INTEGRATED MATHEMATICS 1 WITH SUPPORT
Clete Purinton Melissa Bryden Kenny Beale
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.
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.
Grade Percentages: 20% - classwork, homework, and participation.
