NC Math 4

Bobby Hostler – bhostler@wcpss.net

 

Course Overview

The primary focus of this course is on functions and statistical thinking, continuing the study of algebra, functions, trigonometry, and statistical concepts previously experienced in NC Math 1-3. The course is designed to be a capstone to introductory statistical concepts. The course intentionally integrates concepts from algebra and functions to demonstrate the close relationship between algebraic reasoning as applied to the characteristics and behaviors of more complex functions. Students will be prepared for college level algebra and statistics or as a bridge to prepare students for Precalculus or other advanced math courses.

Quiz Recovery:

All quizzes and tests that cover the same topic will use my “50 rule”.  If your quiz grade is at least a 50% and your test grade is better, then your test grade will fully replace your quiz grade.  If your quiz grade is below 50% and your test grade is better, then your test grade will replace your quiz grade with a 70% maximum.

 

Test Recovery

Test scores can be improved based on the following guidelines:

  • The original test score is below 70%.
  • Students can take a re-test and will receive a minimum of an average of the two scores, not to exceed 70%.

 

Missed Assignments/Late Work

  • Teachers in each content area PLT will accept missed/overdue work for two weeks after the due date.
  • Teachers do not have to accept late work after one week prior to the end of the grading period.
  • A minimum grade of 60% can be earned for late work.
  • If a student misses an assignment/assessment due to absence (excused or unexcused) the student is responsible for finding out what assignments are due and completing them within the specified time period.

 

Academic Integrity

In accordance with Wake County Board of Education Policy 6445 regarding academic integrity, a student who knowingly engages in or attempts to engage in cheating, plagiarism, or falsification of school-related assignments and/or documents shall be subject to disciplinary action as outlined by Sanderson High School’s academic integrity standards.  Students are encouraged to review and practice these standards.
