LBHS Jr. High Math

Communication: All Junior High math classes will use Google Classroom for announcements and assignments. All students are connected to Google Classroom, and all parents have been invited to their child's Google classroom pages as a guardian. Parents cannot "login" to Google Classroom or see specific daily lessons on Google Classroom, but will get weekly guardian summaries that give you a snapshot of each of your child's classes.

Daily assignments are posted on Google Classroom and worked on during class. If a student misses a day of class, this is where they should look first! Assignments are due at the end of class the day they are assigned, unless otherwise noted. If a student is absent, they are due the next class period.

Homework: In general, there will not be daily math homework. Exceptions to this:

• If a student does not make significant progress on an assignment in class, the assignment may be assigned as homework.

• Occasional project work may require some time outside of class

• Reviewing/studying for quizzes and tests may require some time outside of class

Standards: Math instruction is guided by the Common Core math standards, a set of nationwide guidelines which define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics at each grade level. Mathematical understanding and procedural skill are equally important, and students will consistently be challenged to apply what they know to solve real-world problems.
