Course Description: &= nbsp; The course begins with solving equations (including a review of

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; the properties of real numbers). Students will then work with linear

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; functions (including writing and graphing equations as well as

systems). Inequalities with one and two vari= ables will follow. Next, =

property of exponents, polynomials, and facto= ring will be studied. <= /span>

Finally, students will cover radicals= which will lead to and extensive

look at quadratic functions.&= nbsp;

There will be an emphasis on preparing for the CAHSEE.

Classroom = Rules: &= nbsp; Be Punctual-each student will be = in their seat before the bell rings.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; Be Prepared-each student will hav= e all their materials and

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; completed assignments with them every day.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; Be Respectful-no talking or walki= ng around the class when

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; someone is addressing the class; no disrespectful comments when

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; someone asks a question; no disruption whatsoever during class.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; No food or drink in the classroom (wa= ter bottles only).

Homework P= olicy: &= nbsp; Homework is expected to be completed and turned in the following

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; day. An assignment sheet will be given = out at the beginning of

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; each unit. If a student misses cla= ss, he or she will be expected to

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; completed that day’s assignment. Reading and taking notes on the

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; next designated section is required.

&= nbsp;

&= nbsp; A thorough attempt on every homework assignment is necessary for success=

Make-up Po= licy: &= nbsp; Work missed during an excused absence may be turned in for

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; full credit within the amount of time absent.

Late Work:= &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Students must contact teacher about turning late work.
