**Course Objectives:** This course is designed to improve the student’s current mathematic skills in consumer mathematics. The goal of this course is to use skills related to Algebra, Geometry, and number sense in order to solve for real life problems and situations.

**Grading:** Each assignment is awarded a set number of points. Grades for reports cards are determined by dividing the number of total points available by the number of points earned.

**Homework:** Homework will be given on most nights. Homework is checked and graded on its due date, typically the next day. 5 points will be deducted for each day that an assignment is turned in late. If a student is absent he/she will be allowed two days to complete the assignments before points are deducted. All work in class and out will be completed in pencil-**NO EXCEPTIONS**! Any work not completed in pencil **must** be redone for credit.
