The high school AMDM course is a fourth-year mathematics course option. In this course, students will investigate applications of mathematics in a variety of contexts, including business and financial decision-making, earning, investing, spending, and borrowing money, using functions to model problem situations in both discrete and continuous relationships, and using ratios, rates, and percentages to solve problems. The intent of this course is for students to combine their understanding of multiple mathematical concepts as they explore and solve real-world mathematical problems.

STUDENTS SHOULD:
Be aware of upcoming deadlines and assessment dates, as they are posted and updated frequently on the class calendar
Check your grades frequently and address grade concerns in a timely manner
Self-advocate, meaning that you will seek additional support when needed
Seek out opportunities to remediate and reassess as evidence that you are putting forth your best effort in the course
Summative: 60%
Tests are used to assess student understanding at the end of each major topic. Tests are sometimes web-based and are sometimes project-based. Test scores can be improved with remediation and reassessment. Students must show that they have completed remediation assignments in order to reassess.
Formative: 40%
Quizzes are used to determine whether or not a student understands the current standard being learned. Quiz scores can be replaced with improved test scores that assess the same standards.
The semester grade consists of the semester grade weighted 80% and the semester exam grade weighted 20%.
Each semester grade determines if you will receive a half-credit. First and second semester grades do not average to determine if you pass or fail the course.
*A minimum grade will not be used because teachers are responsible for providing reteaching, intervention, reassessment, and/or assignment completion opportunities.
Teachers will provide one reassessment opportunity per assessment. Students may reassess summative assessments within 10 days from initial assessment after completing the reassessment assignment. After 10 days, the original grade will not be replaced. The maximum grade for a reassessment is 90.
Students may take missing assignments within 10 days after returning to school. After 10 days, the original grade will remain a missing grade. This will affect their overall final grade for the semester.
Do all of the needed assignments promptly; do not fall behind.
Do your assignments in a neat and organized manner.
Choose to have a positive attitude. It is the one thing you can control.
Ask questions until you fully understand the material. You are the only one who truly knows if you understand.
Keep track of your assignments and due dates. Don’t procrastinate.
Check Google Classroom daily. It is updated frequently.
Keep your Google Drive organized.
