Note taking, study skills for Math 1 students

ALL E-MAILS NEED TO BE SENT TO

glenn.meeden@cobbk12.org

The following is a study skills discussion that just might be helpful for the MATH 1 students:



Distribute Study Time

Spaced practice promotes better retention than massed practice.
Study a little each day or several times a week.
Don’t cram all your study time into one long blitz.
This approach requires planning and discipline but you will reap the rewards (higher grades).
Reading the textbook chapters:
Rather than trying to read a whole chapter in a single sitting, read just one section per study session.

Listen actively in class

Remove distractions – friends, cell phones, I-Pods, etc.
Listen for the main idea and sub ideas in lectures. Write them down.
Ask questions during and after class.

Overlearn

Overlearning improves retention.
The more often students read a chapter and the fewer classes they miss, the better their exams scores. (Woehr & Cavell, 1993).
Don’t overestimate how much you know. Really learning something requires more than momentarily understanding it.
Highlight your notes
Test yourself
Online quizzes, section reviews
Review what you think you know
Reread the chapter
Explain it to someone else


Just a few helpful hints for improving oneself for high school and beyond.....

Coach Meeden








Talk about it

n We remember:
n 10% - 20% of what we read
n 20% - 30% of what we hear
n 30% - 40% of what we see
n 50% - 80% of what we say
n Countless experiments reveal that people learn and remember material best when they put it in their own words, rehearse it and then review and rehearse it again.
n Summarize the material for a friend or lecture about it to an imaginary audience.

Focus on Big Ideas

n Periodically, step back and see the big picture.
n Think about or write down how what you are learning fits together.
n Relating information to others things you already know will help you to remember it.

Be a Smart Test-taker

n Multiple choice test
n Don’t confuse yourself by trying to imagine how each choice might be the right one.
n Try to answer the question as if it were a fill-in-the-blank.
n Read the choices and find the one that matches your “fill-in-the-blank” answer.
n Mark through the answers that you know aren’t correct.
n Underline what the question is asking.
n If you have no idea: guess.
n Note the questions you aren’t sure of and go back to them if time permits. Sometimes another question will help you with the answer.
n Essay test
n Before answering the multiple choice, read the essay question carefully noting exactly what is being asked.
n Make a list points you would like to make.
n Answer the multiple choice questions keeping the essay question in mind.
n Reread the question, rethink your answer, and start writing.
n When you finish, proofread your work to eliminate spelling and grammatical errors that make you look less competent than you are.

Evaluate your study habits

n If you don’t perform well on a test, then try a new method next time.
n Don’t expect a different result from the same effort.

To all parents of my Math 1 students -

They are yet struggling with all of this new material, I know, and I am attempting to take my time to show them (and I did so working together with them in class last week, that is why you didn't see much homework last week). As mentioned at the Open House, it is all a whole new world for them....this Math 1. Well, we have had a bit of trouble the last few days, for many of them would rather just talk and visit than pay attention and concentrate on the subject at hand.

We are in the 5th week and I truly want them to do well but the constant chatter or being off-task does not help. While it is frustrating, I do know that several are working away at trying to make heads or tails out of it. I will simply now start assigning detentions for those always off task. They will have one week to serve the detention....they will have their choice of serving it on Tues morning, starting at 7:25 AM or Thur afternoon, starting at 3:30 pm. That will be it. Detention is for 30 minutes......non-negotiable.

I will be available for help on Wed afternoon, Thur morning and Fri morning of this week. If they have trouble, please don't hesitate. I sincerely want them to do well and get the most out of it. I will post week by week when I am available......

PHONE NUMBER: 678-494-7863, ext. 508
SCHOOL WEBSITE: www.cobbk12.org/~lassiter
ROOM NUMBER: 1209

Welcome! I am excited about having you in my class and I anticipate having a great semester. Like most things, what you learn in this class is a product of what you put in it.

Course Description: Math IY is a year long course. Your Math IY grade will be calculated as follows: Fall Semester grade 42.5%, Spring Semester grade 42.5%, End-of-Course Test (given Spring Semester only) 15%.

Unit 1: Function Families Unit 4: The Chance of Winning
Unit 2: Algebra Investigations Unit 5: Algebra in Context
Unit 3: Geometry Gallery Unit 6: Coordinate Geometry

A) Textbook:
McDougal Littell, Mathematics I (2008).
If the book is lost or destroyed, you are responsible for replacing it. The cost is $69.48.

B) Materials needed:
You will need a three-ring binder with dividers (for notes, classwork/homework, quizzes, tests), notebook paper, graph paper, pencils, and a calculator (you must have at least a scientific calculator).

C) Class Expectations:
*You should be seated and ready to begin class when the bell rings and remain in your
seat until the bell rings to end class.
*There is no eating or drinking in the classroom, except for water.
*You are expected to be respectful of your peers and teacher at all times.
*Do not talk when your teacher or one of your classmates is talking.
*Along with your textbook, you are expected to bring all supplies to class each day.
*All assignments should be completed using a PENCIL.
*It is your responsibility to be prepared for class each day.



D) Tests:
The Math Department has testing days on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. We will have many tests throughout the semester.

E) Quizzes:
Quizzes can be given on any day and will be given throughout the semester.

F) Homework:
Homework will be given often. You must do your homework in order to practice the mathematics being taught. It is your responsibility to check your homework for accuracy and ask questions when necessary.

G) Final Exam:
The final exam will be a multiple-choice cumulative test that covers all material from
the semester.

H) Attendance and Make-up Policy:
You are expected to attend class daily and on time. It is important that you are in class on time in order to receive proper instruction and be a part of the discussions and questions dealing with the concepts being presented. If you are present and actively participate in class, you are more likely to be successful; however, if you are absent, you have one day for each day of excused absence plus one more day to make up the work. (For example, if you are absent 2 days, you would have 3 days to make-up the work.). If you have an unexcused absence you may choose to complete the assignments in order to keep up with the class; however, I am under no obligation to grade the work. If you are absent on the review day before a test/quiz and return on the day of the test/quiz you will be expected to take the test/quiz as scheduled. Grades for any missed assessments will automatically be recorded as a zero until the work is made up. It is your responsibility to ensure that all work is made up. You must show me the work, I will not ask for it. Anyone who is in ISS when a test/quiz is given will be expected to take the test/quiz in ISS. You will be expected to turn in all assignments as soon as you return from ISS. If you miss class due to a field trip, make sure that you ask me for the assignments BEFORE you go on the field trip so that you will be prepared for class on the day you return.

I) Tardy Policy:
To avoid being counted tardy, students must be seated and ready for class when the
bell rings.

*See your student handbook for detailed information on absences (pages 13-15) and tardies
(pages 15-16).

J) Hall Passes:
Please try to come to class prepared so that you do not have to leave the room and miss instruction time. If you must leave the room for any reason, make sure you carry a pass
with you.

K) Detention and Make-up Sessions:
The Math Department holds sessions before school on Tuesdays in room 214 from 7:15 until 8:10 AM and after school on Thursdays in room 214 from 3:30 until 4:25 PM. Be prompt. There is no extended time. All make-up tests and quizzes will be there in a folder under “Accurso.” If you are serving a detention, you must sign in to receive credit.

.

L) Academic Integrity and Cheating:
Students are expected to uphold the highest standards. Cheating is considered a serious matter. The parent(s) of a student who has been involved in cheating will be notified and the student will receive a grade of zero for the assignment, and a grade of U in conduct. The student will be referred to her/his appropriate administrator.
For this course, cheating is defined as, but not limited to the following:

§ Copying anyone’s answers to any assignment.
§ Copying homework answers out of the back of the book.
§ Looking onto another student’s paper during a test or quiz.
§ Having available any study notes or other test aids during a test or quiz without the
Teacher’s permission.
§ Collaborating on assignments when independent work is expected.
§ Students displaying a cell phone during a test or quiz.
§ Talking or communicating in any manner during a test or quiz (even if you have finished your test or quiz).

*Your work must always support your answer!

*See student handbook for additional information on academic integrity and cheating.


M)Grading:
Grades for Fall Semester will be averaged as follows:

Tests 50%
Quizzes 20%
Classwork/Homework 15%
Final Exam 15%

Alg 3 B - we have a quiz on the Unit Circle (just the coordinates) on Tues, Mar. 17th....we are starting a new trig segment which includes trig proofs and solving trig equations. It is difficult material and there is extra help sessions every day this week before school EXCEPT Tues, 3/17.


Alg 3 Y - we have a test on Chap 4 on Wed, March 18th and then a midterm over the first half of the term on Mon, March 23rd.


CALCULUS - we are continuing on tghe derivatives half of the semester and just completed another exam on derivatives. The next test will not be for a couple of weeks followed by the midterm exam.

ALG 3 B working on solving triangles (all sides, all angles) given for non-right triangles....will be focusing on these using Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. Next trig exam will be on Thur, 3/12.


ALG 3 Y we are finishing chapter 3 which is dealing with finding all zeros of a function and also testing out factors of a given polynomial function. Test on this will be on Thur, 3/5. Then, we will proceed into chapter 4 and that deals with rational functions and conic section. This will take us roughly 8-10 school days to get through this somewhat difficult material.


CALCULUS We are blazing away on derivatives and uses of them. Their next test will be on Mon, March 9th.


Thanks!!!!

Sorry for the delay in posting out blog updates but had the State Swim & Dive meet last week and was just consumed with that......But hey, the Lassiter girls are State Champs again (2nd in a row) and we are excited.....Here we go-

Alg 3 B - we are well into the trig unit and this will consume them for several weeks yet. We are starting on graphing the trig functions and will have our first trig test next Mon, 2/23. Extra help this week Tues - Fri Before school (roughly 7:40 am)


Alg 3 Y - we are working on function transformations and observations of graphs and what all comes from that. Also included in function combinations and inverses of functions. This material is from chapter 2 and the exam for this will be on Fri, 2/20.


CALCULUS - Derivatives are the main unit right now and will be roughly until spring break.....their next quiz will be on the chain rule and applications of the derivative and this quix will be on Tues, 2/24.
