Materials Needed Daily
 Math 3- ring binder
 Pencils/Pen (blue, black, and red ink)
 Textbooks (Math-Blue book reference)
 Loose-leaf notebook paper
 Student agenda
The following supplies should be
available for home use:
 Calculator
 Protractor
 Ruler
 Colored pencils or crayons
 Computer ( w/ internet if available)
Homework Practices
(Math)
 Homework will be assigned on a daily basis. It will
be checked for completion in class. I believe
homework is assigned for reinforcement of what
was taught in class. Therefore, it is important for
students to complete their homework to improve
their math skills.
 Homework is due the very next class period.
 Homework and other assignments will be written
on the board and should be copied by the students
everyday in his/her school provided agenda. It is
the student’s responsibility to make sure that
his/her homework is copied down into the agenda.
Procedure for an Absence
(Math)
 Students that are absent will be given as many days
they were absent to complete any make-up work. If an
assignment was due the day of their absence it is due
the day they return. All make-up summative
assessments will need to be made up as soon as
possible, preferable the day they return.
Classroom Expectations
(Math)
 I believe in having high expectations for students to
follow and I feel that each student should abide by the
expectations. The essential reason we all here is for
each child to learn. In order for this to occur, the
students need to have a comfortable, orderly learning
environment.
Formatives (Homework/Assessments)

Formative Assessments- Homework is given every class!

You must write your assignments in your agenda daily!


Math homework is due the next class…please do not wait until resource
class to start it!

Homework is worth 2 points if it is completed and on time, 1 point if it is incomplete or a day
late, 0 points after that. These are formative assessments and are not counted a quarterly
grade, but are an indication of how well they are progressing towards mastery of these new
concepts.


Formative Assessments- Check (for understanding)

Classwork checks/Intro/exit tickets are use to assess understanding of the concepts taught.

This will be on a scale progression of: (4-exceeds)-(3-meets)-(2-Progressing)-(1-Below) and is
NOT a direct contribution to a student’s grade.
Summative Assessments- (Quizzes/Test)
 Try to do your best the first time! (study, study,
study)
 If a student earns a 60% or below, they must take a
re-take.
 ***Re-takes are only given when corrections are
made on the quiz/test, when all homework is
completed and when the student participates in
some re-teaching time prior to retaking the
assessment. The re-take will not be exactly the
same as the original assessment.
