Classroom Rules I <3 a Silent Start! Bring your supplies to class. Listen Carefully. Follow directions (First time given). Ask questions. Learn from your mistakes. Respect others. Be kind with your words and actions. Be positive! Respect our classroom and its contents. Follow the school-wide discipline policy.

My Math Goals Use Technology, manipulatives, centers, projects, tasks, worksheets, group problem solving, and the text book to teach mathematics. Make math fun and interesting. Relate math to “real life”. Use math to persevere in solving problems. Have a well disciplined classroom that wants to learn and teach others. Treat all students with respect. Treat all students equally follow the school discipline policy fairly. 12/29/2018

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

Homework Expectations Homework will be assigned every night Homework is worth 20% of your grades Homework must be done in pencil Show all of your work or you will not get credit!!!!! Be neat. Do not copy from a friend. Copying from a friend is cheating, not learning. 8/6/2018

Late Work Policy Assignments will be accepted late but will lose 10pts per day and need a parent signature to be turned in to me. Scms 2018-2019

Absent Work When you are absent, it is your responsibility to get all late work. Get any worksheets from the file on the back cabinet. Absentee buddies will write out any notes and put your name on your papers.

Miscellaneous Procedures Please help yourself to tissues and hand sanitizer located at each student center in the room. Use wipes to clean your desk frequently. If you feel like you have to throw-up please RUN to the bathroom, you can ask for a pass later!!!! Use pencil sharpener during class switch or in an emergency when teacher is not teaching.

Special Projects Each 9 weeks we will be completing at least one project. Projects will be graded using a scoring rubric. Projects count like Tests!

Grading Grades are a way for teachers, parents and students to monitor achievements and progress. Your academic work ethic in middle school is very important to securing your future in high school, college, and your career. Students and parents will view grades online this year using iNow the county’s online gradebook system. Grades this year impact next year’s math placement. Homework 20%, Tests 40%, classwork 40% 12/29/2018
