Each Module will be assessed by formative assessments and summative assessments. The formative assessments can be discussions, homework checks, quizzes, etc. They will not be counted towards the final grade. The summative assessments will be one mid-chapter quiz, one chapter test and one performance task. They will be in the grade portal and count towards the final grade.
I am using Google Classroom to send information, daily agendas and worksheets to the students.
Grading
The following grades will be reported in the grade portal:
- Summative quizzes
- Chapter summative assessments
- Summative perfomance tasks
The students will be given work every school day that will automatically appear in the assignment calendar. The day to day homework is to complete the assigned daily work. The daily assigned work is the practice every student should do to prepare/practice for gaining mastery.
Students will be provided with self check-ins on each chapter, pre-quizzes and practice assessments.
My expectations on the students
- Arrive to class prepared
- Give their best effort at all times (it will pay off)
- To check their email daily
- To check the Google Classroom daily
Materials:
-A binder to store handouts/work sheets etc.
- Notebook for taking notes, for math graph paper is preferred.
- A ruler
- Writing utensils and erasers
- Calculator. A scientific calculator is preferred, TI 30X IIS or Casio Fx-300ESPLUS2. For Algebra TI-84 or equivalent is an option but not necessary.
