Grade Break Down

A breakdown of how students earn their math grade:

             * "Do-Now"- Students need to be on time, in their seat with their materials copying

and solving the Aim and Do-Now in their binder. Students can earn one

point, ½ a point or no points each day of class. 

(5% of total grade.)

             * Homework- Students turn in homework when it is due and have made an

attempt to answer all of the problems.  Students can earn one point per

assignment, ½ a point if it is late, or no points if it is not received. 

(10% of total grade.)   

             * Classwork/Participation - Students work will be randomly selected to be graded. 

If you are taking notes and paying attention you will have no problems with this work. Students should be attentive, follow rules, follow along with class, and respect themselves and each other.

(15% of total grade.)

             * Quizzes- Usually one a week on the material from the previous week.  This gives students many

                        opportunities to improve their grades.  Quizzes are kept in the students files, and can be viewed by

                        student or guardian upon request.   

(15% of grade.)

             * Tests- Usually one or two each marking period.

                        (20% of grade.)

             * Projects- The students will work on in-class and at-home projects throughout the semester.  These are an

                        opportunity for students to work with a group, improve their skills, and boost their grades.  

(20% of grade.)

  ABSENCES- Students are responsible for classwork and homework missed while they were out.
