IB Discrete Mathematics
Expectations
Welcome
to Discrete Mathematics!! It is important that you are in a classroom that
provides a positive learning environment so that you will be able to achieve
success. As in all classrooms, the general school rules and guidelines
described in the student handbook are followed. It is my expectation that each
student will…
- Arrive to class on time
with the proper tools
- Be respectful of people
and property
- Take responsibility for your
own actions (or inaction)
- Participate fully in
classroom activities
- Pursue educational
excellence as the key to your future
Required tools: Textbook, paper, graph paper,
pencils, graphing calculator
Grading: Assessments 70%
Assignments 10%
Projects/Activity 20%
The
class grade will be a weighted mix of the three components listed above. The
assessment category will include all quizzes and chapter tests. The assignment
category will include points from assignment checks from daily individual assignments.
The activity category includes group activities, specific projects, and class
participation points.
The
Mathematics department at CHS is committed to the goal of helping students
achieve mastery in their subject by reducing test anxiety. To further that
goal, we have determined that students will be allowed to retake unit tests under the following conditions:
- Student has taken original
test on the date given
- Student must provide
evidence of review or remediation before the retake
- Student is present at the
retake date slotted by the teacher, within a reasonable time from the
original (usually two weeks or less)
- Students absent on
original test date will only be given the retake as a makeup
- Student sitting for a
retake/makeup will receive the RETAKE
SCORE!!
- Students will be given an
opportunity to take only two
retakes per semester
The
mathematics department at CHS is also committed to helping students develop
study habits that promote lifelong learning. We feel that completing the daily
assigned work is very important to the mastery of the subject matter and helps
students develop a strong work ethic. Students will be expected to complete
assigned work in a timely manner, as impromptu checks will be done for the
daily assignment grade. (Special arrangements will be made for extended
absences or extended illness.)

if you have any concerns/questions about classroom practices or your students’
progress. I look forward to a great year!!
