Welcome. I hope this website proves useful to you and helps us have a wonderful year together.
This year we will be studying:
Arithmetic Operations Including Dividing by a Fraction
Ratios & Unit Rates
Percents
Rational Numbers
Expressions
Equations
Geometry (Area, Surface Area & Volume Problems)
Statistics
For the beginning of the year students need to have pencils, erasers, their Chromebook and (notebook/binder optiional.)
Students should come to class each day with:
Folder
Sharpened Pencils and erasers
Agenda book
Homework
Envisions work a text
Chromebook
Earbuds
Notebook/Binder (optional)
Homework will be assigned regularly Monday through Thursday. Homework will occasionally be assigned on Fridays as well.
Homework will usually be assigned from the Envisions work-a-text. Students will always be given time to copy their homework in class but I will also try to have the homework on the classroom calendar that can be found on the white team website and this website.
Late homework will usually not be accepted as we go over the homework in class, so it is imperative that students complete their assignments on the day it is assigned.
All grades can be accessed through the parent portal. Grades will not be posted until all classes are able to have the assignment returned to them. Please wait for the assignment to be returned before asking about a grade seen on the portal.
The final quarter grade is comprised of
80% tests, quizzes, projects and graded classwork
20% homework
If you receive a weekly Google Classroom report please remember that a vast majority of our math work is not found in classroom but in using our work-a-text.
Our first quiz will cover lessons 2-1 through lesson 2-3. The date of this quiz is tbd.
Extra help is given most days at the beginning of sixth period. I am available most days but if a student asks me beforehand we can make sure that extra help is available.
