• Bring the following to class every day:

1.     Pencil – All work must be done in pencil. We all make mistakes and mistakes are easily corrected with pencil. Work not completed in pencil will lose 10 points.

2.     Colored pen for checking work

3.     Highlighter 

4.     Interactive Notebook (spiral notebook). This will contain all math notes.

5.     Chromebook (or other device) 

• Be an active participant in class. Just being here is not enough. You must be engaged in what we are doing on a daily basis.

• Be ready and willing to work in groups or pairs as assigned.

• If you miss a day of school, check the “Missing Work Box” for any handouts that were given out during your absence. If you missed a test or quiz, it is up to you to arrange a time with Mrs. Wright to make up that assignment.

• Assignments will be posted daily on Google Classroom and all tests and quizzes will be posted on the deadlines calendar. Please check this regularly. 

Always let Mrs. Wright know immediately if you do not understand something. I am here to help you! The more you communicate, the better I am able to help you! :)

Homework is a vital part of excelling in math because it is a form of 

independent practice. Just like anything else, in order to get better 

you need to practice. 

• Homework will be given 4 or 5 times per week and should take an average of 20 minutes.

• Assignments should be written down each day in the student planner

• Homework is graded on completion and effort, not accuracy.

• Late homework will be accepted for full credit if you communicate with me ahead of time. Please email me or talk to me as soon as you know that you will not be able to get your homework completed. Unexcused homework will lose 10 points per day late. If you know that you will be unable to get something completed on time, send me an email prior to class. I will often not mark an assignment late if you have reached out ahead of time.

• Try every problem assigned. Even if you are not exactly sure how to solve the problem, just write down what you know.  It is very important to attempt all problems so that you can ask questions in class.

• Tests: 40%

• Quizzes: 30%

• Practice Assignments (Classwork & Homework): 30%

Students may correct all tests and quizzes. Partial credit will be given for problems reworked correctly.
