Course Objective:
Students will be introduced to advanced terms and concepts of Algebra. This course will help students integrate geometry, discrete mathematics and statistics with algebra in preparation for Pre-Calculus, Calculus and many science courses. Students will learn real-world applications of Algebra.
Textbook: Carnegie Learning Integrated Math III, 4th Edition
Each student will be issued a textbook that should be kept at home for reference when completing assignments.
Materials: The student will need to bring to class daily;
- A three-ring binder with paper for homework & worksheets.
- A pencil and a pen

Assignments & Attendance:
Assignments will be given daily and will be due the following school day. In the case of an excused absence, the student will be given two days for every class that is missed to make up the work. In the case of long term absences, the student should make arrangements to get assignments from a classmate, and if possible to receive tutoring and also to meet with me upon return to class to establish terms for making up missed work. In the case of an unexcused absence, the teacher will determine whether or not to accept make-up work.
IM3 builds upon a pyramid of skills. It is difficult to learn new material when a student falls behind. It is very important to attend every class, to do the assignments and to seek help when you cannot do the work. Extra help is available from one of the math teachers after school.
Participation & preparedness:
The student is expected to be an active participant in the class and arrive in class prepared to learn.
