Course Description
Math Makeup Syllabus
Foley High School 2014
“Believe you can and you are halfway there.” Theodore
Roosevelt.
All school procedures and policies
from the Foley High School handbook will be followed. Accommodations for
students with IEP’s and/or ESL will be followed. It’s the law.
Proposed Objectives: The objectives that will be covered
are obtained from the state curriculum guide. The goal is to prepare you to
be successful for next year’s Algebra Class/Geometry Class.
This
course focuses on the useful application of course content and on the
development of student understanding of central concepts. Appropriate use of technology allows students
opportunities to work to improve concept development. As a result, students are empowered to
perform mathematically, both with and without the use of technological tools.
Student Resources:
Materials Needed: Students are
required to have the following materials each day:
1. Three ring binder with
wide ruled paper and graph paper
2. Writing utensil
(pencil, not pen)
3. FULLY charged MAC. If you need to charge your
computer, you may but you will not be able to use it while it is
charging.
*Other supplies may be required at a
later date!
Assessment and Grade
Determination: The student’s grade will be determined using the category
point system. Tests, class work, homework, quizzes and projects are
examples of ways that progress is assessed. Grades will be divided into
categories:
Assessments
50%
Classwork
30%
Exam
20%
The semester average is calculated
by averaging the two nine week’s grades. It is of the utmost importance
to complete all assignments on time. Late work MAY be accepted for
partial credit.
Make-up Work: Make-up work
will not interfere with regular class activities. It is the
responsibility of the student to find out what work was missed due to an
excused absence. This includes notes, homework, class work, quizzes,
tests and/or projects. The student will have three days to make-up work
missed due to an excused absence. Assignments/tests missed because of an
unexcused absence CANNOT be made up. No exceptions will be made!
Absences are marked as unexcused on the third day after the student’s return.
Work that will be missed due to a field trip should be discussed prior to the
trip.
General Classroom Procedures:
1. All school rules and regulations
are to be followed (including not using cell phones).
2. Treat others the way you wish to
be treated.
3. Respect others who are in this
room.

their computer for ANY reason during the restriction period.
*Other rules may be added if the
need arises.
