Open-Up Resources (https://openupresources.org/math-curriculum/6-8-math/ )
♦ Assessment: We use Standards-Based Grading (SBG)
Raw scores will usually be posted on Power School, Key Assignments and Summative assessments.
Standards-based scores will usually be posted on Power School for end-of unit scores.
♦ Tests/Quizzes: A variety of assessments will be utilized to ascertain comprehension of the various math standards and units. If a student is absent on the day of an exam, the student is responsible for arranging to take the exam in Noon Study on Tuesday or Thursdays from 7:45am till 8:15 am in A 1, as soon as possible.
Exam re-takes of end-of-unit assessments are usually allowed up to about 10 days after the initial exam but a request for a re-take will require a student to come to the Tuesday or Thursday morning tutorial.
♦ Binders: Students are required to have a one-inch, 3-ring, binder designated for math.
The binder will contain:
Assignment page (fully completed with # of assignment, date, and description of the assignment)
Assignments (in order by date with corrections noted in a differently colored writing tool)
Notes/Practice (sections done in class are completely filled out)
Exams/Key Assignments
♦ Assignments: Homework will usually be assigned at least four days each week, and is generally due at the beginning of the next class meeting. In-class assignments and projects may also be given. All work will be assessed on completeness and showing work and will be part of the non-academic performance indicators.
Student Conduct:
Come prepared with an organized binder, binder paper, pencils, and a scientific calculator every day. Pens, colored pencils, or geometric tools may be helpful at times.
Work diligently on math homework during the time provided in class.
Be attentive at all times while in class.
Be an active, contributing member of the class.
Sharpen pencils before class and toss out trash at the end of the period.
Work on schoolwork during the homework time given.
Absences: It is each student’s responsibility to make arrangements upon returning from an absence to get a list of make-up work. Exams can generally be made up at Noon Study.
Extra Help: If a student is having difficulty with the work, or if s/he feels the need for some extra review, I am most easily available before school or during lunch. Students are also welcome to log on to http://www.khanacademy.org or other sites listed on my website if that is helpful. Parents and students may call me at any time with questions or concerns but a daytime and evening phone number should be left; I will return calls as soon as possible. I can also be reached via e-mail and that is the most reliable way to reach me.
Optional review sessions: generally offered from 7:45 – 8:15am on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, in A 1.
