Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the Lord you God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Course Expectations / Syllabus for
Algebra
The Charles Finney HS Mr. Latona
Course Title: Algebra
Instructor: Mr. Latona
Contact Information: llatona@finneyschool.org
Course Description: Ninth grade Algebra seeks to develop a logical progression of ideas, as using variables to replace numbers. Topics to be explored include using inverse operations to solve equations and inequalities, complex fractions, radicals, factoring polynomials, graphing equations, and solving word problems - all with the goal of developing higher level thinking skills.
Goals/Course Objectives: This course is designed to prepare you for geometry and entry level math for most basic competency exams.
Methods of Instruction: Lecture, smart board presentation
Assessment of Grades: Class work/Homework/Notebook 15%, Quizzes 35%, Tests 50%
The final grade for the year will be an average of the four-quarter term grades and the Finney final exam, which counts for 20% of the final grade.
General Course Assignments (subject to change): Expect hw from each section we cover. There will be at least 1 quiz in each chapter and 1 test. We cover approximately 12 chapters.
