This is the third course in a sequence of courses designed to provide students with a rigorous program of study in mathematics. It includes data analysis, polynomial functions, rational and radical relationships, properties of exponents and logarithms, trigonometric functions and mathematical modeling. For a more complete explanation of the following standards, you may visit GeorgiaStandards.org.

Unit 1: Data & Statistical Reasoning

In this unit, students see how the visual displays and summary statistics they learned in earlier grades relate to different types of data distributions. They identify different ways of collecting data— including sample surveys, experiments, and observations—and the role that randomness and careful design play in the conclusions that can be drawn.

Standards covered: AA.DSR.2.1, AA.DSR.2.2, AA.DSR.2.3, AA.DSR.2.4, AA.DSR.2.5, AA.DSR.2.6, AA.DSR.2.7, AA.DSR.2.8 

Unit 2: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Students extend their work with exponential functions to explore and analyze structures and patterns for exponential and logarithmic functions and use exponential and logarithmic expressions, equations, and functions to model real-life phenomena 

Standards covered: AA.FGR.3.1, AA.FGR.3.2, AA.FGR.3.3, AA.FGR.3.4, AA.FGR.3.5, AA.FGR.3.6, AA.FGR.3.7

Unit 3: Radical Functions

Students will explore and analyze structures and patterns for radical functions and use radical expressions, equations, and functions to model real-life phenomena

Standards covered: AA.FGR.4.1, AA.FGR.4.2, AA.FGR.4.3, AA.FGR.4.4, AA.FGR.4.5

Unit 4: Polynomial Functions  

Students will extend exploration of quadratic solutions to include real and non-real numbers and explore how these numbers behave under familiar operations and within real-world situations; create polynomial expressions, solve polynomial equations, graph polynomial functions, and model real-world phenomena.

Standards covered: AA.FGR.5.1, AA.FGR.5.2, AA.FGR.5.3, AA.FGR.5.4, AA.FGR.5.5, AA.FGR.5.6, AA.FGR.5.7, AA.FGR.5.8, AA.FGR.5.9, AA.FGR.5.10, AA.FGR.5.11

Unit 5: Linear Algebra and Matrices  

Students will represent data with matrices, perform mathematical operations, and solve systems of linear equations leading to real-world linear programming applications.

Standards covered: AA.PAR.6.1, AA.PAR.6.2, AA.PAR.6.3, AA.PAR.6.4

Unit 6: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle

Students will develop an introductory understanding of the unit circle and solve trigonometric equations using the unit circle. 

Standards covered: AA.GSR.7.1, AA.GSR.7.2

Unit 7: Rational Functions

Students will analyze the behaviors of rational functions to model applicable, mathematical problems.

Standards covered: AA.FGR.8.1, AA.FGR.8.2, AA.FGR.8.3, AA.FGR.8.

FLOYD COUNTY GRADING POLICY:  This grade is a cumulative average by semester.  The grade given on grade reports is the current grade at that time. Parents are encouraged to track student’s progress by using PowerSchool.  Extra help is available after school if needed and if arrangements can be made.

 EVALUATION: Tests/Projects = 55%

Daily Work (Classwork, homework, quizzes) = 25%

Exam = 20%

Requirements:

1. Paper, pencil, calculator, Chromebook, and notebook needed in class daily.

2. Assignments completed daily with all work clearly shown.

3. Complete use of class time.

Class Rules:

1.       Be prepared with all materials.

2.       Be ready for class when the bell rings.

3.       Be on your best behavior.

4.       Be respectful of your teacher, your peers, and yourself.

5.       Cell phones are not permitted during class time.  If you are on your phone for any  

      reason during class, I will take your phone and hold on to it until the end of class.  

6.       Follow the rules set forth by Floyd County BOE and CCA as they also apply in this

      classroom.

Consequences:

First Offense: Verbal Warning

Second Offense: Verbal Warning and Parent Contact

Third Offense: Office Referral

Expectation of Workload: Students will be expected to use all of their class time for math work. Students will be expected to complete homework on a daily basis. All work must have all steps clearly shown. 

Make-up Work: It is your responsibility to obtain notes, handouts and assignments when you are absent. Daily assignments which are missed will be placed in the class folder on the MAKE UP WORK bulletin board.  Names of students who miss tests or quizzes will be posted, and it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements to complete make-up tests/quizzes.. 

***STUDENTS PRESENT ON THE DAY OF A TEST OR QUIZ SHOULD BE PREPARED TO 

TAKE IT.  If there are extenuating circumstances, another test date can be arranged. It is the 

student’s responsibility to make up any work missed while absent.  Again, three days will be 

allowed for make-up work.  Any work turned in late will receive at most a 70.
