1 Mrs. Dropiewski 2013-2014 Welcome

2 This course reinforces mathematical skills taught in the earlier grades with additional advanced computation including an emphasis on Algebraic concepts. Students study fractions, decimals, percents, positive and negative integers and rational numbers. They become more proficient in using ratios, proportions and solving algebraic equations. Students will develop and expand problem solving skills (creatively and analytically) in order to solve word problems. It is very important that students master the concepts and skills of Pre - Algebra as they serve as a basis for future math courses (Algebra 1,geometry, Algebra 2, and statistics.)

3 Semester Grades Your semester grade is the grade that will appear on your high school transcripts. It is composed of three parts: 1 st Marking Period, 2 nd Marking period, and the Semester Exam. Each semester is graded separately thus you will receive an overall grade for 1 st semester and an overall grade for 2 nd semester. Semester grade calculation: 1 st marking period = 40% 2 nd marking period = 40% EXAM = 20%

4 Tests/Quizzes (65%) – There may be a few short quizzes every Friday. Other ( 35%) Included but not limited to the examples below: In Class work and Checks– Daily work will be dealt with in a variety of ways. Homework Projects
