Welcome to Math I! This course continues and expands on the study of algebraic concepts. Some topics that will be taught are operations with polynomials, geometric proofs, linear applications and an introduction to non-linear functions.

At the end of this course, a successful student will be able to:

  • Perform operations with numbers and expressions to solve problems
  • Describe geometric figures in the coordinate plane algebraically
  • Use relations and functions to solve problems

According to North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, students must demonstrate proficiency by scoring level III or IV on the End-of-Course Exam.

End-Of-Course Exams: There will be an EOC for Math I in January.

SMART Lunch: Students Maximizing Academics, Relationships, and Time, otherwise known as SMART Lunch! South Iredell has found a way to provide all students the opportunity to have additional time with teachers, time for clubs, time to reinforce classroom instruction, and time for reflection each and every day. SMART Lunch is an hour in the middle of every day where students choose how to spend their time. South Iredell faculty open their classrooms to students to provide formal instruction, a place to gather and share ideas, and a place to get extra help, or a place to join with friends to work on club activities.

All assignments and important dates will be posted to my website

listed above. We will also use Edmodo and Remind for announcements and assignments.

Materials:

  • Folder/3 Ring Binder
  • 2 Expo Markers
  • 2 Highlighters (different colors)
  • Pencil
  • TI-83 plus calculator optional

I agree to bring the above supplies to class everyday!
