In this math course, we will be continuing with your knowledge

the duration of this school year in the terms indicated:
Term 1 .
Linear Relations, Inequalities, and Functions (September- November) : Linear

In July, 2011, The Ministry of Education, Sport and Leisure (MELS)
introduced new Frameworks of Learning for the Math CST course. They are listed
below. As well, the final exam will be weighted, as will the terms. The final
exam is now a uniform exam (mandatorily included in the final grade).
You will be evaluated on the following two criteria in this course
in each term
·

·

Assessment
Types: May include
the following: announced quizzes, surprise quizzes, tests,
exams, and projects. On a daily basis,
students should prepare as if they expect a surprise quiz over either the
material just covered or the next lesson before it is covered in class. Online tests and quizzes may be offered for
you may take on a school computer or elsewhere.
Grading
Scale and Policy:
Points shall be awarded for
homework, cooperative leaning (group work), quizzes, tests, exams, and
participation. Points earned shall be
divided by points possible and then multiplied by 100 for each grading period.
Materials: notebook, folder, graph paper,
small 1-subject notebook, calculator (CASIO or SHARP). You will need your text
and notebook every day.
Classroom Procedures:
I have very few explicit rules in my
class, except to say that we all must respect one another. My foremost request
is that you do not talk while I am speaking, If you have questions, please wait
till I am done speaking. It is terribly rude and makes the class long and
difficult if I have to stop and ask everyone to be quiet all the time.
I do permit you to bring water to drink,
but no Food or any other liquids in the classroom.
Your responsibilities include brining
notebook and pencil to class, and your memory aid cards (Index cards). Far too
many students have terrible binders, poor-taking and no memory aid. I will help
you pass this course using strict strategies for your own personal
organization.
As well, you must hand in all assignments
on time.
MAKE-UP WORK: It is the responsibility of the
student to manage his or her make-up work.
You must get the assignments, take the make-up tests etc. Do not expect your teachers to automatically
inform you and schedule your make-up work.
You will be expected to use the course website and other tools to avoid
falling behind.
