Welcome to Math II Honors!
Math II H is a rigorous course that will prepare you well for upper level math and science classes.
Prerequisites include a good understanding of all Math I concepts, strong basic skills, and deep desire to
succeed. You will be expected to think critically and intuitively as you continue to develop problemsolving skills. Investigations and cooperative work are integral parts of this class. One thing I ask of you is
that you approach this course with an open mind, willing and ready to learn. I look forward to this
semester and to helping each one of you be successful in this class.

Course Expectations and Key(s) to Success
Do all homework the night it is assigned and check it in class the next day. You must show all your work to
receive full credit. Homework assignments include being prepared for class, i.e. bringing all necessary materials
to class with you.

Seek help IMMEDITATELY! If you do not understand today’s lesson, chances are you will not get tomorrow’s
either. “I do not understand” is not an excuse in this class. Extra help is available during SMART Lunch, or by
appointment.

Do not be absent. If you are, then plan to see me during SMART Lunch to make up the lesson. You can get your
missing assignments off my website. I will also provide a copy of missing work in the crate labeled “What you
missed.” You are expected to make up all the assignments you missed, including classwork and notes. You will
still be expected to take assessments on time. The longer you wait to make up missing work, the harder the
work becomes.

Be responsible and respectful. Follow school rules and use good judgment.
Classroom Rules
1. When the bell rings, you are expected to be in your seat with your homework on your desk
ready to be checked. Don’t be tardy!
2. Follow directions the first time they are given. Participate and ask questions. I LOVE
questions!
3. No cheating will be tolerated. If you are caught cheating, you will receive a zero for the
assignment and appropriate consequences will be enforced. Cheating is the act of receiving
information to use as your own, or the act of giving information to be used by someone else.
4. Clean the space around you before you leave the classroom.
5. Electronic devices are not to be seen, heard, or used in the classroom unless designated by the
teacher. Unauthorized devices will be confiscated and will not be returned until the end of the
school day.
