Mercer Middle School Welcome to 6 th grade Mr. Maclin Math 6

Materials Needed Daily Math 3- ring binder Pencils/Pen (blue, black, and red ink) Textbooks (Math-Blue book reference) Loose-leaf notebook paper Student agenda

The following supplies should be available for home use: Calculator Protractor Ruler Colored pencils or crayons Computer ( w/ internet if available)

Homework Practices (Math) Homework will be assigned on a daily basis. It will be checked for completion in class. I believe homework is assigned for reinforcement of what was taught in class. Therefore, it is important for students to complete their homework to improve their math skills.

Homework is due the very next class period. Homework and other assignments will be written on the board and should be copied by the students everyday in his/her school provided agenda. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that his/her homework is copied down into the agenda.

Procedure for an Absence (Math) Students that are absent will be given as many days they were absent to complete any make-up work. If an assignment was due the day of their absence it is due the day they return. All make-up summative assessments will need to be made up as soon as possible, preferable the day they return.

Classroom Expectations (Math) I believe in having high expectations for students to follow and I feel that each student should abide by the expectations. The essential reason we all here is for each child to learn. In order for this to occur, the students need to have a comfortable, orderly learning environment.

Formatives (Homework/Assessments) Formative Assessments- Homework is given every class! You must write your assignments in your agenda daily! Math homework is due the next class…please do not wait until resource class to start it! Homework is worth 2 points if it is completed and on time, 1 point if it is incomplete or a day late, 0 points after that. These are formative assessments and are not counted a quarterly grade, but are an indication of how well they are progressing towards mastery of these new concepts. Formative Assessments- Check (for understanding) Classwork checks/Intro/exit tickets are use to assess understanding of the concepts taught. This will be on a scale progression of: (4-exceeds)-(3-meets)-(2-Progressing)-(1-Below) and is NOT a direct contribution to a student’s grade.

Summative Assessments- (Quizzes/Test) Try to do your best the first time! (study, study, study) If a student earns a 60% or below, they must take a re-take. ***Re-takes are only given when corrections are made on the quiz/test, when all homework is completed and when the student participates in some re-teaching time prior to retaking the assessment. The re-take will not be exactly the same as the original assessment.
