1. What kind of math will we be learning in this class?
1. What kind of math will we be learning in this class?
We learn the same standards taught in General Education classes. That means you’ll be working on high school Algebra or Geometry, just like any other student working toward graduation. We’ll take things step by step and use tools to support your learning.
2. How is this class different from a regular math class?
2. How is this class different from a regular math class?
All students in this class have IEPs, so the class is designed with that in mind.
That means:
Smaller class size
Extra time and support
Scaffolded notes and visuals
More time to practice
A focus on growth over time
3. What are accommodations, and how are they different from modifications?
3. What are accommodations, and how are they different from modifications?
Accommodations are supports to help you learn and show what you know. For example:
Extra time
Step-by-step notes
Calculator use
Breaking work into smaller parts
Modifications would mean changing what is being taught—but that’s not allowed in credit-earning high school classes. You will still learn the same material and meet the same standards as other students. You CAN do this—we’re just giving you tools to help you succeed.
4. What if I don’t understand something?
4. What if I don’t understand something?
That’s okay! We don’t expect you to get everything right away. You’ll have chances to ask questions, get help, and try again. Making mistakes is part of learning. Just keep showing up and giving your best effort—we’re here to help you grow.
5. Can I use a calculator?
5. Can I use a calculator?
Yes, calculators are a tool we use often! We’ll also teach you how to use graphing calculators like the TI-Nspire so you’re ready for future math classes and testing.
6. Will I get in trouble for turning work in late?
6. Will I get in trouble for turning work in late?
Nope—but the sooner you turn it in, the better. We accept late work up to the end of the grading period. Just keep in touch with us if you fall behind, and we’ll help you catch up.
7. What if I have a bad day or something’s going on at home?
7. What if I have a bad day or something’s going on at home?
We get it—life happens. You can always talk to us or request a break. We want this classroom to feel safe, respectful, and supportive. We care about your well-being just as much as your grades.
8. What are the basic expectations in class?
8. What are the basic expectations in class?
We keep it simple and respectful:
Bring your Chromebook and charger every day. You’ll need it for lessons, assignments, and iXL.
Keep your phone put away during instruction. You can listen to music quietly during independent work time, but not during lessons.
Take care of classroom supplies. Markers, calculators, and other tools are here to help everyone—please use them responsibly.
No nuts or spraying perfume. Some classmates have allergies or asthma, and strong scents or foods can cause serious problems.
Be on time, be prepared, and be kind. We’re all here to learn and grow together, and that starts with respect for each other.
