Course Description and Expectations



This course is the continuation of your mathematics sequence with an inductive approach to understanding the concepts and terminology of Algebra. Algebraic discoveries will be made through individual and group investigations. Important algebraic formulas will be derived and applied to solve "real world" problems

General Course Behavior

  • You are expected to respect and value yourself.
  • You are expected to contribute to the courses and work cooperatively whenever the situation requires.
  • You are expected to come to course prepared and you are responsible for all missing work
  • Bullying of any kind is not permitted in this classroom
  • You are expected to show work for all mathematics on homework, class work, tests and quizzes
  • Standing by the door does not mean you are in the course, if you are late you must sign my late book
  • You are expected not to talk while I am speaking or interrupt while other people are speaking.
  • There will be no getting out of your seat or speaking without permission. If you want to speak or get of your seat during course, raise your hand and wait to be recognized
