8. Grading Policy
Grades will be determined using a point system. All tests/ quizzes/ projects will be given a point value. The number of points received divided by the total possible points will be the numerical grade.

9. Homework
Homework is an essential part of this class. It will be checked daily. An honest effort is expected. If a student can’t do a particular problem, I ask them to circle the problem so I can make sure to review it with them.

10. How can your student study for math?
Review classroom problems
Use “Homework Helpers”- link on my webpage
Practice skills using IXL
Use links for recommended review sites
Use classroom study guides and cover answers to check if the same answers are reached
