Homework Due Friday Now that you know about me…. I want to get to know you! Journal Entry #1 Due Friday– first homework assignment of the term! Be as honest as possible * College Algebra F is due Monday (you don’t have me Friday)

Folders Folders live in the classroom- when you exit my classroom, the folders get put back in the bin! Do not destroy your folder; it needs to last the entire year Left Side: To You Right Side: To Stonebraker/Stoney

Folder vs. Binder What goes in my folder? What goes in my math binder? Do Now/Exit Ticket Homework Check Ins Notes/Concerns Things that I grade and hand back What goes in my math binder? Notes Corrected Homework/Assessments Review Packets

Grading Policy- Algebra 75% Assessments 15% Homework 10% Classwork

Grading Policy- Calculus 85% Assessments 15% Work

The New Schedule…. Be Aware This year things will be different You may have only a half period of review before a quiz, I may teach the first half. Quizzes may only end up taking half the period, and then I teach for the other half You may not have the same exact homework assignment/test dates as people in my other courses. You may have a day of review with me, no class the next day, and then a test the following day. You have quizzes/tests on Mondays! Bottom Line: Be Aware

Late Policy Homework can be handed in up to three days late. One point per day will be deducted from the grade Past three days, homework will not be accepted for credit.

Materials Pencil/Writing Utensil Binder **Yes. Binder. You need a binder******* Calculator- TI-83 or TI-84 is preferred
