Course Expectations:

Respect and fairness are essential to a successful learning environment. We have discuss these topics in class as well as discussing the increased responsibility of being seventh graders.

Class Participation: Active involvement in class is expected. Coming to class prepared with all the necessary materials, following along, note taking, making necessary corrections and contributing in class are all part of participation.

Homework: Homework is an important part of learning and developing math skills. It is to be done neatly in pencil only. In class corrections will be made in pen. Homework is usually assigned daily. Homework not completed (or presented at the start of class) will receive a zero that day. Students will have the opportunity to make up late homework for up to 80% credit. If the homework was due prior to progress reports, students have until the Friday before progress reports to pass in missed homework. If the assignment was due after progress reports, students have until the Friday before the quarter closes to pass in any missed homework. “NO HOMEWORK PINK SLIPS” will be my means of communicating your student’s homework record to you (see the no homework pink slip page on my website for further details).

Absences: It is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed work. Students should check my website for postings. He or she will be given as many days as they were absent to make up missed work. After that time the late homework policy applies.

Quizzes & Tests: Quizzes will usually be announced one day in advance. Tests will be announced at least 2 days in advance.

Extra Help: I will be available after school Mondays and Thursdays. If a student would like help either during activity period or before school they must see me, in advance, to make arrangements and to get a pass.

Extra-Credit: There will be extra-credit opportunities available. Students are expected to complete expected credit for required work BEFORE they can earn “EXTRA” credit. Students need to see me outside of class time to discuss any other arrangements.

Grades:

Homework 30% (completion 20%, accuracy 10%)

Quizzes 20%

Tests 40%

Participation 10%
