Integrated Math IA Syllabus


Welcome to Integrated Math IA with Mrs. Shearer!

 

IM IA Overview:

 As an Integrated Math IA student, you will take Integrated Math I over two years. In your first year, you will focus on essential high school math vocabulary and skills. You will learn basics in algebra, geometry and statistics.

In Integrated Math I, you will learn how to solve problems with linear and exponential expressions, equations, and functions. You will learn about geometric congruence.  You will continue to learn how to understand data. You also will learn how to solve systems of equations with two variables.

In this class, we are expected to be:

  •    Prompt: Assignments are expected to be submitted on time.
  •    Prepared: Bring all supplies, including a positive mindset, daily.
  •    Patient: We’re all in this together!!
  •    Curious: Ask questions, mistakes are valuable.
  •    Respectful: Be attentive.  Use technology responsibly and for educational purposes only.  Follow all school safety rules/protocols.
  •    Kind: “Kind words don’t cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” -Blaise Pascal, famous mathematician
  •    Careful: This year, no food or drink will be allowed in the classroom.  Wear your mask and respect social distancing all the time. (Don’t panic!  We will take a break every class period to use the restrooms, eat, drink, and breathe!)
 
If we are not, there will be consequences such as:
  •     A whole class/individual reminder
  •     A conversation with the teacher or distance learner liaison
  •     Parent/guardian contact
  •     An office referral
 

Recommended Supplies:

  •     TI-84 Plus (You will have a calculator to use in the classroom.)
  •     Composition or spiral notebook for taking notes
  •     One pocket folder 
  •     Pencils
  •     Earbuds/headphones
  •

  • Grading:  Your grade in Skyward will be determined as follows:

50% Tests/Quizzes, 40% Classwork, 10% Homework

          SHS grading scale:

A 93-100   B 85-92      C 75-84     D 70-74     F 69 and Below

RTII:  If you are pulled for extra help, it is not optional.  Missing an RTII session will be considered skipping class.

Textbook/Class Materials:  All necessary learning materials will be available online through Clever, Schoology, TEAMS or my teacher webpage.

Communication/Technology:

It is your responsibility to let me know when you need help.

A great way to reach me is via email at [email protected].  I check my email frequently throughout the day and on the weekends.

We will be using the Schoology or TEAMS platform for all classwork, notes, assignments, and assessments, so that whether you are in class or a distance learner, everyone can stay on the same page.  We are all in this together!!!!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you enjoy math.  I am so very happy that you are a Bulldog!!  #OnlyOneSHS
