INTEGRATED MATH 2 FUNDAMENTALS

Integrated Math 2 Fundamentals Syllabus 2016/17

Textbook: Integrated Math 2, McGraw Hill Education 2012
Teacher: Mr. Drosopoulos

The Math 2 Fundamentals course will provide a basic understanding of the following
concepts: exponent laws, square roots, graphing and solving square root equations and
inequalities, graphing and solving exponential equations, solving and graphing quadratic
equations using factoring methods, the quadratic formula and graphing calculators,
imaginary numbers, comparisons of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions with
regression, basic probability, right triangle trigonometry, circles, similarity, and volume. All
topics will be taught within the common core standards and will involve real life applications
for the students to model. Students will need a graphing calculator. The prerequisite for this
course is Math 1 Fundamentals.

Expectations:

Respect
Do Work
Dont Annoy Me

Course Objectives:
The student will enhance their abilities to think critically, to use reasoning skills, and to problem
solve.
The student will achieve mastery in areas of math that may have been deficiency areas in the past.
The student will learn and understand how to apply mathematics to real world applications.

Required Materials:

1 Subject Notebook
Pencils and Pens
Folder
Graphing Calculator (TI-83 or TI-84)

Grading System:
Your grade will be based on the percentage of the total possible points you have earned. There are
three different categories that are used when figuring your overall percentage. Total points are
accumulated throughout each semester and you start over again at the start of semester two. The
breakdown of your grade will be shown on PowerSchool.
A 100-94
B 93-85
C 84-74
D 73-65
F 65 & Below

INTEGRATED MATH 2 FUNDAMENTALS

Grade Breakdown:

Homework, Mini Quizzes/Exit Slips, Participation, Tests/Quizzes,

Projects/Activities

Extra Help:

If at any point you have questions and/or need any additional help (outside of class),
I will be available before school (7:45-8:05) and during GTT (11:15-11:45).

Absent from class:

Absent for a test or quiz: If you are absent the day of a test/quiz you MUST make it up within
three days of returning to school. This class is fast paced and its important to stay current with the
material. Waiting more than a few days to take a test is not a good idea.
Absent for a regular class: If you are absent from a class, you need to see me on the day you
return. This will allow me to inform you what needs to be done in order for you to stay up to date. (i.e.
Get the notes, any in-class activities, homework that was assigned, etc.)
Absent for a homework assignment: If you are absent from class you will need to complete
the homework that was assigned and show me that it is complete the following day.

Late Work:

I generally dont accept late work. If it is done on time, then you will receive a zero for
that assignment. However, every situation is different in why you might not have your assignment
done. Because of this, there may be a few exceptions.

Re-Tests:

Each individual is allowed to re-take one test per semester. The individual must complete
an assigned packet before being allowed to re-take the test. Re-takes must be completed no later than
7 days after going over the original test.
