Grades! Homework, Classwork, participation is worth 25% Tests/Quizzes 75%

Quizzes and Tests For quizzes/tests: These will also always be announced ahead of time and tests will always occur at the end of each unit of study Review documents /study guides will always be given prior to the test so that you can study Students will have an opportunity to correct mistakes and retake a test Can only earn back at most 75% though, so there is a reason to study for the 1st time around!

Absent/Late Homework Absent HW: Students will have as many school days as absences to make up HW for full credit Otherwise the HW will be considered late Late HW: Assignment(s) considered late will be awarded partial (half) credit if turned in late

Tutoring If your child needs extra help with math, I will be available for tutoring from after school until 3:15 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Recommended Supplies Several sharpened pencils with erasers 2-3 pens for correcting 1-2 highlighters for note taking Lined notebook paper Graph paper Colored pencils Ruler 3-ring binder or a section in larger binder

In this class you will have to… Analyze Evaluate Justify

Please help me foster growth in our young mathematicians by: 1. Do not just give the answers 2. Asking them to make estimations 3. Asking them to help you calculate something 4. Asking them: What do you notice? What do you think? How do you know? 5. Not saying, “I was never good at math.”
