of linear and quadratic functions and graphing on the xy‐coordinate system. By the end
of this course, students will have all the knowledge necessary to solve and graph
equations and inequalities. They will also be able to apply this knowledge to other areas
of math, such as word problems, ratios and proportions.
The course starts off with a quick review of ba sic algebraic concepts, such as variables,
order of operations, exponents and problem solving skills. They will gain a thorough
introduction to functions, the basis of all of algebra and higher mathematics, such as
calculus. Students will learn how to solve linear equations, including multistep equations,
equations with multiple variables and equations involving decimals, as well as write a
linear equation based on the graph of a line. The Algebra 1 course also gives the
students a thorough introduction of functions and quadratic equations. They will learn
all the operations associated with the two, such as factoring and graphing. The end of
the course takes the students’ knowledge of algebra 1 one step further by introducing
them to some basic concepts of geometry.
Course Standard
Students will:
Understand basic function concepts – functions as relations, operations with
functions and composition of functions.
Understand the concepts of function transformations and their relationships to
the graphical representation of functions, reinforcing the idea of mathematics as
a descriptive language rather than mere symbol manipulation.
Solve quadratic equations and inequalities by appropriate means including
factoring, graphing, and the quadratic formula and completing the square.
Solve systems of linear equations and inequalities in two variables.
Know the characteristics of a normal distribution (68 – 95 – 99 rule) and use
these characteristics to estimate population percentages.
Select and apply appropriate counting procedures to determine the size of a
sample space and to calculate probabilities.
Solve problems by distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information and
determining whether or not relevant information is missing from a problem,
thus reinforcing critical thinking skills.
Explore the graphical representations of functions through the use of a
calculator – determine the meaning of “intersection”, “root”, “grater than”,
or“less than” in terms of a graphical representation, demonstrating that
mathematics is a language descriptive of aspects of the real world.
Use a graphing calculator to generate z‐scores to explore the characteristics of a
normal distribution.
Use exponential and logarithmic functions to solve mathematical and real‐world
problems. The solution of real world problems by mathematics demonstrates
the relation between mathematics and other disciplines.

Evaluation
Grading Homework
Homework Quiz – usually graded on a four point scale.
By Inspection During Class – Teacher will ask to see the work.
When Handed In – some homework assignments are to be turned in for
grading.
Late work is discounted 10% first class period, 25% the next class period,
and receives a zero if later than two class periods
A blank notebook receives an F for the homework and participation
portions of the class.
Grading Tests
Tests are 100 points each (sometimes extra credit is given on the test, so a
score over 100 is possible).
Partial credit is given, wherever possible, for correct work, you must SHOW
YOUR WORK to receive partial credit.
An incorrect answer with no work shown is fully discounted.
The semester final is worth 20% of your final grade.
Course Requirement
Be prepared for class with pencil, notebook, and book.
Be on task at the appropriate times.
Work with others in an appropriate manner.
Your contribution to class discussions is expected and appreciated.
‐ Notebook
You need a notebook that is dedicated to math.
DO NOT PURCHASE A ‘FIVE SUBJECT’ NOTEBOOK. You will be handing in the notebook
occasionally for the teacher to check homework, so it will not be available to you
Notebooks should be handed in during every test. The teacher is looking for:
Organization
Homework (not just the answers but the WORK)
The notebook is graded on a 5 point scale.
5 points: organized, all sections clearly delineated, all homework attempted.
0 points: no work or notebook missing on the day requested or obviously copied. ‐ Homework
Like any new language, you have to practice math or you will not learn it. You can
expect a homework assignment every day. Take notes, participate in class, the
homework will be a breeze.
Homework is your chance to test out, solidify, or ‘come to grip[s’ with what we’ve talked
about in class that day. It is graded when the teacher assess your notebook and in
homework quizzes.
Resad directions carefully
Write each separate assignment on a new sheet in your notebook.
MAKE HOMEWORK CORRECTIONS. Write them next to the original work, in the
margin, wherever. Try to underline your mistakes, so when you review for a test,
you’ll know what kind of thinking to avoid.
You will generally have between 10 – 30 problems (or more) for homework.
‐ Homework quizzes
You will have many homework quizzes. This test is closed book. You will be expected to
use your notebook. Problems are identified by page number, section number, and
problem number. Copy the work from your notebook onto the quiz sheet. Occasionally
there will be free response questions on these quizzes as well. On these quizzes, just
writing down the answer (unless appropriate) is insufficient and will be counted as an
incorrect response. ‐ Tests
Occur every two to three weeks.
Test will cover ANY MATERIAL WE HAVE DISCUSSE#D IN CLASS. Don’t just
assume the test will only cover the ‘new’ material. Anything we’ve had thus far
is fair game to be included. Unless otherwise indicated, tests are closed book.
On your test, always circle the final answer.
Always round to two decimal places.(9.21; NOT 9.2)
Always show your work – if the answer is wrong you may still receive partial
credit for the correct procedure.
No work shown usually results in a poorer grade
YOU MAY USE ELECTRONIC TRANSLATORS FOR A TEST. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE
WITH VOCABULARY ASK THE TEACHER FOR HELP
CHEATING ON A TEST (OR HOMEWORK) RESULTS IN A GRADE OF ZERO FOR
THAT ASSIGNMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES.
‐ Calculators
You are expected to have a calculator. A TI‐83+ (or better) graphing calculator is
used throughout the course. You should at the least have a scientific calculator
to use on homework.
School calculators do not leave the classroom. UNLESS THEY ARE ASSIGNED OR
RENTED TO YOU
If assigned, they are to be returned the NEXT DAY.
If the calculator is lost or broken while in your possession, you are responsible
for replacing the calculator (cost $100).
If you need a calculator for the year, see the office staff to arrange a possible
rental.
