Course Outlines
Honors PreCalculus
In Honors PreCal, various functions, their various characteristics and their graphs, as well as analytic geometry and elementary analysis will be studied and applied in our 1st semester. Our first semester is very similar to a College Algebra course. Our second semester is for the most part focused on Trigonometry and it’s application. The material covered will be like that of a college course including a good deal of analysis and real world application.
Math Intervention
Math Intervention is designed to equip students with core elements of Pre-Algebra & Algebra I, in order to equip them to meet state standards, as well as lay a strong foundation for their coming math courses. This course will include diagnostic baseline assessments, targeted prerequisite skill recovery, and scaffolded instruction aligned with state standards.
Late & Make Up Work:
Attendance is important to success in school. If a student is absent, missed work will be in the “Make Up Work” tray in my classroom. Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom so that students who are absent know what happens in class each day.
Late Work: In Math Intervention, late work will be accepted according to school policy. In Honors Pre-Cal, late work will not be accepted.
Excused Absences: One day will be given for each day that you missed after the original due date. Extended absences will be handled on a case by case basis. Always communicate with me! I will work with anyone who gives me effort!
Google Classroom:
Google Classroom will be used for announcements, assignments, reading passages, and a variety of other things. It is primarily there for your benefit, please check there before asking. “What did I miss?”
Classroom Technology:
All Personal Digital Devices: Per state law and therefore KHS policy, phones and all other personal devices (including smart watches, laptops, tablets, earbuds, glasses, etc) are not allowed at all throughout the instructional day, and especially during class time. For this class, they must be zipped inside your backpack or bag, completely out of sight. They may not be in your pockets or anywhere on your person. If I see it, I am obligated by law to take it up. Students who do not abide by this will lose their device without warning, at which point it will go to the front office.
Chromebooks: Only school issued Chromebooks will be allowed. Your calculator for this class will be Desmos on your Chromebook. Students need to come to class with a charged Chromebook each day. Students are to always be on task when on their Chromebooks and can lose privileges if behavior is not on task and appropriate.
Academic Honesty
All assignments and assessments must represent the student's own, ORIGINAL work. A student may discuss assignments with other students to gain a better understanding of the problem/question, and strategies to solve. A student may also use AI and other resources for the purpose of learning and to gain clarity; however, copying projects, assessments or assignments, whole or in part, from ANY source, is considered cheating and will result in a 0. If the source is another student, the student who copied and the student who supplied the information will both be penalized. These grades will not be open for make-up. I WILL ENFORCE THIS STRICTLY!
