Course Evaluation
25% Final Exam
Within each of the seven units of the course your grade will be based on:
30% In-class assignments and Quizzes (typically 2 – 3 per unit)
45% Cumulative Exams
Marks for assignments/quizzes and cumulative exams will be entered into Powerschool after their completion. When a unit first appears on a cumulative test, the mark on the cumulative test may replace the unit quiz mark if the cumulative test mark is greater.
Textbook: Foundation and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 10 (Pearson)
Required Materials (these are needed for EVERY class)
>> TI-83 Plus no longer manufactured
>> TI-nspire CX,
Note: any CAS version of the TI-nspire is not allowed since it can do algebra manipulation.

Missed Days due to Self Isolation
If you miss classes, you will find all the handouts online at your Google Classroom. Assignments for marks can be sent via Google Classroom if a student is missing for an extended number of days.
Missed Days and Extra Help
If a class is missed, students are responsible for obtaining a copy of the notes and finding out what homework or assignments have been missed. This means if you miss an assignment, quiz or exam, you are responsible for making it up – on your own time if necessary. Taking personal responsibility for your own conduct and learning is the FIRST step in getting the rest of the world to start treating you like an adult!
Classroom Guidelines and Expectations
For any individual to achieve in any math course an effective and helpful learning atmosphere must be created in the classroom. In my opinion the success of any individual is dependent on the success of the class as a whole. Each student is responsible for their actions and attitudes. The following guidelines clarify what is expected of you in Math 10 Common:
Respect: In this classroom we will respect each others right to learn and teach or help. We will respect each other’s right to an opinion, comment or question. Courtesy, tolerance and teamwork are always expected and required.
Class time:
It is expected that you will use class time as effectively as possible.
· At the beginning of class be prepared to discuss homework.
· We will then go into a new topic.
· When there is class time to work it is expected that you will work on the problems. Work until the bell. When working you should be in your desk, not up, not talking across the class.
Be on time and be prepared: Bring your workbook, pencil, notebook and calculator to every class.
