--------------------------------------
What do I do if I am absent?
Check the website for the homework. Ask me (Ms. Peets) and/or a friend what
class work was missed. Look on the shelf in the back of the room for any
handouts that you may not have received.
--------------------------------------
How are grades calculated?
Grades are calculated as follows:
Tests and quizzes are worth 40% of your grade.
Homework and classwork is worth 30% of your grade.
Openers and participation is worth 15% of your grade.
And finally, projects and presentations are worth 15% of your grade.
--------------------------------------
How do group tests work?
Each group test is taken in groups of 3 to 5 students. Everybody in the group
completes a test. They are clipped together and handed in at the end of the
testing period. I correct one of the tests for the group. Each person in the
group receives that grade.
Group tests are followed by individual tests. If you receive a higher grade on
the individual test, your group test score is replaced by your individual test
score (giving you two of the individual test scores). If, on the other hand,
you receive a lower grade on the individual test, you keep both the group and
individual test scores.
--------------------------------------
Where should I look if I lose something in room 36?
First you should look in the lost and found in the back of the room. Next, you
should look in the school lost and found.
--------------------------------------
Can I hand in late work?
Yes, for partial credit. The later the assignment, the less credit given.
--------------------------------------
What do I do if I need to go to the bathroom during math class?
Try to wait until I am not teaching a lesson or going over a concept. Look to
see if the bathroom pass is hanging on the hook in the front of the room.
Then, sign out in the black "bathroom binder" in the front of the classroom.
Take the bathroom pass and go.
--------------------------------------
What do I do if I am thirsty?
There is a drinking fountain in the front of the classroom.
--------------------------------------
What is the most important rule?
Be nice. To everyone.
--------------------------------------
What do I do if I need help?
Ask for it. If you do not understand something during class, come in before or
after school for help. If you need to meet during lunch or recess, set up an
appointment with me (Ms. Peets). I am more than happy to help and it usually
does not take too long.
--------------------------------------
What do I do if I need to get in touch with you?
email me at: mpeets@mvschools.org
call me at: 415-389-7711 x2736
--------------------------------------
What supplies do I need for math class?
pencils with erasers
correcting pen (purple, red, green, etc.)
highlighter
binder or folder with at least 3 sections--it can be one that you are already
using for another class
binder paper
graph paper
calculator (preferably in the TI-30x family)
colored pencils (optional)
Kleenex (extra credit--due by September 7th)
