Expectations
This classroom is established on RESPECT and
RESPONSIBILITY! This classroom is based upon
respect and will be an environment for all who
enter to feel safe, without ridicule, and be
willing to learn.
YOU
ARE EXPECTED AND ENCOURAGED TO ASK QUESTIONS!!
No question is silly, dumb or stupid (in regards
to math class). All questions are good, for the
simple fact of if you are confused or have
questions, chances are someone else is thinking
the same thing.
Materials
(Needed each day)
1. 1 inch- 3 Ring Binder 2.
Calculator ( Graphing 83 or 84)
(Scientific) 3. Pen/ Pencil
4. Textbook
Procedures
1. Enter the classroom before the bell rings. If
you are not in the class when the bell rings you
are considered late!
2. When the bell rings you are to be sitting at
your desk with the materials needed for the day
out (Notebook, homework, pencil, etc…)
3. Homework is out and on the corner of your
desk ready to be checked. ( You will have
homework every night)
4. Copy and complete the “Do Now”
5. Ask questions!
6. At the end of the period you are to sit at
your desk until the bell rings.
Notebook
Each student must keep a 3 ring binder. This
binder must be kept in date order and will be
graded. The notebook will be graded upon the
following criteria:
1. Sections (1. Homework/ Do Now 2.
Notes 3. Test/ Quizzes)
2. Organization (date order, papers not falling
out)
3. Completeness of notes
Grading
Homework – 5 to 10 points
Participation/ Do Now- 5 to 10 Points
Quizzes/ Tests/ Projects - 15 to 100 points
The grades will be determined by a simple
fraction. At the end of the marking period all
of your possible points and actual points earned
will be calculated. The actual points will be
the numerator and the total possible points will
be the denominator. They will then be divided to
find your grade.
Example:
John has a total of 300 points and there were a
possible 400 points.
Therefore, 300/400= .75, then
.75*100= 75 % which will be John’s grade.
Test Make up
At the end of each marking period you may choose
one quiz from that marking period
to earn back half of the points you lost.
Homework Policy
Work is due when it is assigned. If the student
forgets to do their homework they have an
opportunity to make it up by coming in 10th
period that day for full credit. If for some
reason they can not come in that day they may
speak with me and we will arrange plans. If the
student does not come in they can not make up
the work and the assignment grade remains a
zero. DO NOT expect to make your homework up at
the end of the marking period. You will get
homework every night and if homework is not done
you will not do well in this class.
-
Tests and quizzes are made up of notes,
homework, and class work assignments.
Attendance Policy
If you are absent from class for any reason it
is your (“The student’s “) responsibility to get
the material that is missed. Included in your
responsibilities are: Do Now, notes, class work,
and homework. If you are absent for one day you
have two nights to complete the work. The work
must then be handed in the following day. There
are no excuses the work is due, if it is not
handed in on time it will not be accepted,
therefore, you will earn a zero for that
assignment. I will not ask for the assignment-
you know you were absent and owe work.
