Wow, school is right around the corner, yeah! I am excited to meet all my new students and catch up with the old ones. Below I have posted class outlines and policies for both Algebra I and II. Students will recieve a copy of these on day 1. I have also posted necessary supplies for both Algebra I and II below so that students and parents can take advantage of those great deals before school starts. Students are expected to have a pencil and paper on the first day. Enjoy the last few days of summer break.
Algebra I
Syllabus : 
Algebra I - Class Outline.doc
Classroom Policies : Algebra I - Classroom Policies.doc
Schedule and Assignments :
Necessary class supplies
-
pencils
-
erasers
-
3 - dry erase markers (dark colors)
-
loose leaf paper
-
50 pennies
-
scientific calculator (A basic scientific calculator will get you through this class, but investing in a TI-83 or 84 will be necessary for higher level math classes.)
In our first unit, Statistics and Real Number System, we will work with data analysis methods of mean, median, and mode as well as learning how to construct and read various data displays. We will discuss the real number system and its properties as well as learn about the binary number system. This is a three week long unit due on September 12th. If you are falling behind on your classwork stay after before the unit is due.
Our first Friday test is a basic skills diagnostic test. It is important that student's basic skills are at a level to ensure success in Algebra I. If a student performs poorly on this test, they will be asked to either put in extra work to catch up their skills or enroll in the basic math class.
