Culver City High School 2018 - 2019
Course: Integrated Algebra
Ms. Donahue & Mr. Marsh
Course Description: This year course focuses on essential algebra standards that will help students build a strong foundation to best prepare them for upper levels of mathematics. Course curriculum is aligned with California State Common Core Algebra I Standards. There will be several Concept Categories covered. Each Concept Category will include Depth of Knowledge problems with various levels of understanding; Recall (DOK 1), Routine (DOK 2), and Non-Routine (DOK 3). Successful completion of this course with a C grade proficiency or higher will advance students to Geometry and/or Algebra 2.
Course Description:
Though more will be covered over the course of the year, the following essential standards/skills are what every student must master in order to be considered minimally proficient in this course.
- HSA-CED.A.1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.
- HSA-CED.A.2: Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
- HSA-REI.C.6: Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately.
- HSF-IF.C.7a: Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima and minima.
Students are expected to maintain their understanding of each concept category and improve as the semester moves on. In order to help students with this endeavor, teachers will often include past math lessons throughout the semester.
Textbook & Supplementary Materials Provided:
- California ALGEBRA I (Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
- Each student is provided with all necessary school supplies
Homework: This is a part of the teaching cycle where students can practice the skills they were taught in class. Teachers will assign assignments to be turned in at specific dates. In addition, students will be responsible for choosing their own unique practice catered to their individual goals.
Absence Make-Up Work: Students will be responsible to make up any missed learning due to absences on their own time. This will include obtaining class notes, in-class assignments, and homework practice.
Grading Policy: The grading for this class is standards based and will include six Concept Categories. A rubric will be used to score each assessment. Students have multiple opportunities (throughout the year and also during finals) to demonstrate their level of understanding for specific Concepts Categories.
Course grades are calculated by averaging the most recent grades of mastery across all Concept Categories.

Assessments: There are three types of assessments that will cover the DOK levels for each Concept Category. The following table is used for assigning grades to each assessment.
4+: 100%
4: 95%
4-: 92%
3+: 88%

Quick Check: A Quick Check assesses a student's progress in a specific learning target. This assessment is given periodically throughout the Concept Category. Quick Check scores will be replaced when the student takes the Mastery Check for that specific Concept Category. Students should use the Quick Checks to self evaluate where they are in their understanding of the material and to inform them what they need to practice before taking the Mastery Check.
Mastery Checks (20% of semester grade): This is a cumulative test and is given at the end of the Concept Category. Students should expect the Mastery Check to include all the materials from the Concept Category including previously covered related content. Students should use the previous Quick Checks for practice problems, and to preview the expectations for the Mastery Checks.
Test Retakes: Students will be allowed a second chance to retake any Mastery Check where they did not show their desired proficiency. In order to be allowed to retake, the student must fully complete a defense assignment. This assignment is to ensure that the student has gained more understanding of the concept and learned what their errors were. A suggested time limit for students to make up the test will be arranged with the teacher.
Final Exams (80% of semester grade).
- Final Exam: This exam is given prior to finals week. It will include separate sections for each of the Concept Categories covered. Together all sections will count for 80% of the student's final grade.
- Retake Final: After grading is complete on the Final Exam, students will be given a second chance to prove proficiency for any Concept Category that they would like to improve on.
- Defense Assignment: Students must complete a Defense assignment before qualifying for the retake final. If a student does not complete the Defense assignment, they will not be allowed to take the retake final and the grade from the final exam will remain unchanged.
Mastery Rubric
Mastery Level
Meaning
4.0
∙ I can solve DOK level 1, 2 and 3 problems completely (recall, routine, non-routine).
∙ I can explain my approach and reasoning well enough to teach a peer.
3.0
∙ I can solve DOK level 1 and 2 problems completely (recall and routine).
∙ I can approach and create a plan for level 3 problems (non-routine) that might work.
∙ I can explain my reasoning process for a level 2 (routine) problem completely.
2.0
∙ I can solve a DOK level 1 and 2 problems completely (recall and routine).
∙ I do not know how to create a plan for level 3 problems yet (non-routine).
∙ I can explain how I approach and solve level 1 & 2 problems.
1.0
∙ I can solve a DOK level 1 problem completely (recall only).
∙ I do not know how to apply the concepts to solving level 2 and 3 problems yet.
∙ I can explain my solution path for the level 1 problem (recall only).
NY
∙ I really don’t get it yet, but I am trying different things I know.
∙ I am not sure which facts apply to solving the problems.
∙ I cannot remember how to approach any of the problems yet.
N
∙ I did not take this test.
∙ I left the test blank.
∙ I cheated on the test.
RESPECT: Behaving respectfully is THE MOST IMPORTANT expectation in my classroom. I expect that respect will be given not only between teacher and student, but between all students as well. This is a NO BULLY ZONE!
Students are expected to be productive during the time they are in class. “Productive” means being engaged in the learning environment and not interfering with other students learning or the teacher's ability to teach.
ATTENDANCE: As soon as the bell rings, students should be in their seats, prepared and ready to learn. “Prepared” means: have your pencils, textbook, notebook, supplies, and receptive mind ON when the bell rings. First and second tardies will receive a warning. Third and following tardies can warrant a school detention to be served within 7 days. Failure to serve a detention within 7 days can result in subsequent consequences. ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL FOR SUCCESS IN THIS CLASS!
DISCIPLINE: All students are responsible for following all existing Culver City High School rules and expectations. In addition, students must abide by Culver City USD and State of California Education Code.
