1. Welcome Team 6C Math – Taylor Sternotti taylor.sternotti@ww-p.org

2. In All Team Classes Emphasis Will Be On: Organizational Skills “the explosion” Attendance and Make up Work Following both written & oral directions Being a self-directed learner. Learning Styles – Kinesthetic, Auditory, Visual Study Skills- Proof of study What is FLEX? Homework – Emphasis is on PROCESS – Show that you tried to solve each problem by showing some work. NO Blank ANSWERS

3. 3 Math classes use technology in the classroom: Network computer password to log on to Chromebook and Google Chrome Genesis account Team Calendar – will be switching to Google Calendars Online resources- Symbaloo Online textbook – user name and password (optional hardcopy textbook) Using Google Docs/Google Classroom for document/project sharing Math classes use technology in the classroom: Network computer password to log on to Chromebook and Google Chrome Genesis account Team Calendar – will be switching to Google Calendars Online resources- Symbaloo Online textbook – user name and password (optional hardcopy textbook) Using Google Docs/Google Classroom for document/project sharing

6. Homework & Class Preparation Rubric: Students are expected to arrive each day with a pencil, pen (of color), highlighter, math notebook (binder) and Chrome Book. Required Homework assignments will be scored on a scale from 0 – 2. 0 = No Homework; or criteria not followed on all problems; no work is shown; or not completed within time allotted. 1 = All Homework is completed within time allotted but it is either not according to criteria outlined or all work is not shown. 1 = All Homework is not completed within time allotted (handed in late) and according to the criteria outlined; all required work is shown. 2 = All Homework is completed within time allotted and according to the criteria outlined; all required work is shown. 6

7. Grades are calculated on a weighted scale. 85 % = All Assessments including: Tests, Projects, Quizzes, Graded Classwork, Take Home Assessments, In-Class Assessments, Collaborative Team Activities, Problem Solving Activities. 15 % = Homework including: Daily Homework, Long-Term Homework Assignments, Graded Homework Assignments **Includes textbook, worksheet and ChromeBook online homework 7 Grading Policy in Math

8. 8 Problem Solving 4-Step Problem Solving Approach Understand the Problem Make a Plan Use a variety of strategies Diagrams, work backward, find patterns, make tables, Venn diagrams, organized lists, draw pictures Carry Out the Plan Look Back

9. Algebra: Patterns and Sequences Expressions and Equations Integers & Coordinate Graphing Algebra provides the language through which we communicate the patterns in mathematics. Students will extend patterns, write and use rules to extend patterns using both words and algebraic symbols. Students will identify, translate, and write algebraic equations. Write and evaluate exponential expressions. Use Order of Operations. Write and solve one step equations using all four operations with positive numbers. Identify and graph integers on a number line. Locate and graph points on a coordinate plane using all four quadrants. Transform figures on a coordinate plane using translations, reflections and rotations Compare and order integers.

10. Numbers and Operations Understand how different types of numbers, such as fractions and decimals are related to each other. Quantity can be expressed numerically in different ways. Find GCF & LCM Prime Factorization Exponential Form Rational Number Operations and Solving one-step equations with Rational Numbers

11. 11 Data & Statistical Analysis Construct, Interpret, & Analyze: Bar Graphs Multi-bar graphs Line Graphs Multi-lined graphs Stem & Leaf Plots Box Plots Frequency Tables Histograms Line Plots Venn Diagrams Tape Diagrams Measures of Center Mean, Median, Mode, Range

12. Geometry Triangles and Polygons – Define and identify regular and irregular polygons – Distinguish between regular & irregular polygons – Identify lines of symmetry in regular and irregular polygons Transformations – Translations, rotations, and reflections – Transformations on a Coordinate Plane Volume and Surface Area: – Cube – Rectangular Prism – Fractional Parts Area and perimeter: – Rectangles- Squares – Parallelograms - Triangles - Trapezoids – Complex figures

13. Colleges and Universities DO NOT look at middle school transcripts Our students learn from making mistakes. 13
