Algebra 1 - 612
September 2008
khuber@rdhs.org

Textbook: Algebra 1, Integrations, Applications, Connections, Glencoe, 2001

Supplies: Spiral notebook (for Math only), Pencils, Graph Paper(4 or 5 squares per inch), Red Pen, , Ruler with inches and centimeters, Scientific Calculator (TI 84+), Folder for loose math papers

Grading Policy:
85% Tests and Quizzes
- No extended time unless qualified by your counselor.
- If absent the day of a test or quiz, expect to make it up the day that you return to school. Being absent the day before a scheduled test or quiz does NOT excuse the student from taking that test or quiz.
- Calculator borrowing or sharing is prohibited on test days. Be sure to have yours daily.
- Tests will usually be on a single chapter’s topics.
- Quizzes may be on daily homework or sections.
- The lowest grade will be dropped each quarter.

15% Homework
- Homework will be assigned most school days.
- All math work is to be done in pencil.
- Doing your homework will greatly increase your chances for success on tests and quizzes.
- Assignments will be checked in daily. To receive credit, all work must be shown. Papers are considered late if I receive them any time after they are “checked in” class.
- Each assignment is worth 2 points. You may make up an assignment by turning it in (on loose leaf) the next day for 1 point. Points will be totaled at the end of each quarter and a percent will be calculated.
- Your problems should be corrected in red ink because an important part of the learning process is knowing where you made your mistakes. If a figure or drawing is included in a problem, the picture should also be drawn in your homework using a straightedge.

Other Items
* Anyone who is academically dishonest will receive a failing grade of 0% on the paper. Talking during an assessment, having open papers in or around your desk during as assessment, looking at another’ s work, and copying homework are all forms of cheating.
* Sharpen pencils and use the washroom before class.
* Refrain from eating or drinking in class.
*The semester exam is 20% of the semester grade, and each quarter grade is 40%. Repeated unexcused absences will lower your grade.
* Please do not leave garbage, papers, etc. in the desks. You are not the only one who needs to use them.
*I am available for extra help before and after school, in Room 308. The Math department also has a peer tutoring program. Sr. Cora is available before and after school in 201B.
* If you are purchasing a new TI graphing calculator, please bring the proof of purchase in to me. The school can use them to get TI technology merchandise free.
