assessments during the term in order to show mastery of the course content. In addition to the 7
exams, formative assignments designed to promote understanding will occur throughout the course.
Staying on task and keeping pace with the class is important. The mark you achieve in class will be
worth 70% of your final Math 10-C mark, leaving the Final Exam worth 30% of your final class mark.
Required Materials
Foundations and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 10 textbook, a binder, a pencil, and an approved
graphing calculator (TI 83 Plus, TI 84, or TI 84 Plus).

Cumulative Assessments
Material covered in units 1-4 will be evaluated again on Cumulative Assessment I. Your unit
marks will be determined by the best evidence of learning.
Material covered in units 5-7 will be evaluated again on Cumulative Assessment II. Your unit
marks will be determined by the best evidence of learning.
Individual records of all summative and formative work will be available to students and
parents on Maplewood
Expectations
1. Be on time for class. You are expected to be in your desk and ready to work by the bell
2. Attend class regularly. You are expected to be present for all classes so that you can

take an active part in your education. You are responsible for making up work missed
when you are absent.
Complete homework on time. You are expected to complete your homework on time.
Homework will not be marked, however not completing it in a timely matter will
negatively affect your achievement on quizzes and exams.
Bring materials to class. You are expected to bring your textbook, notebook, pencil,
eraser, and calculator to class.
Go to the bathroom before class. You are expected to use the washroom during the
breaks between classes. It is a disruption to the entire class when you need to leave. If
you must, wait for a break in the lesson or during work time to minimize the disruption.
Be organized. You are expected to keep a neat, organized notebook.
If you need extra help.let me know right away so things do not snowball on you. Call
me at the school, email me, ask in class. We can also set up extra time during Flex or
lunch to meet.

To Parents
This class is a video conference class. The best way to contact me is by calling the school at 403-5223828 or emailing me at alicea.sliwkanich@plrd.ab.ca. If your child is going to be missing a block of
classes (for vacation, tournaments, family/medical reasons, etc) I appreciate a notice so I can
provide them with a general guideline of what they will be missing. Marks are available on
Maplewood and you can sign in at your convenience. For Parent Teacher Interviews, there will be
time provided by your school to video conference to me so we can have a conversation.
