Applications will be related to real word situations in all areas. Learning Outcomes: Students will demonstrate the ability to: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning Prerequisites for the course: 8th Grade Math Course Topics: Unit 1: Variables and Expressions (8 days) Variables and Expressions Order of Operations Evaluating Expressions Properties of Real Numbers Operations with Real Numbers Unit 2: Solving Equations (12-13 days) On, Two and Multistep Equations Literal Equations Unit Conversions Unit 3: Solving Inequalities (9-10 days) One, Two an dMultistep inequalities Graphing Inequalities on a number line Compund Inequalities Absolute Value Inequalities Unit 4: Functions (13-15 days) Function Notation Formalizing Relations and Functions Using Graphs to Relate Two Quanities Interpreting Expression and Functions in Context Writing a Function Rule Unit 5: Graphing Linear Equations (13-15 days) Coordinate Plane Rate of Change Slope Graphing Linear Equations using o Slope- intercept o Point-slope o Standard Form Unit 6: Graphing Nonlinear eequations and Inequalities (9- 10 days) Analyzing Graphs Graphing Nonlinear Transformations of Functions Sequences Graphing Inequalities Unit 7: Graphing Systems (10-11 days) Graphing Linear Systems Graphing Linear Inequality Systems Parallel and Perpendicular Graphing Nonlinear Systems Unit 8: Solving Systems Algebraically(9-10 days) Substitution Elimination Writing Systems from Context Unit 9: Polynomials (11-13 days) Properties of Exponents Operations with Polynomials Unit 10: Factoring (16-18 days) Factor ax2 +bx +c for a=1 Factor ax2 +bx +c for a ≠ 1 Differences of Squares Perfect Squares Differences and Sums of Cubes Unit 11: Solving Quadartic Equations (11-13 days) Finding roots/zers/x-intercepts Completing the square Quadratic Formula Unit 12: Statistics (8-9 days) Number Line Plots – Dot Plots, Histograms, Box Plots Compare and Interpret Measures of Center and Spread Creating Scatterplots Lines of Best fit Correlation vs. Causation Unit 13 – Probability, Radicals, and Trigonometry (15-17 days) Probability Radical Expressions and Equations Trig Ratios Unit 14- Radical Expressions and Equations Simplify Radical Expressions Solve Radical Equations TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS Textbook: Algebra 1 by Charles, Hall, Kenndy, Bellman, Bradd, Handlin, Murphy, and Wiggins; 2012, Pearson/Prentice Hall; ISBN #978-0-13-253148-1. Supplementary Materials: A scientific calculator is required. It must have logarithmic and exponential capabilities. A graphing calculator is encouraged. GRADING AND EVALUATION Grading procedure: : Grading scale: A: 93-100; B: 85-82; C: 75-83; D: 70-74; F: Below 70. Assignments and Evaluations: Assignments will be after each lesson with a quiz to follow. There will a test after each Unit. Attendance Policy: Please follow the Roane County Schools attendance policy. Testing Policies: Test after each unit with Semester Exams in December and May. SYLLABUS CHANGES The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus as long as the students are notified. OPTIONAL ITEMS (TO BE ADDED BY INDIVIDUAL FACULTY MEMBERS) Attendance is an important part of learning so please strive to be at school every day. Algebra 1 Consequences Mrs. Rogers 1. Warning Harriman High School 2. Detention-30 minutes The following materials must be brought to class each day 3. Detention-1 hour 4. Visit Mr. Clark 5. Pencil ONLY 6. Paper 7. Calculator ( a small scientific calculator that you know how to operate) 8. Small notebook for “Problems of the Day”. Grading 1. Chapter Test will count 45% 2. Quizzes will count 35% 3. Assignments which include classwork and any homework will count 20%. Assignments are graded on the effort made to complete the work as well as correctness. Work must be shown on all problems to back up your answer in order to get credit. Remember neatness counts. Classroom Conduct 1. Bottled water only in the classroom. This could be taken away if problems arise. 2. Teacher desk is off limits to students. 3. Students will NOT operate the air conditioner, lights, blinds, windows, or teacher computer stations. 4. Students will be in their seats when the tardy bell rings or will be counted tardy. 5. Students will stay in their seats until the bell rings to end class. There will be NO lining up at the door to leave before the end bell rings. 6. Students will NOT talk while the teacher is talking. 7. All school rules will be followed at all times. Important Information 1. Students are responsible for work missed due to excused absences. Students will have the same number of days absent to complete the missed work. 2. Students must bring an absentee slip to class when the class is missed. 3. Missing class the day before a scheduled class test will not excuse the student from the test if the test was announced when the student was in class. 4. Cheating = 0 Substitute Policy 1. Students will respect the substitute 2. Students will follow directions given by the substitute 3. If a substitute teacher leaves a student name in a negative way (teacher will decide) then the students will receive a minimum of 1 hour detention no questions ask. To Whom It May Concern: I am highly recommending that each student purchase their own scientific calculator for math class this year. There will be times that your student will have homework and a calculator will be necessary. A few good inexpensive scientific calculators are the TI-30IIS, CASIO fx-300ES plus, CASIO fx-260, etc. Wal-Mart carries all of the mentioned calculators. Your student has seen in class what they need for math class. I have a few calculators that can be checked out for the school year in the event that your student is unable to purchase one of their own. Please send a note with your student letting me know of the need to check them out a calculator for the school year. When a student checks out a calculator for the school year they are agreeing to turning it back in at the end of the school year in the condition they received it and if it is lost they must replace it.
