INTRO MATH
Welcome to Introductory Mathematics. I am Mr. Stanley and I am eager to
start the upcoming semester. I have some exciting activities arranged for
the semester. Hopefully you will learn a few things as the year
progresses. So let's begin and get the boring stuff out of the way
(materials needed, rules, grading procedures, etc.)
A. CLASS MATERIALS
You will need the following items in class everyday:
- pencils (no pens in this class)
- 3-ring binder with loose leaf paper and dividers
- Calculator (TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 family)
B. CLASS RULES
Please
print and sign a copy of the Class Expectations form on my website.
Consequences for breaking these rules are further outlined in the Student
Handbook.
C. GRADING
PROCEDURE
I will calculate grades using the point system according to the following
formula:
GRADE = points earned
X 100
total points possible
Homework is assigned DAILY so that you can benefit from the practice
of what is discussed in class. You are required to make up ALL
work (homework, quizzes, projects, and tests) that is missed due to
absences. Quizzes and tests are announced at the beginning of every unit;
therefore, if you are absent the day before a quiz or test (review day),
YOU WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE QUIZ OR TEST ON THE ASSIGNED DAY!
If you are absent on the day of the test or quiz, you will have 3 days
(excluding weekends) to make up the assignment. Tests may NOT
be made up during class time. You must schedule an appointment to make up
the work.
