All math problems should be worked neatly in pencil. Numbers that cannot be read will be marked incorrect. Use labels when necessary.

20%-Daily Class Participation
Students will receive 5 points every day for participating in daily lesson activities such as Power Ups (facts, mental math, and problem solving), Warm Ups (brief skill review), Practice Sets, Investigations, and Labs.  When a student is absent, he/she will be required to complete these activities as make-up work.


20%-Homework
Students are generally required to complete one homework assignment of approximately 30 problems per day. Every student should work every problem every day. Correctly-worked homework problems will be scored using the following rubric.

5 points---30 problems
4 points---25-29 problems
3 points---20-24 problems
2 points---10-19 problems
1 point----1-9 problems
0 points---No assignment/No work shown


60%-Assessments 
Cumulative Tests will generally be administered after every 5 lessons and will be worth approximately 20 points. Every test error must be reworked correctly to receive credit. If a student is not satisfied with a test score, another form of the test may be taken after review/reteaching has been completed.  Power-Up Tests (Grades 7 and 8) will be administered on the same day as
cumulative tests and will test facts and problem-solving skills. Each test will be worth 4 points. No retakes.  Various Other Assessments will be administered throughout the year.  Points will be assigned according to participation and direct correlation to our textbook.
