Course Description:
Integrated Math 3 is the third of a sequence of three courses, Integrated Math 1, 2, and 3. The first half of the course extends previous investigation with functions, transformations, solving inequalities, normal distribution and geometric modeling, inverses and logarithms, and simulating sampling and variability. The second half of the course focuses on Logarithms and Triangles, Polynomials, Trigonometric Functions, Series, Rational Expressions, Systems of Equations, and Analytical Trigonometry.

Classroom Expectations
It is expected that all students come to class with the proper materials and an attitude that shows a willingness to be challenged by the content, their teacher, and their peers. All students are expected to work hard to grow from their current level of knowledge to the highest achievable level.

Students are to respect the property and rights of all individuals in the class including the teacher and their peers
Materials

Students’ grades will be based entirely upon assessment of their knowledge of and ability to meet the Common Core Standards for Integrated Math 3. A 4-point rubric will be used for the purpose of determining each student’s level of performance on each of these standards. Assessments will be given in a variety of ways including but not limited to: Written Tests, Quizzes, and Projects. No extra credit will be given because it communicates that more knowledge of the content has been obtained than that which can be accurately measured. However, students will have multiple opportunities to increase their grades and levels through reassessment due to the grade replacement policy. In order for students to be eligible for reassessment they must be current on all homework assignments and complete error analysis. Students who do not pass the first semester of this course will have the opportunity to have their first semester grade changed to a C if they pass the cumulative final exam for the second semester.
