What are warm-ups?
Warm-ups is another word that I use for bellwork. It is the
daily work that
is to be completed when you first enter the room. It will
consist of one problem in MCT 2 format.
Will I need I binder for your class?
Yes! You will need a 3-ring binder that you will need to bring to
class
everyday! You will be expected to keep it organized and neat.
Organization
is a skill that we need to learn at an eary age and continue it
throughout
life.
May I use a pen in your class?
Sorry, but absolutely no pens are allowed. I will not accept any
work
completed in a pen, even if it is the pen with the eraser. All
work turned
it must be in pencil.
Will I have homework every night?
More than likely, yes! Homework is a method of practicing the
necessary
skills. Just like any sport, math is a skilled that has to be
mastered with
practice and time.
Do you accept late homework?
Unless you have an excused absence, late homework will not be
accepted!
Do I have to do group work?
Yes, Yes, Yes! Group work is very beneficial especially when you
are involved and participating. There are so many different ways
to solve a problem. When working in groups, you not only can
learn from me, you can learn from your group members and even
yourself.
When will we begin preparing for the MCT 2?
We will begin preparing for the MCT 2 on the first day of
school. We must
learn procedures and how to think in order to be successful on
the state
test. We will prepare for the MCT 2 each and everyday!
Will I succeed in your class?
I strongly believe that each student is capable of learning and
succeeding.
If you come to class prepared each day, practice and do your
homework,
complete all assignments, and give it your all, I know you will
do well and
succeed in Pre-Algebra this year!
