Classroom Procedures Agenda –Write homework daily Warmup or Wordy Wednesday Check homework –Homework is assigned almost every Monday – Thursday, and will typically take about 20 minutes. –When in doubt check the Math blog! Daily Assignments –Activator –Learning new skills and practicing those skills –Closing / Homework Quiz or Test EVERY Friday!

11. Got Work? Make-up Work –It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that all work is made up. –Check the Math Blog –Number of days absent plus one additional day to turn in work. Late Work –Students who turn in late work will receive partial credit. –10 points will be deducted for each day late (up to three days)

12. Grading Grading Procedures 25% Daily Work (classwork, warm-ups) 30% Formative Assessments (quizzes, performance tasks) 10% Homework/Online Practice 35% Summative Assessments (tests & projects) Grading Scale A 90 – 100 B 80 – 89 C 74 – 79 D 70 – 73 F 0 - 69

13. Grading Progress Reports & Report Cards 1 st 6 Weeks Progress…….. 9/18 2 nd 6 Weeks Progress…..…11/6 1 st Semester Report Card….1/8 4 th 6 Weeks Progress…..…2/26 5 th 6 Weeks Progress……..4/15 2 nd Sem. Report Card (mailed).. 6/1 Honor Roll All A’s or A’s and B’s AND ALL S’s in conduct Pass vs. Fail Retention is likely if a student fails 3 classes in 6 th grade. This is determined by averaging the grades for both semesters. For example, if Little Johnny makes a 65 in math for Semester 1, he needs a 75 in math for Semester 2 to have a 70 (passing) average for the year.

17. MATH – How can you help your child be successful? Make sure your child is completing nightly homework PLEASE don’t say, “I was never good at math either.” That often makes it seem like the kids have a “pass.” Check the blog for fun games and videos if your child isn’t proficient Make sure your child is studying for Friday’s quiz/test Use the MSG!! (The study guide for the unit is already there!!) Be knowledgeable of the topics your child is learning, and point them out in everyday situations. Show them math in the “real world” to help them see the relevance. Ask your child to show you what he or she is learning
