Course Description: The purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the
middle grades. In conjunction with Common Core Math I, this course deepens and extends understanding of linear
relationships, in part by contrasting them with exponential and quadratic phenomena, and in part by applying linear
models to data that exhibit a linear trend. In addition to studying bivariate data, students also summarize, represent, and
interpret data on a single count or measurement variable. The Geometry standards that appear in this course formalize and
extend students geometric experiences to explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of
geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply
throughout each course and, together with the content standards, require that students experience mathematics as a
coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.

Tutorial Information: ALL students are required to attend one tutorial within the first 3 weeks of 1st quarter. After
each progress report attendance requirements for tutorials are based on the student's grade as follows:
A & B - No tutorial requirement
C - Must attend once in the 3 week period
D & F - Must attend tutorial once a week for the 3 week period

Grading Policies and Procedures:

1. Copying or Cheating - Copying on ANY assignment, including tests, will result in a zero.
2. Homework will be assigned between 3-5 nights a week. Late homework will not be accepted.
3. In the event of an absence, tests and projects that have been pre-announced will be due the day the
student RETURNS to school.
4. All students are allowed to do test corrections on any test to bring that score up to but not above a 60.
Corrections must be done during tutorial.

5. Late work or missing assignments will be accepted until the week before the end of the quarter.
Classroom Rules:
1. Be Respectful - to yourself, your peers, your classroom, AND your teacher
2. Be Responsible - individual responsibility and responsibility as a group member
3. Be an Active Learner - paying attention, participation in all activities, asking questions, and good note taking.
4. Ask for help when needed!! - publically (during class) or privately (during group or individual work or after
class).
5. ALWAYS strive to do your best!!

Classroom Expectations:
1. Be Prompt - come to class on time every day. You are expected to be seated in the classroom before the tardy bell.
2. Be Prepared - come with everything that you need for class.
3. Be Productive - make the most of your time in math class.
4. Be Proactive - this is your education. What do you need to do to get the success you want?
5. Be Professional - professionals are organized and self-determined. They hold themselves accountable for their own
choices.
