Course Description
Numbers systems and graphing form the basis of Foundation Mathematics 2.
These content areas are presented from three perspectives;
1. to build upon our student’s current knowledge and skills in these areas
2. to create awareness of the key concepts that underlie these mathematical areas
3. to highlight connections to the scientific and technological uses of mathematics
In order to establish an environment favorable for learning, our students will be asked to
work collaboratively, sharing their ideas and assisting each other. They will also be asked to
regularly assess their learning skills and evaluate their work. The creation of this environment
at the start of the course will help to bring the students lasting success both in future
mathematics courses and across other curricula areas.
Textbook
Pre-Algebra Holt McDougal 2012
ISBN-13: 978-0-547-58777-6
Some courses follow a textbook page by page, however in this course the text book will be
treated as a resource to be dipped into when it can support our wider learning objectives.

Academic Integrity Policy
Everyone in the classroom will be expected to add to the learning environment by talking and
sharing their ideas about mathematics, as well as listening to and considering the thoughts of
their classmates. Whilst copying is unhelpful, sharing ideas is positive - students need to be
helped to see the difference.
Students who attempt to free-ride on the efforts of their teammates will be put under pressure
by their teammates and their teacher to get involved and positively contribute in the learning
process.
Students are expected to adhere to the Assumption College student handbook.
Behavioral Expectations
Students will be asked to work collaboratively, speaking English to discuss and share
mathematical ideas. Working together is a core modern skill, and students will be expected to
add positively to the learning environment and not behave in ways that stop themselves or
others working.
The teacher will regularly monitor the behavior of each student to see if they are on-task or
off-task. These observations will account for 15% of their grade.
Importantly, students will also be required to assess their own behavior throughout the
course, stating how they have helped or hindered their own learning and that of their
classmates. Their honest evaluations (moderated by the teacher) will contribute a further 5%
of their grade. This policy is designed to help each student develop self-discipline and
personal awareness.
All Thai students are expected to embrace the following desired characteristics:
 Love for the country and the King, faith in religion
 Possess discipline
 Eager to learn
 Be self-sufficient
 Dedicated to work
 Proud to be Thai
 Have a sense of public consciousness
 Be an AC gentleman
 Be honest and upright
Attendance & Tardiness
Attendance will be taken at the start of every class. Students are expected to be in class ontime. In the case of planned absences, please notify the teacher in as far in advance as
possible. Students are expected to catch up on all missed work outside of class time.
Homework & Classwork
Homework and classwork will be assigned often and must be submitted on the due date.
Students should be aware that much of their work will be conducted as a team, so not
completing their work will affect the grade of their teammates.

Course Description
The second semester for Universal mathematics begins with an introduction to algebra.
Students will first be shown algebraic representations for monomials, they will then build on
this and look at polynomials. They will then look at various manipulations of these through
addition, subtract, multiplication, and division. Later in the course, students will begin to
investigate different geometric forms and the relationship between two dimensional and three
dimensional figures. As with many courses within EP, critical thinking skills are emphasized
over those of rote learning and where possible an investigative approach is used. The course
will closely follow the order and content of the latest version of the course textbook, Holt
McDougal, Larson, Pre-Algebra.

Teacher moves round the class and checks the notes or
classwork. Students automatically get a max score, but if
the teacher sees that they have not completed the notes
or exercises they will have points deducted.
Homework will only be graded if there is a
parent/guardian signature to state that the work was
completed at home. If a signature is faked you will get
an automatic 0 for the semester.
This will be graded in as part of the class participation
and homework points:
Class Participation - their presentation
Homework - their preparation at home
(program mandated)
Students can get points by making a review sheet or
mock exam. This must be individual
work………questions must be different from the notes
and friends. Any copied work will receive a 0.
Recommendations for Success
Mathematics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try
the following:
1. Read, read, read the course textbook. Often, reading the text once is not enough even
for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to
understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school (typically
only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the material
and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Get a Thai language introductory mathematics book.
4. Get a math and/or physics tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing the
work for you!
5. Do not copy your classmates work; struggle through and do the work on your own!
This is how you learn!
6. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.
7. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.
We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the
chapter and see the teacher for the answers.
8. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in
homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.

Course Description
This introductory course to science focuses on Earth’s water and atmosphere. Introducing
water’s importance, the course will then identify what the water cycle is. We’ll then journey
into Earth’s atmosphere where we’ll examine energy transfer and wind movement. Finally,
we’ll learn about weather and climate and focus on what influences weather, how to predict
weather, how weather differs from climate, and how humans can reduce climate change. The
course will closely follow the order and content of the latest version of the American high
school textbook Earth’s Water and Atmosphere, by Holt McDougal. The course is
prerequisite to SC21103 Foundation Science.

Don’t play games or watch TV until your homework is done. Don’t stay up late. You should
be in bed by 8 or 9 pm so you can get a good night sleep. If you can’t get a good 8 hours of
sleep per night, it will affect both your attention span in class and your ability to learn.

Recommendations for Success
Don’t play games or watch TV until your homework is done. Don’t stay up late. You should
be in bed by 8 or 9 pm so you can get a good night sleep. If you can’t get a good 8 hours of
sleep per night, it will affect both your attention span in class and your ability to learn.

Recommendations for Success
Information technology can be a difficult course for many students. All students are
encouraged to try the following:
1. Read, read, read the textbook. Oftentimes, reading the text once is not enough even
for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to
understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school (typically
only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the material
and gain the most from the course.
2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in
class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic.
3. Do not copy your classmates work; struggle through and do the work on your own!
This is how you learn!
4. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance.
5. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook.
We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the
chapter and see the teacher for the answers.
6. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in
homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.
