Ms. Cronin's MATH PROCEDURES

Entering the Classroom: Please be in the classroom and ready to begin when the bell rings. We have a tremendous amount of Math to learn and need every minute to do it. :)

Homework: Math homework will be assigned 4-5 days a week. All homework must be done in pencil. Show ALL work, so I can see where you went wrong. If there is no work, the assignment will be considered "missing" until it is complete. Then they will receive 5/10 points. If it's not completed, they will receive 0/10 points. HW is a COMPLETION grade - all they have to do is try/show work.

Homework will be graded during class with a COLORED PEN only. Students (and parents) can verify homework assignments daily by clicking the 7th or 7th Honors Pre-Algebra math link above in the upper left-hand corner.

Absences: A new math lesson is taught each day, so attendance is crucial at the Middle School level. If a student misses school, it is their responsibility to make up the work. Assignments can be found on the Weekly Agenda I send students each Sunday night. I also have the assignment names on my Google Calendar (on this website by clicking the link above in the upper left-hand corner for 7th Grade HW Assignments).

Grades: Grades are weighted in math.

75% of the student's grade will come from tests and quizzes and

25% will come from homework and class work.

**In HS this goes to 80/20 so we are preparing them for the future. This is why we give ALL points on completed/attempted HW completed on time. HW is PRACTICE.

Grades can be accessed online at Infinite Campus. Please use the Authentication Portal to go to most PV sites.
