Two Rivers Math

Individualized: Math at Two Rivers is an individualized and personalized program. Each students' current proficiencies are assessed during the intake process. They are placed in a curriculum that matches their specific level of mastery.
Continual Assessment: Work, effort and achievement are monitored daily by both student and staff. Continual progress is achieved as students work independently at their own rate with continuous mentoring by the instructor. Math Points are awarded for completion of Sections in Text Books. Assessment is based on students ability to Explain what they have learned. (Click here to see Math Points and Explaining Sections)
Materials: Students use district adopted math texts and numerous hands on math labs during a 75 minute period of sustained learning. 
Credit: Credit may be earned in:  Pre-Algebra, Algebra I,  Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Two credits of math are required for graduation.

Math Class Student Contract

Math Learning Contract

Student Name:_____________________   Advisor:__________________________

Contract Expiration:  June             

Credit Goal:_________________

During the course of this contract period and in accordance with the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements I will:

1. Understand and apply the concepts and procedures of mathematics. 2. Use mathematics to define and solve problems. 3. Use mathematical reasoning. 4. Communicate knowledge and understanding in both everyday and mathematical language. 5. Understand how mathematical ideas connect within mathematics, to other subject areas, and to real life situations.

EXPECTATIONS:  I am expected to come to class; participate in all activities; be prepared everyday with pen/pencil, notebook, and paper; and complete the assignments given by the instructor.  I understand that I will be evaluated on the basis of attendance and participation, quality of work, and timely completions of assignments.

To make normal progress, the student will record at least 300 minutes per week working on this credit (150 minutes for class time and 150 minutes outside of class).

I understand that I will receive 1.0 credit for each 1000 points I earn, .5 credit for each 500 points I earn, and .25 credit for each 250 points I earn. Points are earned through completion of class assignments that demonstrate personal growth in the Essential Academic Learning Requirements.

We mutually agree to commit ourselves to attaining this course of objectives.  Further, we recognize that all of the student’s responsibilities are a part of each contract.
