This course is newly implemented by the entire SJUSD and is the first a series of three Integrated courses which will meet the minimum math requirement for enrollment in a UC or CSU, and for preparation to enroll in college-level math classes at a community college.  Topics covered will be a blend of Algebra 1 and Geometry.

Supplies:

Grades are based on classwork, homework, formative assessments, summative assessments, midterms, and finals. We use a 5-point grading scale.

            5 – work and solutions are accurate and demonstrate a clear understanding

                   of the specific concepts.

                   Excellent Work                           Grade Earned: A

            4 – work and solutions are mostly correct with only minor arithmetical

                    errors, but still demonstrates understanding of the concepts.

                    Very Good                                  Grade Earned: B

            3 – some work is correct with answers demonstrating understanding, but

                   there are some gaps in the concepts.

                   Good                                            Grade Earned: C

            2 – some work is correct, but most is incorrect with errors that demonstrate

                   only a partial understanding of the concept.

                   Fair                                              Grade Earned: D

            1 – solution attempted, but shows no understanding of concepts.

            0 – No attempt made to solve problem.

                   Poor                                             Grade Earned: F

Tests: Formative assessments may be retaken once following corrections and review. Retakes must be taken outside of class time. Summative assessments may not be retaken.
