Course Description
This course is designed to bridge the gap between Algebra II (2330), Geometry (2430), and
collegiate courses in mathematics. Emphasis will be placed on linear, polynomial, rational, trigonometric,
exponential, and logarithmic functions, matrices, systems of equations and inequalities, and other algebraic
and geometric concepts. Students will use graphing calculators and computer software for various
mathematical applications. Both topics and depth of study aim to be consistent with the expectations of a
traditional College Algebra course required for many non-math dependent collegiate majors or many
associate degree programs.
Course Schedule
Semester One Semester Two
1. Basic Algebraic Operations 4. Functions
2. Equations and Inequalities 5. Polynomial and Rational Functions
3. Graphs 6. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
Materials
Students should come prepared with all of the following materials necessary for class each day:
Textbook Notebook (only acceptable writing utensil for exams)
Pencil
Homework Pen/Highlighter Graphing Calculator (TI-84 Plus
graphing calculator recommended)
Attendance
The greatest tool each student has towards being successful in math is attendance. The days you
miss break the learning sequence and hurt you. Math is a culminating subject where one day builds on the
next and so on. Thus, material missed may lead to math becoming unnecessarily difficult.
If you must be absent, it is your responsibility to obtain missed assignments/content. Use the
following steps as an outline for handling make-up work:
1. Check Make-up Assignment Board for missed tests/quizzes.
Schedule a time with Miss Myers to complete the assessment.
Students will have one cycle to make-up the missed assessment without penalty.
After one cycle, quizzes will receive a 0%, tests will lose 10% per day until reaching a
maximum of 50% deducted.
2. Check class folder in the Absentee Handouts Bin for missed notes, worksheets, projects, etc.
Students will have the same number of days as their absence (as outlined the in the
student handbook) to complete the missed assignments without penalty.
3. Copy missed notes from any of the following:
The class binder, a classmate, or Miss Myers’ website
www.northernpbmath.weebly.com
4. Check Chapter Assignment Sheet for the homework assignment that was given on the day of
your absence.
5. Show Miss Myers the homework that was due on the day of your absence.
6. Get a pass for Math Lab to get additional help with notes, homework questions, etc. as necessary.
Grading: A 93-100% B 85-92% C 77-84% D 70-76% F below 70%
Sapphire Grade Book Codes:
0 – Assignment is calculated as a zero and can no longer be turned in for credit.
M – Assignment is “missing” (whether from absence or a failure to complete it) and
may still be turned in for credit. This score is calculated as a “zero” until student
turns in the assignment.
C – Assignment has been “collected” but not yet graded. No score is attributed to the
“C” code, so the student’s final grade will not be affected until the actual score is
keyed into the gradebook.
Ex – Assignment is “exempt/excused” and will not count against the student’s grade.
I would like to incorporate several web-based resources into this course, but I need to
know my students’ accessibilities. Please answer each of the following questions so that I
may judge which projects are applicable for students this year.
Thank you,
Miss Myers
