. In cases of extenuating circumstances, student and teacher may agree to other arrangements.

Late Work: Homework and worksheets are accepted late but 2 points or 10% of the assignment’s value is deducted for each class it is late. Students whoa re absent on the day when a worksheet is due will be penalized as outlined unless the work is turned in when the student returns, the absence has been officially excused and the excuse is submitted when the student returns to class.

Any absence or tardy, school excused or otherwise, is detrimental to your learning process.

Chapter Quizzes and Tests:

These are to evaluate if any learning and retention of the material covered is taking place.

Chapter Quizzes:

These are taken in the middle of every chapter.

Chapter Tests:

These are taken at the end of every chapter.

They are not returned for students to keep.

They are gone over in class and students can look at them in class for studying purposes. (This is done so tests can be reused. Subject area teachers are also using the same exams so data can be collected and used to make sure all teachers are teaching the same material and students are learning the same material. Students in the past have shared exams with other students resulting in cheating. Tests are not part of the learning process, they are the tool teachers use to see exactly what the students have retained and can apply in different situations. Hopefully all the work leading up to the test is the learning process.)

Semester Exams:

Cover’s the material learned that semester or the entire year. They are given school wide. All the same subject math classes will take the same semester exam.

Grading Policy: Grades are determined by percentage average computed by dividing the number of points a student has earned during the grading period by the number of points that were possible. Incomplete work counts as a zero for that assignment. Work is not “curved” and no grades are “dropped”. Points students will earn come from the daily assignments 10 points each, chapter terts 100 points each, and other work—quizzes, worksheets, reading, internet, and journals.

Extra credit problems are given occasionally, but they are generally more challenging work and should not be depended on to replace required work. Extra credit is never accepted late.

Grading Scale:

100-200 pts. Tests

50-100 pts. Quizzes

10-100 pts. Projects

0-10 pts. Assignments

A 90-100%

B 80-89 %

C 70-79 %

D 60-69 %

F 0-59 %

Rules-Rewards-Consequences

These rules are in effect at all times in the classroom.

2. Be in the classroom when the tardy bell rings

3. Bring Materials (Pencil, Paper, and Textbook)

4. Raise your hand to ask to leave your seat

5. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself

Rewards:

1. Break in the middle of class for math games

2. Listen to radio
