Please log in to Google Classroom and join our Classroom

Google Classroom: Our Google Classroom will be used for everything. At the end of each ODD day I will post the class notes, assignment, and a partial key in the “CLASSWORK” tab.

If you are absent, please be sure to check the GC for anything due. All material is expected to be completed by the due date, even if you miss class. Please check that BEFORE you email me about anything.

The “STREAM” will be used for last minute announcements and reminders.

EXTRA HELP:

· We have a Math Success Center available for extra help during periods 1-6 in the math office. You may use this on an as-needed basis and can drop in anytime.

· You may also get help during TRIBE.

SUPPLIES:

--Student calendar

--Pencils (please complete all assignments in pencil, any assignments/assessments completed in pen will not be graded)

--Calculator--TI-83 or TI-84 are strongly recommended; calculators will not be permitted on some assignments, quizzes, and exams

*CELL PHONES CANNOT BE USED FOR CALCULATORS

ATTENDANCE:

Good attendance is a critical part to being successful in school. Since we are on a block schedule, when you miss one class it is really like missing two. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check the GC for what you missed BEFORE you return to class. Please don’t email me and ask me what you missed. Please take time to read through and copy the notes in your notebook BEFORE COMING IN FOR HELP.

· After 3 unexcused tardies you will be assigned detention

BATHROOM BREAKS:

Students will be given 3 bathroom break passes to use throughout the semester. When possible, please use the bathroom before school, during lunch, or during passing periods.

GRADES:

--Grades will usually be updated each week starting the third week in the semester

--Extra credit will NOT be offered at any time during the semester

--I use a standard 100-90 = A, 89-80 = B, etc. scale

--Please refer to the student handbook for a definition of academic dishonesty. All incidents will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Homework—will be given each class period. You are expected to check your HW every night in the GC before coming to class the following class. Sometimes, I will randomly select one problem to check for correctness on the HW. For full credit you must SHOW ALL WORK and CIRCLE/BOX your answers

**Regular homework completion is essential to be successful in this class

Quizzes--points will vary;

Exams We will have an exam at the end of each unit, usually 100 points but may vary depending on the unit

TEST MAKE-UPS

If you are absent for a test, you MUST make it up in the Math Success Center in the Math Office during periods 1-6. It is always better to take the exam on the original date so please do everything you can to be present on testing days. If you do not have an off hour period 1 - 6, please see me to make alternate arrangements.

*A quiz/test must be made up within a week of the original date of the test. After a week, 10% will be deducted from your score for every opportunity you have chosen not to make it up.

**Missing the class period before a test or quiz does not exclude you from taking the test at the scheduled date and time. Be sure you check the GC for any missed reviews or keys.

HOW TO STUDY FOR A MATH TEST…

1. Take good notes…this is not a movie, be an active participant

2. Work through problems; Look back at HW, notes, old quizzes…actually DO problems, don’t just look at them

3. Work through the study guide once with notes then print another copy and work through it EXACTLY like you would take the test

4. Create a study group with other Algebra II students

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Understanding the material that is on the homework is critical to being successful in this class. If you do not understand the material from class or homework, PLEASE try some alternate resources. Here are a few suggestions:

--Khanacademy.com

--Search the topic in youtube videos
