Additional concepts include decimals, graphing and patterns, fractions, geometry and volume. Students will be assessed using quizzes and chapter tests. They will receive daily homework as well as weekly IXL assignments. Each chapter in math builds on the previous, so if your child is absent it is very important for them to check in with me for any missing work/notes.

Mathematics homework will be assigned daily and students are expected to complete it and turn it in each day. I update the class website every Monday with class goals, important/assessment dates and homework. Therefore, please check it often throughout the week. Students may receive detentions and drop in effort grades for multiple incompletes. Let’s Have a Great Year!!! · Computer Programs Absences in Math Math IXL will be assigned each Monday. Students will have 1 week to complete IXL. They must work to 80% to be complete. This program is very important for reinforcing concepts from class and to give students time to practice new skills.. IXL completion will be reflected in effort grades. All user names and passwords will be given throughout the first weeks of school. If absent, kindly contact a student or look at the website and make up any missed work within the allotted time. If you miss a benchmark test or quiz set a date for making it up. This can be done before school on some days, or during class time if necessary.
