Century High School Benchmarks

Attendance: 

Students are expected to attend 100% of the time.  Century students have 4 one hour classes each day for a total of 20 hours of class each week.  If you miss a day or even a single hour, you are expected to make up the time (hour for hour) after school.  We keep track of these hours on the directed study course listed as period 9.

Grades: 

All students are expected to learn at a "C" level.  If you do not show competancy, you will be expected to continue working on the material until you have earned at least a grade of "C".

Credits:

All students are expected to earn at least 40 credits per semester and 100 credits in a one year time period.

Mathematics expectations

ALGEBRA

Students are expected to give a full hour of productive work each period.

Students should be able to apply the concepts learned from the textbook to answer the questions on their chapter quizzes and tests with a 70% or better grade.

The following is a list of the teacher’s expectations:

1. Students will learn how to decode word problems and apply this knowledge in their solutions.
2. Students will be able to solve multi-step equations, inequalities and polynomials.
3. Students will be able to solve perimeter and area word problems.
4. Students will be able to calculate mean, mode, and median.
5. Students will apply the concepts of percent and proportions to problem solving and applications.
6. Students will be able to apply the concepts of simple interest and discount to problem solving and applications.
7. Students will be able to graph linear equations and find the intercepts and the slope.

GEOMETRY

Students are expected to give a full hour of productive work each period.

Students should be able to apply the concepts learned from the textbook to answer the questions on their chapter quizzes and tests with a 70% or better grade.

The following is a list of the teacher’s expectations:

1. Students will learn how to decode word problems and apply this knowledge in their solutions.
2. Students will be apply geometric formulas to solve multi-step area, surface area, and volume problems.
3. Students will use inductive reasoning in problem solving and in the application of Geometry Theorems.
4. Students will apply Pythagorean’s Theorem in solving distance word problems.
5. Students will be able to apply the concept congruency to various geometric shapes and linear segments.
6. Students will master the skill needed to find angle and perpendicular bisectors.
