Grading The grading system is weighted and not based on total points! Each quarter: Tests35% Notebook 15% Homework15% Quizzes15% Tasks/Writing10% Exit Tickets 5% Participation/Preparation 5% Each semester: Quarter 142.5% Quarter 242.5% Semester Final15%

Tests Given at the end of each chapter May be corrected for half credit Problems need to be corrected and mistakes need to be explained in complete sentences. (Do not erase your original work!) Corrections need to be completed within one week after receiving the test score. Attach the corrections to the front of the test

Notebook Due on the day of each test Should be divided into the following sections: – Work to be turned in (in front of the first divider) – Notes – Tasks – Quizzes/Tests – Returned homework (for the current chapter) – Reference materials

Homework Due at the beginning of each class* Book work is graded using a rating system and correct answers, while other activities will be graded with a variety of scoring rubrics. (Please refer to the download for homework scoring guidelines.) Following an excused absence, you have two class periods to turn in the missed work. (ex. Absent Monday, due by Friday) * Please see Mrs. Malone if you are involved in an approved tutoring program. Due dates may be adjusted to fit your tutoring schedule.

Late Work Work that is not submitted at the beginning of the class period is considered late. Late work for each chapter will be accepted for half credit if it is submitted on or before the day of the chapter test.

Quizzes 2-3 per chapter May be corrected for half credit (refer to the slide “Tests” for the correction procedures) Keep returned quizzes in your notebook to help you study for the next test

Tasks/Writing Tasks are application problems that are more in depth than a typical story problem in a textbook. Their format is consistent with common core test questions. Writing activities may be related to a task or a selected reading assignment. Students will have access to the scoring rubric before starting an activity

Exit Tickets At the end of each class period, students will turn in one sheet of paper on which they will have completed the warm up problems, recorded information from in-class activities, and summarized the conceptual learning for the day. The questions and summary must be in complete sentences to receive full credit.

Participation/Preparation Students are expected to come to each class with the required materials and tools and to remain on task throughout the period. Unlike the other portions of the grade, participation/preparation points will start at 100 and be reduced if infractions occur. At the beginning of the year, students will be made aware that behavior is considered “off task” in Mrs. Malone’s room before losing points. The following slide contains a list of the most commonly occurring infractions, but is not exhaustive.

Common infractions include: Unexcused absence -5 Unexcused tardy-2 Using a cell phone in class-1 “Off task” behavior-1 Missing materials (i.e. textbook, compass)-1 Severe classroom disruptions will be handled as outlined in the Skyview Student Handbook.
