• Mathematics-3 is designed for students who want to learn the mathematics needed to enter most trades or want to enter the workforce after high school.
• Most apprenticeship training programs in Alberta will recommend students successfully complete Mathematics 30-3. However, a small number of apprenticeship training programs may require students to complete the -2 course sequence in order to meet the mathematics entrance level

NOTE: Students require a calculator for Math 30-3. The calculator needs to have the functions (sin, cos, tan). Any scientific calculator will be adequate.

Within each unit, 40% of your mark will come from Quizzes and In-class Assignments and 60% of your mark will come from Unit’s final assessment.
Marks for assignments/quizzes and unit exams will be entered into Powerschool after their completion. The mark on the unit test may replace the unit quiz mark if the test mark is greater.

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!
Students are ALWAYS encouraged to come for additional help when it’s needed.
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.
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.
Cell phones and music players: Cell phones will either be turned off or left in silent mode at ALL TIMES. If someone really needs to get a hold of you they can call the school. Music players will remain off while I’m teaching the lesson for the day. You MAY listen to them, with headphones, during seatwork. Cell phones are NOT calculators – so plan accordingly.
