Syllabus Q3
Syllabus for Quarter 3
Course Name: IMP 1, Integrated Math Program Year One.
Instructor: Jess
Prerequisite: Q2 IMP 1
Objective:
We will continue this quarter with our study of probability and statistics. So, far we have covered frequency tables, theoretical probability and observed probability. Our review of number manipulation and graphing will continue as a beginning of class activity.
Materials:
Students should have access to a 4 function calculator at home, graph paper, pencils, and a ruler. TI 83 Calculators are recommended but not mandatory.
Homework will make up 25% of the student's grade. I will accept late homework but will mark down for late homework. A student may decide to do an alternative assignment or work during ILP time instead of doing an assignment.
POWs and other larger projects will make up 25% of the student's grade. There should be 2 or three Pows/large projects this quarter that will be graded. An alternative assignment or project can be arranged if the original project is above or below the students ability. Options include tests, self designed projects, work on individual math goals.
Participation will make up 25% of the student's grade. This will take into account attendance, participation in morning activities, participation in class/group activities and behavior.
The Student Portfolio will also make up 25% of the student's grade. The student will be responsible for holding all of their past homework and organizing it in a 3-ring binder or folder.
Course Name: IMP 2
Instructor: Jess
Prerequisite: Q2 IMP 2
Last quarter we focused on solving quadratics using factoring and graphing. The distributive property was also revisited and related to area models. We have just begun a unit on Probability and Statistics that will take us through quarter three. The graphing calculator is also being used as tool for solving equations and visualization.

Course Name: IMP 3
Instructor: Jess
Prerequisite: Q2 IMP3
Quarter 2 we finished Professor E. MC Squared's Calculus Primer and began reviewing PreCalculus. We will continue to cover limits, graphing and function manipulation. We will work with imaginary numbers, exponents, radicals and our understanding of limits of functions will further be developed.

Course Name: Transitional Math
Instructor: Jess
We will work in a small environment to improve everyones math skills in preparation for High School. This will decrease the anxiety most students experience with this difficult transition. We will learn how to use graphing calculators as a tool. The class will have a lot of group work and individual student instruction and assessment so that everyone is being taught at an appropriate level. We will cover: rational number manipulation, probability, slopes of lines, equations, similar figures and geometry.
