1. Math Binder Setup

2. What will this be used for? The Binder will house the Bellwork assignments, Vocabulary, and notes that we cover over the semester. This is meant to be a resource for you and will be graded. It is important to note that you will have an opportunity to have access to your binders during test and quizzes*. The more you put into this resource the more you will have available to you. *This is contingent upon behavior*

3. How is it graded? The binder will be compared against Mr. Platt’s Master binder. The Master is available for any student to look at and compare at any appropriate time. The notebook will be evaluated on:  Organization  Vocabulary  Up to date Bellwork  Complete notes  Up to date assignments
