Class Procedures

In this class, we have only one rule...

RESPECT

Respect your peers.          Respect your teachers.           Respect materials & property.          Respect yourself.

• Grades at RMS run on a point-based system, so each student's grade is determined by dividing the points earned by the points available. 

• I grade all assignments with partial credit! I want my students to receive as many points as they've shown they deserve. 

• Unfortunately, mathematics teachers are not permitted to give extra credit. 

• Assignment point values depend on the length of a unit, but usually fall in the following range:

  • • • Tests ~50-100 pts

      • Quizzes ~25-45pts

      • HW - 2pts   (1pt if handed in late or if incomplete)

      • iReady - 2pt per week (must work for 15 minutes each day we work in class)

• HW is posted in Genesis & Google Classroom the day it is assigned, and is due the next time our class meets. 

• Quizzes are announced about 3 days in advance.

• Tests are announces about a week in advance (depending on the length of the unit).

• iReady is worked on for 30-45 minutes a week in class and students are expected to meet a minimum of 30 minutes in the program. This allows for students to work with the teacher in small groups, ask questions, etc.
