Here are your tests back
Overall, great job!! So proud of
you for finishing out the 1st 9
weeks strong 
You Have a FRESH START!!
• No matter what happened last semester, put it
behind you!
• We are moving on to completely new material.
• YOU CAN DO THIS!! 
A few things we need to improve upon
from last 9 weeks…
• Supplies – These are things you NEED to have in
order to be successful in my class.
• At least every other week, I will be making supply
checks. This is to see that you have a working pencil,
paper, calculator, and colored pen. (25 points each)
• This should be an EASY grade. You will not be
allowed to borrow from someone else for this unless
it is done BEFORE the bell rings and I don’t know
about it.
Homework
• I am noticing a trend where more and more of
you are starting to not complete your homework.
• There is a direct correlation between doing your
homework and improved grades.
• There will be more frequent homework checks
for accuracy.
Bathroom Passes
• We are starting over new. Every student should turn in ANY
that they have from last 9 weeks.
• You will no longer be able to just hold it up quickly and slip
out. I must verify before you leave and you must hand it to me
when you walk back in. This means you won’t be allowed to go
as often. NONE during the lesson at all. ONLY at the end of
class if there is free work time – then you may go.
• Each remaining bathroom pass will be worth 1 bonus point on
your lowest quiz grade.
• Use your time wisely between classes.
• If it does not have YOUR name on it – you may not use it!
Chit Chat
• There are lots of times that I don’t mind you talking –
however, we are abusing those times.
• When the bell rings, you become SILENT. You are
allowed to use calculators and notes for the Bellringer –
not each other. If I catch this happening, you will receive
a 0 for that day’s bell ringer.
• When I am talking or when I have called on another
student to talk – you will not talk during this time.
• Do not ask me if you may listen to music – this is a
privilege, not a right. It is a reward for good behavior!!
Getting Up During Class
• Do not get up while I am teaching or while
others are testing to throw things away. You can
keep it at your desk until class is over. It is VERY
distracting to me and to other students. Your
focus should be on the lesson when I am
teaching, not cleaning out your backpack.
• Keep your area CLEAN!!!!
Binder Clean Out
• You may throw everything away from last 9
weeks EXCEPT any study guides. Keep those to
study for your semester test!
Projects
• Place your poster on your desk. We are going to
observe these “museum style”.
• Each row will be considered a group. You will move
between the rows with your group.
• First, spend time looking at the posters on your row.
Then, when I say time is up, your entire group will
move to the next row of posters until you have had a
chance to see them all.
• After this is done, you will turn in both your poster
and your item cost sheet. Make sure every group
members name is on the project.

*I made a new folder name 1st 9 weeks. I moved all my other
folders in to that one. You may do the same if you want to!
Vocabulary
• Terminating Decimal – A decimal where the
division ends with a remainder of zero.
• Repeating Decimal – Decimals that have a
pattern in their digits that repeat without
end.
• Bar Notation – A bar or line placed over the
digit(s) that repeat.
Notes
• Any fraction a/b, where b ≠ 0, can be written as
a decimal by dividing the numerator by the
denominator. So a/b = a ÷ b.
