Pi-Rate Math DepartmentCLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS & MINDSETOne of the main reasons we focus on problem solving and supporting answers with logic and reasoning is that itsets students up for SUCCESS not just in that particular math class but in all classes moving forward throughout theireducation.This focus helps students overcome obstacles and adversity by providing them the techniques and processes to solvemultiple complex problems, while preparing them for college or any career they choose to go into after high school.Plus, the students are better suited to handle all of the standardized tests that are given throughout their schooling.Here are some examples of problems that students will be expected to solve:EXAMPLESFrom a High School Honors Geometry ClassCASTEEL MATH DEPARTMENT TUTORINGStudents are encouraged to setup tutoring with their individual teacher when they are having diffculties with a concept.Tutoring is offered before school, during conference, and after school. However, If your student’s teacher is not availableat that time then there will be other teachers available to help them.

Students will use reasoning andcommunication skills within real-world problem solving situations throughout the course.Description: The Algebra I & Honors Algebra I course begins with connections back to prior work withalgebra, efficiently reviewing algebraic concepts that students have already studied while at the sametime moving students forward into the new ideas described in the high school standards. Studentscontrast exponential and linear functions as they explore exponential models using the familiar tools oftables, graphs, and symbols. Finally, they apply these same tools to a study of quadratic functions.Throughout, the connection between functions and equations is made explicit to give students more waysto model and make sense of problems.Special Materials: Two composition books (NOT spiral notebooks)--one will be used each semester totake notes and to organize handouts. It will be graded on occasion so keep it updated at all times. If youare absent, check with a buddy to make sure that you copy missed notes or insert handouts.
