Materials:
3 Ring Notebook (1 ½ inch)
- Notebooks will be setup as follows:
- Separate each section of your notebook with 4 dividers labeled: (This is only a recommendation…..you do what works for you!)
- Notebook Paper
- Pencils – No work will be accepted in pen!
- Highlighters
- Graphing Calculator: TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, any TI-84 mode or TI-Inspire.
- This calculator will be used throughout the school year and is necessary on homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. If there are any concerns regarding this calculator, please feel free to contact me to further discuss them. You must bring a calculator to class every day….I do not have any to loan!
- Homework will be assigned every day. I will provide a homework calendar at the beginning of each unit and this information will also be posted on my website.
- Assignments will be checked daily. I will be checking to see that you worked hard to understand the material by showing all work.
- If you are absent, you will want to get caught up ASAP as material builds on prior concepts.
- Tests and Quizzes will be given throughout the quarter. All tests and quizzes are listed on the homework calendar so there are no surprises! Tests and quizzes are 60% of your grade while classwork is 40%. STUDY FOR TESTS! If you are absent for ANY reason on quiz or test days, you will take the missed test or quiz the day you return during class.

Classroom Policy:
- You must be in your seat and ready to start your warm-up when the bell rings.
- You must come to class with your materials.
- When class work or homework is given, I expect you to be working on it quietly.
- Cell phones are only to be used in class when we are doing an activity that requires it. When you enter the classroom, put your cell phone in the same numbered slot as the number on your desk. This includes Smart Watches!
