ORGANIZATION
Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry
Materials:
3
ring binder or folder for keeping papers together
Looseleaf
or typing paper--no fuzzy edges
Pencil--all
work will be done in pencil unless you are specifically told otherwise
Calculator--I recommend a TI-83Plus; a limited number of TI-81 and TI-82's will be available for classroom use only.
Groups:
Cooperative
groups will be used a lot for various activities. Groups will be assigned by Mrs. Gomer.
Roles: These may vary with the size of the group.
Roles will change from activity to activity, but in general:
Leader--gets the activity started and keeps the group on task.
Recorder--records data, writes the final report with the help of the group.
Each person should write down their own notes as needed.
Reporter--will report to the large group if necessary.
Materials
Person--gets materials (manipulatives, calculators, etc.) as needed and puts
them away at the end of class. He/She
is responsible for things that must be kept until another class period.
Group rules:
Everyone participates and helps when asked.
Everyone is responsible for his/her own learning.
Do
not ask the teacher for help until you have asked everyone in your group
first.
Responsibilities:
Keep track of your books, papers and things. Keep your area neat.
Organize
your time so that all assignments (daily, weekly, and long term) are done on
time. Late work receives half
credit.
Be a productive, constructive part of which ever group you are in.
Do
the best you can at whatever you attempt.
