This page is the math reflection for your year in math class. It should be filled out before your conference with your parents and should guide you in discussing how math has been this year and is progressing this semester. It should also allow you to develop a plan and goals to finish the year strong.
Please discuss the following topics as a family:
“Throughout this year in math class, we have learned about…”
1. Probability
2. Percents
3. Unit rate
4. Percent proportions
5. Graphing
6. Integers and rational numbers
Something I found that was easy was percentages and percent proportions.
Something I found that was interesting was graphing.
Something that was difficult for me was integers, rational numbers, probability, and unit rate.
What is your current content grade?
2.5
What types of assignments make up my content grade?
Quizzes, tests, and certain review worksheets.
How have you prepared for any quizzes or assessments? Have your strategies been working?
What do you think your work habit grade should be?
4
What does your work habit grade mean, and why should you feel that it is important?
My work habits grade reflects my behavior in math class, like turning in assignments on time, managing my time with work, and my behavior in class.
Do you have any missing assignments?
I have 0 missing assignments.
Do you turn in any assignments late?
The majority of the time, no, but there have been times when I have turned it in a day or two late.
Why do you think we look at this information?
Teachers look at this type of information because my time management with assignments and my behavior in class are important. When teachers grade students on this, it is important for them because it serves as a reminder of how they are doing in class and with assignments, and if there needs to be a change.
How does homework impact your math content grade?
Homework impacts my math content grade because it serves as a study guide and practice for the unit. Mr. Tuke has us grade our homework to see how well we understand the unit. When we get a good score on our homework, then we will most likely get a good grade on our quizzes and tests, and vice versa.
After the discussion about math, discuss the following:
Does your grade represent your work in class and at home?
What do YOU want your grade to be in math by the end of the semester? Why?
How are you going to achieve this goal?
How can Mr. Tuke help you succeed?
If there are any questions, please call Mr. Tuke over when he is free to talk.
Thanks to families for coming!
