Syllabus for Integrated Mathematics I

Norco High School 2023-24

Mr. Frisone

 

Course Description

Integrated Mathematics I is the first-year course of high school mathematics.  You will be a part of a group of teachers who will be working purposefully, regularly, and cooperatively throughout the year to help all students gain a conceptual understanding of Integrated Mathematics I.  We will set goals, design meaningful assignments and activities, prepare lesson plans, and evaluate results.  Through clear expectations, students will follow the contents of the California State Common Core Standards for Integrated Mathematics I.

 

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics build on the best of existing standards and reflect the skills and knowledge students will need to succeed in college, career and life.  The Common Core calls for greater focus in Mathematics. Rather than racing to cover many topics, the standards ask mathematics teachers to significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy are spent in the classroom.  This focus will help students gain strong foundations, including a solid understanding of concepts, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the mathematics they know to solve problems inside and outside the classroom.  Mathematics is a body of knowledge made up of interconnected concepts.  Therefore, the standards are designed around coherent progressions from grade to grade.  Learning is carefully connected across grades so that students can build new understanding upon foundations built in previous years.  This helps develop the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful.

Material Requirement

-Each student needs to purchase a Spiral Notebook that will be used to take notes every day, solve warm-up problems and for in-class activities. This notebook must be brought to class daily.

-Students need to also come to class with paper and pencils every day.

-Each student needs to purchase tape, straightedge, colored pens, highlighters, and a scientific calculator (TI-30XIIS).

-It is very important that you remain organized and are aware when assignments are due. Buying a student planner is recommended.

Make-up work procedures and policies

-Absent students are required to make up any missed notes, XL assignments, and workbook problems. Students will be given any make-up work immediately upon their return but it is the student's responsibility to obtain the work from the teacher. Students will be given two days to complete their make-up work for every one day they were absent.

 

Grading Policy

Grades will be calculated using a percentage system.  Your grade will be based on the following percentage breakdown:

10% daily participation (*includes behavior)

40% notes/classwork/homework/XL (individualized computer-based learning)

50% quizzes/tests/finals

 

*Students will lose participation points for negative behaviors such as: not bringing materials to class, being tardy, using foul language, using electronic devices during class time, chewing gum, eating or drinking in class, poor behavior, talking out of turn or not participating in classroom activities. The teacher may deduct participation points for any and ALL behaviors deemed negative to the classroom learning environment.

 

Your letter grade will be based on the following breakdown and will NOT be rounded:

100-97% A+, 96-94% A, 93-90% A-                                             

89-87% B+, 86-84% B, 83-80% B-                                                              

79-77% C+, 76-74% C, 73-70% C-                                                               

69-67% D+, 66-64% D, 63-60% D-                                                               

Below 60% F                                                        ***Please check Q Parent/Student Connect regularly for grades***

 

Tests

-A test will be given at the end of each unit.  All tests are 100 points.  There are NO retakes on Tests

-Unit review will be due the day of the test.

-Students will be expected to make up a missed test immediately upon their return. Any test that is not made up will result in a grade of Zero for the test and may not be taken at a later time.

-There will be a district midterm and a final exam.

 

Quizzes

-Quizzes may be given during each unit.  There are NO retakes on Quizzes

-Students will be expected to make up a missed quiz immediately upon their return. Any quiz that is not made up will result in a grade of Zero for the quiz and may not be taken at a later time.

Notes/Homework/Classwork/XL Assignments

-Notes/homework/class work will be checked daily.

-There are several ways homework/class work will be graded including; a quick check, collected and all problems are graded or graded in class and collected.  It is very important that you complete your homework each night it is assigned.

-In order to receive full credit on a homework/class work assignment, you must write with a pencil, attempt EVERY problem, copy down the question, show ALL work and box or circle each answer.

-Students will receive a “0” on their assignment if they don’t attempt most of the problems or if they don’t show their work.

 SHOW ALL WORK!!

-Homework/class work MUST be done in pencil.

-Homework/class work needs to be turned in ON TIME.  Late work is NOT accepted.

 

Classroom Rules

-Students will come to class prepared to work and bring all necessary materials to class every day. (Spiral notebook, workbook, pencil/pens, eraser and homework). Students will respect everyone in class. Students will be on time to class and ready to work when the bell starts ringing. Students will use appropriate language. Students will not talk while the teacher is talking or another student is talking.

 

Tardy Policy

-Students need to be in their assigned seat with their supplies when the bell starts ringing.

-Students that arrive after the tardy bell without a written pass or a detention will be treated as tardy and assigned the appropriate consequence. 

Consequences:

1st offense: Warning

2nd offense: Warning

3rd – 5th offense: Lunch detention

6th offense: Referral, ACP/PLC Detention/Saturday School, parent notification

 

Hall Passes

Students get four per semester.

Cheating

Norco High School urges students to conduct themselves ethically and honorably.  It is expected that the grade a student earns is based upon work that the student has completed.  Cheating is dishonest.  It harms you and it harms the other students who do not cheat.  We, therefore, will not condone nor will we tolerate any student submitting work that is not produced solely by the student’s own effort. Cheating includes but is not limited to offering another person’s work as one’s own, or knowingly sharing one’s work to be copied by another student. Please see more information on the attached Academic Honesty Policy contract on the next page.

*Cheating is NOT tolerated in my classroom.

-1st offense –on a test, quiz or assignment, you will receive a Zero and your parents will be notified.  A referral will be written, administration will be notified for further punishment and an Academic Dishonesty form will be submitted.  If you receive a zero for cheating, that test/quiz/assignment cannot be made up.                                  

 

Grades Online: Q-Student Information System

-Go to the NHS Website at: https://norcohs.cnusd.k12.ca.us and click the Q Parent Connect icon in the center of the page.

-All student grades will be posted on this website and can be accessed with a PIN and Password.

-This will allow parents to be constantly aware of the progress of their student in my class.

-Grades will be updated regularly as assignments are turned in.
