HOMEWORK:
Math homework (in the GoMath! text) will be assigned every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon. The following day, it will be reviewed in class and graded only for completion.
A homework grade will be given each trimester starting at 100 points. 1 point will be deducted from this 100 each time a student fails to complete his/her homework.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE:
On Mondays we will review the previous week's material and take a "Mindful Monday" mini-quiz on Google Classroom. We will also take an opportunity to check in and see who might be in need of some extra help throughout the week, which Mrs. Vance will allow for as she plans.
On Tuesdays-Thursdays we will utilize our GoMath! textbooks. During class time, we will work both as a whole class and in rotating small groups. Nightly homework will be assigned, then reviewed the following day.
On Fridays, we will use worksheets, puzzles, flashcards, hands-on activities, and our Chromebooks to review our fundamental Math skills and put our new knowledge to use.
ASSESSMENTS:
Math tests and quizzes are opportunities to "show what you know"--
not a cause for undue stress. Students and parents will be given at least a week's notice before chapter tests. Practice tests will be given and reviewed in class beforehand. Assessments will be given on Mondays and Fridays (with the occasional exception for a holiday).
