Classroom Policies and Grading Procedures:
Homework/Classwork- 40%:
Homework and class work help develop skills necessary to master mathematics and will be assigned almost daily. Homework will be graded for completion and will be considered complete when
1. Each Problem is attempted with reasonable effort and all work is shown.
2. The heading is correct and the problems are properly numbered and labeled.
3. The student answers more than 70% of the questions correctly.
If for any of the aforementioned reasons, the homework is considered incomplete, the student may reattempt the homework, make the necessary corrections, and turn in the homework as a late assignment for partial credit. The first day late is a 90%. The second day late is an 80%. Homework more than two days late will receive a grade of 50%.
Tests/Quizzes- 40%:
Work must be shown for full credit.
Notebooks-10%:
Notebooks will be evaluated based upon organization and accommodation of class notes/class work assignments, homework, and graded assignments. The notebook will also consist of writing assignments done in class. The notebook grade also includes random checks for the student's daily agenda and I.D. badge.
9 Weeks Test-10%
***No credit will be given for answers only- ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN. A student may do corrections on homework, class work, and tests if, and only if, said student attends tutoring (7:45-8:30 AM, Monday through Friday or by appointment at lunch.)***
Progress Reports:
Progress Reports will be given to all students at the end of the 3rd and 6th week of each nine weeks. It is expected that the student will show the report to his/her parent and return the signed report within three days. It is the parent's responsibility to check grades regularly on Parent Portal and hold their child accountable for his/her progress.
Absences:
If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to check with the teacher to get the work they missed. It is also the responsibility of the student to copy missed notes from another student in class. If tutoring is necessary, it is the student's responsibility to come in for tutoring. Tutoring will be held in the morning from 7:45-8:30 AM, Monday through Friday or by appointment at lunch.. If this time is not convenient, the student is welcome to attend tutoring with any other math teacher, or with the after school tutoring programs.
