CONTENT:The goal of this course is to prepare students for AP Calculus AB. In doing so,

the course topics have been rearranged and re-emphasized so that students will obtain the required skill set. Course topics are from the Math 3 and Math 4 curriculum. Students will receive an Enriched Math 3 credit upon successful completion of this course.

HOMEWORK &

CLASSWORK:Homework/classwork will be assigned and checked at the discretion of the teacher. Appropriate work is expected to accompany answers. Odd numbered problems must be checked and corrected before coming to class.

QUIZZES:Announced as well as unannounced quizzes will be given. There will be no make-up quizzes given. All unexcused absences will result in a zero quiz grade. Other missed quizzes will be replaced with the test grade for that unit. Quizzes will cover lecture notes, classwork, and homework.

TESTS:Tests will be given on Tuesday or Friday when possible. It is the student’s responsibility to retain information and build on previous concepts. A student who misses the day of the test will be expected to take the test the day they return to school. Any missed test, which is not made up before the next test is given, will automatically receive a grade of zero. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange make-up tests with the teacher. See student handbook.

FINAL:A comprehensive final will be given at the end of the semester.
