MATHEMATICS

The scope and sequence for CTC math classes are as follows: CTC recommends that each student progress as far as abilities allow in the Algebra curriculum. Geometry is recommended after Algebra 1. Business Math is offered to all high school students. Consult one of the Math teachers if you have a question about which class your student should take. There are math placement tests to help you make the best decision.

Prereq: A placement test is required and may be accessed at

www.mathusee.com. Please select "Placement" then select the

"Epsilon Competency Exam" option.

This class uses the multi-sensory Math-U-See curriculum, which uses hands-on manipulatives and systematic review, helping to reinforce the link between "seeing" math and "understanding" math. Some of the concepts covered will include: addition and subtraction of fractions with equal and unequal denominators, multiplication and division of fractions, prime factorization, linear measure, solving for the unknown with multiplicative inverse and fractional coefficients and transforming a fraction to a decimal to a percent. Supply fee includes student notebook, handouts, extra activity sheets and hands-on materials as needed. Manipulative blocks and fraction overlays will be used in whole group setting and will be supplied by the tutor. Purchase of individual manipulative blocks, fraction overlays or the Epsilon Teacher Kit for parents is optional.

Supply Fee: $20 Textbook: Saxon Algebra 1/2 3^rd Edition

Time: Tues.&Thurs. 8:30-9:50 Prereq.: Placement Test

Algebra 1/2 is a Tues./Thurs., 30 week course. We cover 2-3 lessons per class, therefore attempting to cover 120 lessons in the text. This class is best learned with the student dedicated to completing a lesson every day, working out each problem. Saxon Algebra ½, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 in order, contain a full course of Geometry.

Classroom management is divided into 3-25 min. segments of homework questions, new material lecture and practice problems done in class on the board. I will offer tutoring after 2^nd period through the lunch period if needed.

Students will need to purchase Saxon Algebra 1/2, 3^rd Edition Text, 1 1/2'” 3-ring binder, loose-leaf paper, a spiral notebook, and inexpensive 5 function calculator. The answer keys may be purchased for parents use only.

Homework is counted as 75% of grade, with reworked missed problems counted for 1/2 credit. Tests and quizzes are counted 25% of total grade.
