Course Description
This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students' experiences with
linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions,
including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and
graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop
facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and
communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Student Expectations
1. Homework should be completed daily to your best ability.
2. An organized notebook is important to success in math. You must have a separate math notebook.
3. Mastery of math is exemplified by your ability to teach others. Participate in class.
Test/Assignment Policy
1. If a student knows he will be absent for a test, he should discuss this with the teacher before the
test date.
2. If a student is absent on the day of the test, he should be prepared to write the test the day he
returns to class. If a student does not meet the above expectations, he may receive a mark of
zero.

1. October Midterm Report (*letter grade)
2. Christmas Report (includes the Christmas Midterm Test)
