Class Procedures 7th grade mathematics

What do I need each day? Pencils Notebook paper Binder Digits book…. YES! Bring your digits book EVERY day!!!

Binder Your math binder will need 3 dividers 1. Journal 2. Notes 3. Tests/Quizzes

Entering Class You may enter the classroom when all the students from the previous class have exited. When you enter the room, you are to take out your binder and Digits book. You will see a warm-up for you to begin on the board, generally 3 questions, that you write in the journal section of your binder

Journal Each day you will complete a warm-up in the section of your binder labeled “Journal” You will write the title, questions, and answer the questions Occasionally instead of an actual warm-up, we will have competitions to list as many perfect squares as possible/ square roots, or learn about a famous mathematician’s life

Warm-Ups Warm-ups will be collected monthly for a classwork grade Each day late, 10points are taken off your overall grade Each warm-up is worth 7 points Title= 1 point Question= 1 point (x3 for three questions) Answer= 1 point (x3 for three answers)

Teams You are a member of an important learning team. Teams are assigned and will change monthly Each team can earn points throughout the day for all doing their homework, working together, helping, answering correctly etc.

Teams In your team box, you can find Team Point Sheets. Here is where you keep track of your team’s point earned daily. You turn the sheet in at the end of class, so they can be tallied. The end of the month, the team with the most points wins a prize.

Team Responsibilities What are the numbers for? When you are told to work with your team or given a project, you will be given roles to play that change depending on the project.

Turning Items In… Items are turned in to the student center; there you will see a drawer with your class period. Turn in items into the drawer labeled your class period.

Student Center You will find everything you need here… “Turning in” tray Scissors Glue sticks Markers Tissues/ Hand Sanitizer Team Points box Stapler, hole punch, and tape

Procedures Raise your hand if you have a question Ask before sharpening your pencil You DO NOT need to ask to get tissue Your agenda is your hall pass. If you need to go to the restroom, the nurse, or the office, you will need to fill out the back of your agenda. YOU fill out the date, time, and place I sign

Expectations Listen to instructions Enter and exit prepared Always try your best Respect yourself and others No excuses!

Repercussions Students will be given a warning when misbehaving and silent lunch after that. Students who earn silent lunch in a different class can earn silent lunch for the next day or no recess. Referrals depend on specific cases but generally occur if repeated misbehavior or disrespect

Tests/Quizzes When getting a grade lower than a 70%, parents must sign acknowledging they know what grade you got. Test corrections: We do complete test corrections. If you would like to correct a test, no matter what grade you got previously, you can! Write question, answer, and explanation on a separate sheet of paper and submit by due date with parent signature

Homework Homework will be given two or three times a week. It will be offered online, but can be printed if students do not want to do it online. You get two nights to complete your homework Students who do not do their homework receive an automatic silent lunch. 5 occasions when homework is not turned in on time will result in a referral.

Calculators If you want to buy your own calculator, a basic four function is all that’s needed. If it has square root, that is acceptable as well. WE DO NOT USE CALCULATORS DURING CLASS TIME! (certain lessons I will allow it for practice, but don’t expect it often) Calculators can be used on tests and quizzes though!
