Extra Help After school help is available on Mondays and Thursdays from 2:30 – 3:00. There will be peer tutors and high school helpers. Late bus or late pick-up

Portal/Grades Please check the portal for grades and assignments. I will create an assignment when it is assigned, and enter the grades after it is received/completed. I try to update regularly, so grades should be in within a week or less. Blank spaces means no grades; missing is marked with a 0 or M.

Tests/Quizzes We will have a chapter test at the end of every unit (chapter) and 1 – 2 quizzes throughout the chapter. Tests will be more comprehensive; can include vocab and problem-solving. Quizzes are a great check-in to assess and gauge understanding (for student). Announced; posted on website

How to Study Students should review notes and classwork. Vocab is key Practice problems from book - try odds (answers in back) Make up a “practice test” End of chapter review and wrap-up Online resources – Kahn academy

Re-tests and Make-Up Tests Students have the option of taking a re-test if their grade is below a 70%. Re-tests/make-up tests are typically Tuesday after school or at lunch. Students should make arrangements with me. I will not require a re-test, but will suggest it.

Class Expectations Students are expected to come to class prepared: binder, copybook, textbook, pencil, homework, and packet. We take notes in class every day and do several practice problems. Write down homework in agenda Independent work – at times can start homework Self-monitor; self-regulate Math Journal

Topics We Will Cover Real Number System Operations with Integers Algebraic Expressions and Inequalities Geometry Volume and Surface Area Statistics and Probability

Math In Focus Approach Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them Reason abstractly & quantitatively Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for & make use of structure Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning

Questions? Write it on the index card with your name and e-mail address, and I will respond directly to you.
