PBL Title TBD Panel Date February 2018

Course Name Integrated Math 1

In Integrated Math 1 students will create, rearrange and solve linear equations and inequalities in various
forms using algebraic reasoning, apply multiple forms to understand and interpret linear functions, and
graph linear equations and inequalities; identify exponential vs linear functions in all forms, and solve
exponential functions using various forms; create and interpret plots of data distributions using a variety of
plot types, compare data using center, mean, median, spread, IQR, standard deviation, and describe and
interpret plots using shape, center, spread and outliers; explain why sums and products of rational and
Course Description
irrational numbers are either rational or irrational, interpret coefficients and terms of quadratic equations,
write equivalent quadratic expressions, and solve quadratic equations using monomial factoring and the
quadratic formula; use a calculator to find a line of best fit and correlation coefficient, identify whether a
residual is an under or over estimate, identify the slope and y-intercepts and interpret their meaning in
context, and distinguish between causation and correlation; use constructions to model geometric
concepts and figures, understand the properties of a circle, and use volume to solve problems.

General Expectations
 Grades are based upon the demonstration of proficiency on units associated with a standard given during each formative or
summative assessment. Formative grades in addition to summative unit assessments will be used to holistically determine your
grade.
 Summative: 80% Summative measures of achievement are taken when unit mastery is expected. (i.e., unit tests, culmination of
a project, embedded assessments, etc.)
 Formative: 20% Formative assessments measure the scaffolding skills and/or content embedded in the unit. Formative
assessments are taken frequently, after a student has practiced a skill or become familiar with content. Examples of formative
assessments include but are not limited to exit tickets, paragraphs, oral check for understanding, warm-ups, stages in a large
project, etc.
 Assessments will be graded based on teacher/district/state rubrics.
 On group projects, students will receive a grade for individual work and a group grade.
 Grades are based on achievement of Content Standards and Grade Level Expectations.

Class Expectations
Missing or incomplete assignments/assessments: Superintendent Policies 6280 Homework and 6281 Make-Up Work, will be
followed for this course.
Additional Help:
 I will be available in room 230 during lunch most days to give extra help. Please let me know if you plan on stopping by. If that
time does not work, please set an appointment.

Materials and Supplies Needed Daily

 Paper, Pencil , Textbook: Contemporary Mathematics in Context, Courses 1, 2 & 3 (provided), Graph paper, Calculator: TI83 or
84 (will be provided during class if student doesn’t have one)

Accommodations
A variety of teaching techniques are used to meet the diverse needs of students. I am available by phone or appointment to
discuss concerns or needs of students with special needs.

Assessments Used To Evaluate Student Progress

Assignments, Investigations, Observations, Participation, Quizzes, and Tests

Motivation Used
 A variety of hands-on techniques, investigations, real-world contexts and group work that engage and stimulate students to
think about math are a part of this curriculum.
 Students are encouraged to be engaged and motivated in the completion of their assignments.

Student Expectations
Expectations for Classroom Behavior
 Electronics (cell phones, game systems, tablets, etc.) are to be turned off and stored during class.
 No food or drink (except water) in class.
 You are expected to be in class, on time, every day. Tardiness will impact your ability to receive participation points.
 Engagement in class activities is vital, be prepared to take risks and try new things.
