What scores will my assignments receive? See below for a tutorial on viewing work in Google Classroom.
Assigned (the due date has not passed and the student should be working to complete it)
Turned In (if there is no private comment then it means the teacher has not yet completed grading and there is nothing for the student to do on their end)
Check mark or 1/1 score given (credit given); 0/1 (no credit given)
Missing (the due date has passed and the teacher has not yet entered a score).
**Students have 5 school days after the original due date to turn in a completed and corrected assignment in the classroom in-bin to still earn credit.**
Google Classroom Must Knows will be shared with students in the Useful Resources of their Google Classroom

Students are expected to bring a 3-ring binder to class every day. The binder should be divided into four sections: Daily Problems, Notes, Work, and Assessments.
At the end of each unit, students will complete a Binder Check assignment by organizing their Daily Problems, Notes, and Work according to a checklist. These materials will then be stapled as a packet and stored in a classroom hanging file, which becomes the student’s Portfolio.
The portfolio is always available for students to use as a reference during the year. At the end of the school year, it will be sent home as a complete collection of work—a valuable resource for review and a record of growth throughout 7th grade math.
Each Daily Problem Sheet is handed out on Monday and also posted on Google Classroom.
At the start of class, students have time to:
Work on the daily problem independently or with a partner
Have their solution checked by the teacher or receive support if needed
Review the solution together as a class when clarification is helpful
Students are expected to have all problems completed correctly before turning in the sheet on Friday. Sheets are graded and returned the following Monday with comments and a score (see rubric below).
Daily Problem Sheets are an important tool for learning. They provide practice, meaningful feedback, and serve as a great resource for review and test preparation throughout the year.
Daily Problem Rubric
Homework will be assigned as needed and posted on both the classroom board and Google Classroom. Students are responsible for recording their assignments and checking Google Classroom regularly.
The expectations for homework are:
Every problem is attempted. Students will have time the next class to ask questions about problems they found difficult.
Show all work. If there isn’t enough room on the handout, use a separate sheet of paper.
Stay organized. Homework should be kept in the Work section of the Math Binder. Scores can be viewed in Google Classroom under “Classwork → View My Work.”
Turn homework in on time. Unless told otherwise, homework is due the next class block. The teacher will check it for completion at the start of class and let students know if it did not receive full credit.
Correct and reflect. Students are expected to correct their own homework using a colored pen. Reflections should note the type of mistake:
Careless: simple errors like copying a number wrong or not following directions
Precision: computation errors, messy work, missing units, or incorrect notation
Problem Solving: incomplete steps or missing explanations of thinking
Incomplete work. If homework is marked incomplete (zero), it is the student’s responsibility to finish it, grade and correct it using the answer key in class or on Google Classroom, and turn it in before the 5-day late policy deadline to receive full credit.
Reassessments. Every student has at least one opportunity to reassess if they have followed the required process. Students may reassess more than once only if all work for the unit is up-to-date.
Homework is an important part of building strong math skills. It provides practice, helps students identify where they need support, and ensures they are prepared for class and assessments.
Check-ins: These are the first time a skill is assessed and are unannounced. They will occur within a few days of the topic being presented in class. They are generally short, single topic assessments usually taking no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
Tests: These are the second time a skill is assessed and ARE announced. They will occur towards the end of a unit. They are generally longer assessments that cover multiple skills and students are given a class block to complete.
Reassessments: These are the third time a skill is assessed and are given on an assigned date in class. They are typically given a few weeks after the unit test as a way to ensure students have time to work through the plan process. Reassessments will cover all skills in the unit that the student has not yet shown proficiency in.
