Classroom Rules
1. Respect everyone and everything in this classroom.
2. Follow directions the first time given.
3. Be prepared with all needed materials.
4. Raise your hand and be recognized before you speak.
5. Obey all school rules.Absences and Tardies
If you have an excused absence, you are responsible for making up the work you miss. Check the board for the assignments. You have one more day than the number of days you were absent to make up any assignments. You will have to make arrangements to make up any missed quizzes or tests within a week's time.
Failure to make up work will result in a zero for the work.
For unexcused absences, the RHS attendance policy will be enforced.
If you walk in the door after the bell has started ringing, you are tardy. LOCKOUT will be enforced.Grading Procedures
Grades are distributed as follows:
A 90 - 100%
B 80 - 89%
C 70 - 79%
D 60 - 69%
F 00 - 59%40% - Exams
35% - Quizzes / POWs
25% - Assignments**Do not ask me about your grade during class time**
Scores will be recorded into my grade book and most papers will then be returned to you.
Computer updates of your grades will be posted at the beginning of every week.You are graded in the following areas:
Homework: Homework is an integral part of each math lesson. It must be done on a daily basis if maximum learning is to take place. Homework is a learning experience that reinforces the concepts presented in class.
- Expect homework to be assigned EVERYDAY. Classwork may also be assigned as well. The assignments will either be problems from the book, or on worksheets, and can earn a grade of 5 points. We will review the assignments at the start of class.
- All assignments are due when collected. If the assignment is not turned in at that time it will be considered late.
- All work must be done in pencil. Work done in pen will result in a lower grade.
- Correct heading is required on every assignment: Name, Period, & Date in the Upper Right Corner; assignment name on the the top line.
- Show Work for all problems; copy the problem and circle the final answer.
- Please write legibly.
- Homework Rubric:
All (or almost all) problems assigned are attempted with work shown. Most problems assigned are attempted with work shown. At least half of the problems assigned are attempted. (Anything less than half will be returned to be redone and will be graded as late when turned in again.)
OR
Late work with all (or almost all) problems attempted.Late work with most problems attempted. Late work with at least half of the problems attempted. Any work less than half done, or not turned in. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a lowered grade.
You have only 2 weeks to turn in any late work.Quizzes: Quizzes will be given at least once a week and may be unannounced. They will cover any previous material from class and you should prepare yourself such that there may be a quiz everyday.
Exams: You will be given an exam for every chapter we cover and a cumulative exam at the end of each quarter. We will cover approximately 2-3 chapters a quarter.
POWs: "Problem of the Week" assignments involve concepts that we have learned in class and apply them to a word problem of sorts. This problem requires students to not only solve it, but to clearly write out their explanations and analysis. Writing has become an important aspect in math education, and as such, the POWs will carry the same weight as 10 homework assignments. There will be about 1-2 POWs per quarter.
Extra Credit: Opportunities will be given regularly throughout this course. The main source of extra credit is through insurance, where you pay for credit with your own time. 15 minutes = 1 stamp. 3 stamps = 1 point. See pamphlet for details. All extra credit must be turned in no later than 1 week prior to the end of the quarter. Extra credit can add a maximum of 2% to your grade.Materials needed for classes (items may be added throughout the year):
Paper Pencils (at least 2) Notebook Graph Paper Straight edge Colored Pen Calculator** **A graphing calculator (ex.TI-83) is recommended, especially if you are planning on continuing on to Trigonometry and Calculus.This course should provide you with many challenges and chances to grow. I have confidence that you will all do well and succeed this school year. Just work hard and do you best and the rewards will follow!
