will start class each day
with a warm-up activity.
 These
activities will be written in
monthly calendar and graded at the
end of each month.
DAILY AGENDA
The
daily agenda will be posted
on the whiteboard on the RIGHT
side of the room. Past homework
assignments are written on the
calendar in the front of the room
by the door.
STUDENT PLANNER
 Students
complete daily by writing
down any homework or upcoming
quizzes, tests, or projects.
 Students can check their planner at
the end of each day and take home
only the items needed for homework
that night.
ASSIGNMENTS

In-class assignments are collected by me at the end of
the class period.
Homework assignments are reviewed, discussed, and
then I will check and grade them for completion.
 Homework assignments are due the following day.

Completed assignments are often needed for
discussion in class and may not be subject to being
turned in late.

There will be “homework quizzes” that will be graded on
accuracy.
ASSIGNMENTS CONT.


I will accept late work up to two days after the
due date for half credit only.
After the two days have passed, students will
receive a zero for that assignment.
MATH FOLDER
 Keep
all math work completed, in
progress, and graded in the math
folder for the entire grading period.

Past work is a great resource for
studying for chapter tests and final
exams
 Portfolio
(binder) Checks will also
be given for a participation grade.
EXTRA COPIES
 Emergency
extra copies of recent
assignments will be kept in the
folder rack on the front table.
ABSENT?
The daily and weekly agenda with assignments
will be updated daily on the calendar in the front
of the classroom.
 Students are responsible for getting that
information and completing the work as directed.
 Students should meet with me briefly at the end
of class the day they return for updates.


Students are usually given one extra day for each day
missed.
EXTRA CREDIT


I offer a “Math You Can Use” problem for extra
credit every other week. Students fill out a paper
with their work and answer, fold it up, write
their name and period number on the outside,
and turn it into the box on the front table. These
are collected on Fridays.
Extra credit will also be offered with TESTS and
will be directly calculated into their final test
score.

the term.
Grades are entered as often as possible and
usually updated at least once every seven days.
