Course Description
In this course, students are expected to apply mathematics in meaningful ways to solve problems through the process of modeling. Mathematical modeling involves creating appropriate equations, graphs, functions, or other mathematical representations to analyze real-world situations and answer questions. Use of technological tools, such as hand-held graphing calculators, is important in creating and analyzing mathematical representations used in the modeling process and should be used during instruction and assessment. However, technology should not be limited to hand-held graphing calculators. Students should use a variety of technologies, such as graphing utilities, spreadsheets, and computer algebra systems, to solve problems and to master standards in all key concepts of this course.

No Excuses
Discipline
Class disruptions will not be tolerated. Our class policy is as follows:
1. Verbal Warning
2. Student Conference

5. Administrative Referral
Serious offenses, such as bullying, inappropriate language, etc., will be referred to administration immediately.
Required Materials:
Students must have the following:
five-subject notebook OR binder (student choice)
pencils
colored pencils or markers
loose leaf paper
Additional supplies may be necessary in the future.
A calculator is not required, as they will be provided in class; however, students are welcome to use their own should they choose to do so.
I expect students to do their part to be responsible and stay organized.
Homework
Students should expect weekly homework assignments. Most homework assignments will be assigned online through websites such as Delta Math, Khan Academy, Schoology, and Quizziz etc. Multiple days and attempts will be given for assignments. Each student will have an account created by me. All assignments will be due on Friday at 11:59pm of the week the assignment was given.
