welcome parents and students I teach math at Cascade High School is my second year here these are the courses I teach precalculus honors pre-calculus AP Calculus a beef I'm also the head coach for boys girls golf welcome Here's My Philosophy I don't believe there is math people and not math people math is a skill and like any other skill that can be practiced in and developed some people have a more natural Affinity to that skill and will pick up on a quicker but through repeated practice math skills can be developed any student can turn into a solid Mass students as the math coach for the year I will help them I will help students practice to achieve proficiency and Mastery of the skill I will try to maximize their math abilities but the students job is to show up to practice and be willing to be taught my expectations for students in class are pretty standard be punctual to be on time be ready to learn have supplies if you don't need if you don't have supplies please work on getting them and you that's just paper and pencil I'm old-fashioned that way coming to class looking to give better that day at this math skill support your classmates and communicate with help me help you I hope you're struggling let me know where I'm so I can help Target that and communicate with each other as well as myself I'm very I can be very flexible with Dad times are lessons or whatever especially as students will be coming in and out of quarantine just keep me in the loop what's happening and we'll work something out there's another link online to the s I'm not going to go super into that but on the left I do have like a like a layman's terms for how to achieve these in my opinion of four is I can that student could teach this to someone else A3 is I could give them a problem they can understand it installed it to is you kind of get a you need a little bit more practice 1 need one is I need I need more practice a toy great both the precalculus classes the AP class is graded on a 125 scale to reflect on the 125 AP test grading scale so 5 is perfect answers I can clearly see how this topic links with others you are very well quote qualify to you can understand problems and solve them and you are exploring how this relates the other topics qualified as you can solve you can understand the problem you can solve it too is possibly qualify you need a little help time to get it knock knock I'm just not there yet and then one is you need to practice more not qualified here's kind of the topics that we will go over in the year this is just a Bare Bones schedule will probably be within a couple weeks of each of these for precalculus functions are what we've already done or move into polynomials and matrices October will be exponents and logarithms November trigonometry December will be systems of three equations January is hyperbolas parabolas of circles with ellipses all that then we start to move into some of the beginnings of calculus limits and derivatives is what will finish the year off with Rhonda's pre-calc they go a little faster than pre-calc so we will get two limits and infinite limits in December instead of and then honors pre-calculus will go into antiderivatives and integration by the end of the year where precalculus will not AP Calculus restarting derivatives now I want to do all kinds of differentiation in December will start hitting on antiderivatives and integration January through March will be more integration and everything that has to do with it April is a pretty much a dedicated review month AP tests May 9th you have until mid-november sometime to re-register if you want the actual date let me know but the AP test is May 9th so this Lee peacocks Master to essentially ends a month early on my goals to finish everything before that May 9th deadline so you can be prepared as possible for the AP exam I'm how you can support your students contact me and just ask I will respond to that email between 7:30 and 9:30 that's a 14-hour window it's gets pushed through to my phone I'm pretty quick at responding the main support area will come in when time that is Monday through Thursday from 7:55 to 8:25 returning students should be familiar with when time and will be used for I also I can't assign homework but I assign students recommended practice add to take home if they're struggling with the material in class so they can take it home and its its problems that will help them learn and it's just extra practice it's not graded but I give them the eye problems cuz the answers are in the back of the book and then they can come to me with questions at Willow Wind time the next day or the next time we meet or whatever so if you have any concerns please reach out and enjoy the rest of your time browsing through our V
