Course Description:
Math 3 progresses from the standards learned in Math 1 and Math 2. Math 3 includes algebraic concepts such as the complex number system, inverse functions, trigonometric functions and the unit circle. Math 3 also includes the geometric concepts of lines, angles, triangles, parallelograms, and circles. The course ends with statistics, and students work with normal distribution, and examine reliable models for sampling populations. Students will be strengthening their problem solving skills, and their ability to prove and verify conclusions.
This is an honors level course. This course is also available in the Program of Studies at the College Preparatory level. Students earning credit for an Honors level course receive an elevated number of Quality Points for their Grade Point Average. Students choosing the Honors level course should be aware that this Honors level course will include:
- Required extension opportunities that are directly related to the Standard Course of Study. This includes additional content beyond that covered in the College Preparatory level.
- More challenging coursework and assessments. Students will be expected to demonstrate higher levels of understanding for grades.
- Students will have to focus and study regularly to master the content.
- The expectation that students can move through the coursework at an accelerated pace and students experiencing difficulty should quickly seek guidance from their teacher on how they can be more successful.

Make Up Work
If you know ahead of time that you will be out of school, please let me know in advance, so that we can make appropriate arrangements to make up work, tests, and/or quizzes.
All make-up work must be scheduled outside of normal class time. It is the studentβs responsibility to see me about missed work. You will receive a zero for work not completed in the allotted time.

I am available Tuesday Afternoons until 4:30, and by appointment.
(This may change periodically, due to unforeseen meetings, emergencies, etc.)
Peer tutoring is strongly encouraged, and students can see me for some possible peer tutors.
Grading Scale: A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: 0-59
- Tests 30%
- Quizzes 30%
- Class work/Homework 40%
Throughout the semester, you may access grades through the Parent Portal online. I will also require students to check in with parents about grades 3 times in the semester.
Power School Grade Codes:
Any late work that cannot be made up at all is recorded as a 0
If a student has the opportunity to make up work then, the grade is recorded as a 1
Canvas Learning Platform:This is our communication base!
Majority of the work done in this class will be with pencil and paper, and you will submit your assignment to Canvas. Canvas will also be used as a tool within the classroom to access the syllabus and additional resources to aid in learning.
Full credit on an assignment will be given only if the student has demonstrated effort in completing the assignment (showing work), and doing so with a degree of accuracy.
Late work (with the exception of work turned in later due to absence) will be accepted for half credit.
Class work and Warm-ups not completed during class will receive no credit. Occasionally, any of these assignments will be collected as a quiz.
Finals: The week of December 14th

Extend an understanding that the π₯-coordinates of the points where the graphs of two equations π¦ = π(π₯) and π¦ = π(π₯) intersect are the solutions of the equation π(π₯) = π(π₯) and approximate solutions using a graphing technology or successive approximations with a table of values. Solve Complex systems algebraically, using elimination or substitution. |
