Mr. Silver: Math III Honors

 

"Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics;

I can assure you mine are still greater."

~ Albert Einstein

 

 

 

Steps to Success

Image

BE PREPARED.  Come every day ready to be challenged, learn, and practice new skills. Have a positive attitude and be respectful to me, other students, and property. Believe you can be successful at math, because I do!

Image

WORK HARD.  I will not pretend this class is going to be easy, it is going to push you and stretch you to become a better student of mathematics. That means you are going to make mistakes, and at times fail. But that is ok - get help when you need it and give all work assigned your best effort.

Image

KEEP TRYING.  Feedback on your work will be given extensively. My goal is to help you learn the material as best as you can this semester. I try to arrange the course so there are continual opportunities to improve and then demonstrate improvement. I give credit for trying. Take advantage of this.

 

There is no short cut to mathematics, there is only practice.

 

 

Supplies

Many supplies are provided in the classroom for student use. However, individual student damage to supplies will require replacement of materials and possible loss of using Mr. Silver's materials. This includes using supplies when not necessary.

Course Details

Formative Assessments:   While formative assessments (homework, warmups, classwork, etc.) are not "graded" for accuracy they are vital for improving before tests which determine your grade. Feedback will be given to help you improve and analyze your errors before and after.

Image

Grades:  Extra credit is not given. Extra assignments are not given. However, unlike other courses you will be able to retest as many times as necessary to show growth as along as extra practice is demonstrated.

 

Tests are broken into sections by objectives (goals) which are each scored from a 5 to a 10. Broad descriptions of these levels are to the right.

 

Course Topics

 
  1. Parent Functions: Linear, Quadratic, Radical, Polynomial, Rational, Exponential, Logarithmic, Trigonometric
  2. Properties of Functions: Transformations, Domain and Range, Graphs, Tables, and Multiple Representations
  3. Geometry: Proofs and Reasoning, Constructions, Properties of Shapes including Circles, Basic Trignomoetry
  4. Statistics: Sampling Methods, and Making Inferences from Data
