Geometry

Course Description and Expectations: The purpose of the course in Geometry is two fold: (1) Prepare students for the New York State Math A Regents examination; and, (2) Prepare students for topics required in Algebra II. Topics include probability, statistics, geometric constructions, properties of triangles, advanced trigonometry, transformations, the quadratic formula, and algebraic functions.

Grading Policy:
Quizzes: 10 quizzes each marking period, 10 points each
Homework: Given every day, 3 points each day
Tests: Announced. 100 points each, 3-4 each marking period
Exams: Cumulative in scope, 200 points
Term grade is quotient of points obtained divided by points possible.

Midterm/Final Exam:
There is no midterm for this class. The final exam will be the Math A Regents Exam given in June. A student’s final grade will be calculated by averaging each quarter grade with the final exam grade.

Late Work:
Work will be accepted late given the following conditions:
1. All homework must be turned in. A student can be expected to stay 10th period if they are missing homework assignments. Any late homework will be worth 1 point.
2. Tests and quizzes may be corrected for half of points missed.

Test Make-ups:
1. Students are responsible for any work they miss while they are absent, therefore tests will be expected to be completed upon that students return to school.

Homework Policy:
1. Homework is given everyday.
2. Homework is checked everyday (3 points each assignment)

Grading Timeframe:
Grades can be expected to be updated every weekend, except in extenuating circumstances. In such cases, grades will be made available shortly after the week begins.

Geometry A

Course Description and Expectations:
The course is designed for students who struggled in Geometry and need to pass the Math A Regents, or for students that have taken and passed Algebra I and covers the second part of the Math A curriculum. The students will take the Math A Regents in January and June.

Grading Policy:
Quizzes: 10 quizzes each marking period, 10 points each
Homework: Given every day, 3 points each day
Tests: Announced. 100 points each, 3-4 each marking period

Occupational Math

Course Description and Expectations:
Occupational Mathematics provides a full year of practice in applying the concepts learned in Algebra and Geometry to consumer and job-related activities. Selected topics will be adapted to fit the specific needs and interests of students. This course may be taken by teacher recommendation only.

Grading Policy:
Quizzes: 10 quizzes each marking period, 10 points each
Homework: Given every day, 3 points each day
Tests: Announced. 100 points each, 4-5 each marking period
Term grade is quotient of points obtained divided by points possible.

Midterm/Final Exam:
The midterm will be a project where students can apply what they have learned in the first half of the year. The final exam will be a standard exam, testing on everything learned during the year. A student’s final grade will be calculated by averaging each quarter grade, the midterm grade, and the final exam grade.

Late Work:
Work will be accepted late given the following conditions:
1. All homework must be turned in. A student can be expected to stay 10th period if they are missing homework assignments. Any late homework will be worth 1 point.
2. Tests and quizzes may be corrected for half of points missed.
