ACTIVITIES FOR THE QUARTER

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Students are not required to work with a mobile phone, a tablet, or a computer in class. It is only at the teacher's discretion to allow students the use of their phones (example: when the school is conducting a survey).

In-Class Practice (Classwork): Students will complete in-class assignments given by the teacher on paper, with an approved calculator, and will work in class (unless instructed otherwise). Assignments will be submitted at the end of the class period. This grade is worth 25% of the student's final quarterly grade.

Homework Practice (Big Ideas textbook): Students are recommended to write all Big Ideas Math Online homework in their notebooks, and the answers may later be done online and will be assigned through Schoology only. This grade is worth 20% of the student's final quarterly grade.

VERY IMPORTANT: Students must meet all assignment deadlines.

THREE INCOMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS in the same quarter may result in a REFERRAL and/or PARENT CONFERENCE.

IXL should be practiced everyday as followup of every lesson (MONDAY through FRIDAY). Students must try to reach 100% on the Smart Score. Students must also WRITE all problems in their notebooks or binders (Strongly recommended to have notes when doing Classwork assignments). IXL assignments are done every school day. Students will earn 20% for the completion of every assignment (One, two, or three skills per day). It takes between 5 minutes to 15 minutes to complete a skill and reach up to 100% correct answers. Please, try not to miss any IXL SKILLS PRACTICE homework assignments.

LOGIN TO IXL: Students must go through the STUDENT PORTAL, go to Schoology, select the math class, and click the IXL link on the left margin. If the previously mentioned does not work because the Student Portal Server is down, students may try to access this app on this website on the homepage.

Homework grade: will be the average of Big Ideas Math online assignments and IXL, and will be worth 20% of their quarterly grade.
Short quizzes will be worth 20% of the quarterly grade. This may involve solving problems (showing work), knowing math terms (vocabulary), and understanding concepts.
MAJOR TESTS are worth 45% of students' quarterly grades: There will be Chapter tests, District Topic Tests, and Mid-Year Tests.

IXL LOGIN (DAILY PRACTICE)

Students must go through the STUDENT PORTAL, go to Schoology, select the math class, and click the IXL link on the left margin. If the previously mentioned does not work because the Student Portal Server is down, students may try to access this app on this website on the homepage.

Username: Student's ID Number@miamidadecenter

Password: Student's birthday and initials in the following format: mmddyyii

mm=month (two characters), dd=day (two characters), yy= year (two characters), ii=student's initials (two characters). A total of 8 characters.

Survey (1st Block)
