  1. Welcome to Algebra 1! Mrs. Marissa Dahme http://goo.gl/8U82K4

  2. Introduction • 5th year teaching at SRTMS • B.A. and M.S. in Mathematics • Teaching Credential & M.Ed • Crazy about math! • Favorite number is

  3. Resources • This presentation can be accessed here: http://goo.gl/8U82K4 • Website is updated daily (including Google Calendar) • Zangle/Q is updated regularly • Best way to contact me: mdahme@pvsd.k12.ca.us • Contact Mrs. Trinidad at: strinidad@pvsd.k12.ca.us

  4. Student Resources Leave textbook at home Online textbook: www.pearsonsuccessnet.com Username: dahmestudent  Password: ilovepi314 Use Google Drive/Calendar/teacher website for Warm-ups, Notes, Homework Assignments

  5. Algebra Topics: Overview • Real Numbers • Solving Equations • Solving Inequalities • Graphs and Functions • Linear Equations • Systems of Equations and Inequalities • Exponents • Polynomials and Factoring • Quadratic Equations and Functions • Radical Expressions and Equations • Rational Expressions and Equations • Common Core is coming… 

  6. Policies Grading: 10% Homework 40% Classwork 50% Assessments Late work: 10% penalty per day, up to 5 days late Absences: one day per day absent to complete make up work Use the website for assignments/notes

  7. Notebook • Students needs a spiral notebook for math only • Notebook quizzes are part of the classwork grade (40%) • NB quizzes are open notes and timed • It is imperative that students stay organized!

  8. Homework • Emphasis on practice & mastery of skills • Corrected during class (students without their homework miss out on part of the learning process) • “Open Note” Homework quizzes about every 2 weeks

  9. HW/NB Quiz Rubric • Each problem is worth 4 points: 1 pt for having the right problem 2 pts for showing work 1 pt for the correct answer

  10. POM: Problem of the Month • Purpose: to improve problem solving skills & encourage collaborative thinking with peers • Worth 15 classwork points • Due about once a month • Follow POM Guidelines for full credit

  11. Assessments • Average of 1 quiz & 1 test per chapter • Quizzes are sent home for students to keep • Tests are kept in the classroom • Corrections can be made on Quizzes to earn up to a 70%

  12. Extra Help Lunch on “B” Days (12:40-1:10) Or by appointment (before school, lunch, after school) Email Study buddy Online resources

  13. CC State Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically.

  14. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. http://www.insidemathematics.org/index.php/commmon-core-math-intro

  15. Goals • Motivate, Educate, and Inspire students by sharing my passion for math • Build upon students’ computational skills, conceptual understanding, and logical reasoning • Help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to become successful adults
