SYLLABUS

Algebra I-8th

Teacher:            Mrs. Gomer          

Book:               Algebra 1, Bellman, etal, Prentice Hall, 2007.

 Course Requirements:

 1.      Participation:  Your willing participation in all class activities is expected. 

 2.      Quizzes, Tests, and Quests:  Quizzes will be given at the teacher’s discretion.  There will be adequate notice for major tests.  Pretests and Posttests will be used to measure progress.

 3.      Daily Homework:  I expect everyone to do all daily assignments. Answers to the odd questions are in the back of the book.  I expect you to use them appropriately.  (After doing your assignment, check the answers; correct if necessary.)  Show your work.  A list of answers is unacceptable.  Unacceptable papers will be redone.

 4.      Vocabulary List/Notes: You will be expected to take notes over any new material.  If your vocabulary list is complete, notes should be minimal.  You will be expected to keep a written vocabulary list which will include the definition of the words. This notebook of terms should be organized semi-alphabetically (in other words, words that begin with “a” are on the “a” page, etc.; they are not necessarily alphabetized within the letter grouping) This will be checked periodically and collected on the day of the test.  It will be graded on content, completeness, and neatness. I expect you to keep ALL vocabulary lists in the folder provided.

Topics which should be studied this year are:

Problem solving strategies.
