Assessment Information

SMP Problems are assigned weekly and graded for accuracy based on the published rubric. They are problems based on content that has already been taught and tested. They focus on applying the standards for mathematical practice to content the students is already familar with. Due to their purpose of content review and problem solving practice, collectively SMP problems over the duration of the grading period are a significant portion of your grade. Corrections for both points and content recovery can be completed.

SMP Corrections

• In order to complete corrections, the orginal SMP must have been turned in on time.

• Are due the following Friday (one week later)

2) Assessment Retake
