Assignments 25%  Learning Checks – short & individual  Some Warm Ups, Exit Tickets, Class work  Partner Quizzes - used for reviewing concepts in a cooperative group setting  HW will NOT be graded It is the expectation that students do the assigned homework in their math journal each night, self-correct from my website with red pen, and fill in the Learning Log

7. Homework – Not Graded  The purpose of homework is for students to have an opportunity for independent practice to apply skills and concepts learned in class.  Completing, self- correcting, and accurately fixing errors on homework will help students do well on all other assigned work in class.  We will discuss struggles/issues on the homework during class as time allows.  Answers are available on Connect: http://connect.issaquah.wednet.edu/middle/maywood/staf f/ms_weiks_site/default.aspx
