Syllabus
ALGEBRA I HONORS
The fundamental purpose of this course is to formalize and extend the mathematics that students learned in the middle grades. The critical areas, called units, deepen and extend understanding of linear and exponential relationships by contrasting them with each other and by applying linear models to data that exhibit a linear trend, and students engage in methods for analyzing, solving, and using quadratic functions. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.
GEOMETRY HONORS
The fundamental purpose of the course in Geometry is to formalize and extend students' geometric experiences from the middle grades. Students explore more complex geometric situations and deepen their explanations of geometric relationships, moving towards formal mathematical arguments. Important differences exist between this Geometry course and the historical approach taken in Geometry classes. For example, transformations are emphasized early in this course. Close attention should be paid to the introductory content for the Geometry conceptual category found in the high school standards. The Standards for Mathematical Practice apply throughout each course and, together with the content standards, prescribe that students experience mathematics as a coherent, useful, and logical subject that makes use of their ability to make sense of problem situations.
Course Goal:
Evaluation:
Every student will receive an agenda book. All assignments are to be recorded in the book and brought home daily.
PLEASE CHECK THE AGENDA DAILY.
Grading Policy:
Grades:
MISSING ASSIGNMENTS & TESTS DUE TO ABSENCES
All students are expected to make up work missed during an absence. For excused absences full credit will be awarded
as long as the student makes up the work within TWO days. However, previously assigned work is due the day of return.
MISSING ASSIGNMENTS & TESTS DUE TO LATE WORK
All students are expected to make up work missed for any reason. In high school level courses, late work will not be accepted. In addition, late work in any grade will not be accepted if the grading quarter in which it was assigned has ended.
Expectations:
Respect yourself and others
Enter ready
Silent when others talk
Participate daily
Erase negative thinking
Care for classroom
Teamwork
Discipline:
As a school wide policy, I keep a log of behavioral and uniform infractions. Three infractions in the same category will result in an after school detention. At Franklin - Academy Sunrise we strictly adhere to the Broward County School Discipline Matrix.
Snack Time:
Students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack, (NO CANDY). Snack time will be during the last ten minutes of second period. Please do not send a snack that requires clean-up of hands and/or desk. WATER IS THE ONLY DRINK PERMITTED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Electronic Devices:
The use of cell Phones during school hours are prohibited. Students should not have any electronic devices on them. They should remain off, in their backpack, and out of sight at all times.
Supplies:
Single Subject Spiral Notebook
Pencils/ Erasers
Graph Paper
TI 30Xa Calculator

Course Goal:
- To prepare students for the Florida Standard Assessment (FSA) End of Course (EOC) Exam by covering the Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS).
- For students to demonstrate comprehension and application of the above topics with proficiency.
- To prepare students for future Mathematics courses.
Evaluation:
- Classwork – Students will be working individually and/or in groups daily.
- Project – Students will be responsible to complete at least one project per quarter. The project will generate multiple grades.
- Test – Tests will be announced in advance and given on Tuesdays. A review will be given on the Monday before.
- Quiz – Quizzes may be given on any day of the week. Usually a brief review will be given the day of the quiz.
Every student will receive an agenda book. All assignments are to be recorded in the book and brought home daily.
PLEASE CHECK THE AGENDA DAILY.
