Who is Mrs. Weik?  This is my 31 st year of teaching.  I attended May Valley, Briarwood, Apollo, Maywood & Liberty and all three of my children graduated from Liberty.  Married for 26 years and absolutely love teaching math at Maywood!!  I’m also the Dean of Students at Maywood and couldn’t work in a better place.

Curriculum Middle School Math in the Issaquah School District is taught using Connected Math Program (CMP)  The CC7/8 curriculum is taught using the Connected Math Program 3(CMP3).  Supports CCSS (Common Core State Standards)  We will do all 8 units in order (not all lessons) of CC7  Plus 2 units from the CMP3- 8 th grade curriculum  First Unit: Shapes & Designs!

Assessments 75%  Usually students will have one or two quizzes and one test per unit.  Students will be allowed to retake quizzes and tests.  The student’s retake score will replace the original score.

Assessments Cont. All students are eligible to retake a quiz or unit test under the following conditions:  Students must present a signed form stating they reviewed the concepts with an adult and are prepared to show improvement.  Quiz retakes must be completed prior to the unit test.  Test Retakes must be completed within 2 weeks of the original test.  Students are responsible for scheduling retakes with their teacher. *Most retakes are completed after school during Math Lab.

Assignments 25%  Learning Checks – short & individual  Some Warm Ups, Exit Tickets, Class work  Partner Quizzes - used for reviewing concepts in a cooperative group setting  HW will NOT be graded It is the expectation that students do the assigned homework in their math journal each night, self-correct from my website with red pen, and fill in the Learning Log

Homework – Not Graded  The purpose of homework is for students to have an opportunity for independent practice to apply skills and concepts learned in class.  Completing, self- correcting, and accurately fixing errors on homework will help students do well on all other assigned work in class.  We will discuss struggles/issues on the homework during class as time allows.  Answers are available on Connect: f/ms_weiks_site/default.aspx
