IMP4
Ms. Sia
2008-2009 Syllabus
Course Goals, Topics, and Units
Welcome to IMP4, the final year of a four-year math curriculum you are required to
complete in order to graduate. If you have been at SoJo for the past three years, you
know that you will be working through rich, complex mathematics problems that require
you to think in ways that you haven’t in more traditional math classes. One of my
main priorities this year is to prepare you for the discipline of attending
college, whether you plan on going or not! This year, we will be covering the
following units from the IMP3 and IMP4 textbooks:
Name of Unit Summary of Outcomes
Pollster’s
Dilemma [10
weeks]
Using sampling from a known population to analyze reliability
Developing the concept of a theoretical distribution for sampling results from a given
population
Reviewing the concept of normal distribution
Extending the concepts of mean and standard deviation from sets of data to
probability distributions
Meadows or
Malls? [8
weeks]
Review solving systems of linear inequalities and systems of linear equations
Solve systems of linear inequalities by graphing
Graph and solve equations in three variables, analyze possible intersections of
planes in space
Express linear systems as matrices, develop matrix operations to solve systems
It’s a Small
World [10
weeks]
Study rates of growth to develop concept of slope
Generalize concept of slope to idea of derivative (instantaneous rate of growth)
Make mathematical models of population growth
Learn and understand uses of e (logarithms, exponential functions)
High Dive [10
weeks]
Make connections between trigonometric functions and circular functions
Apply properties of graphs of sine and cosine functions to geometric situations
Make mathematical model of falling objects
Introduction to polar coordinates, inverse trigonometric functions, and Pythagorean
identity
Grading Policy
Your grade will follow the normal grade scale (90-100%=A, 80-89%=B, 70-79%=C, 60-
69%=D, 59 or below=F) and is determined by the following:
oWeekly homework assignments/notes 30%
oClass work and presentations 30%
oPOWs, quizzes, portfolios, and tests 20%
oSemester Finals 20%
I take NO late work whatsoever. The only exceptions are:
oIf you have an unexcused absence, proven by a reinstatement OR
oIf you speak with me at least 2 school days before the due date and I deem your
reason acceptable.
Course Expectations and Classroom Policies
You are a senior in high school now. You are expected to respect yourself, your peers,
your own and everyone else’s property, and your teachers. You are also expected to
raise your own standards regarding the effort you put forth in math class in order to
prepare for whatever comes next for you after high school. This means putting more

You are also expected to raise your own standards regarding the effort you put forth in math class in order to prepare for whatever comes next for you after high school. This means putting more

thought into ALL of your work, including POWs, homework explanations, tests, and note- taking. Tardies/Absences : Don’t be late. Just don’t do it. You will miss the bell-ringer, which is important in preparing you for the ACT’s. If you are absent for any reason, you must give me a reinstatement from the office. For any absence, you are responsible for finding out what you missed. If you missed a quiz, test, or a due date, you can only make it up/turn in the assignment if the absence is excused. If it is unexcused, you must accept a 0 for whatever was due that day. Bathroom/Water : You are never to leave the classroom without notifying Ms. Sia. To leave, you must ask for a pass. Classroom materials : Materials such as rulers, calculators, markers, paper, and books are available in the classroom. After borrowing, you must return the materials where they belong. You must come to class every day with a notebook, a folder, your agenda/assignment notebook, a graphing calculator, your IMP book, and a pencil. Your own eraser and pencil sharpener will be useful, too, because Sia’s pencil sharpener breaks frequently and never works. Tutoring : Ms. Sia is available for tutoring upon student request. Mr. Reitzel and Mr. Crye are also available for tutoring during Homework Hall, after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:30pm. Contact Information If you should ever have questions about homework assignments, quizzes, tests, or projects, the best way to contact Ms. Sia is through email: [email protected] You can also find updated calendars, homework assignments, and notes on Ms. Sia’s class website: http://sj.lvlhs.org/apps/classes/ and find your class period’s website. Keep track of your own progress and grade (please don’t forget your username and password!) on: http://www.engrade.com/students Please fill out and sign below and return to Ms. Sia to indicate that you have read the syllabus.
