Students will be Active Learners by:
•Asking Questions
•Monitoring there own progress
•Making a plan for learning
•Applying math to real life
•Being able to justify their answers and
communicate mathematical ideas
•Using resources such as textbooks, media, teacher
produced worksheets and manipulatives
Students will be Active Learners by:
•By working as:
•Individuals
•Pairs/Partners
•Groups
•Large Groups (class)
One-inch
3 Ring Binder
( JUST FOR MATH )
Also, 5 dividers so students can stay organized
Pencil (mechanical preferred) and
Pen (grading only) for every class day
I supply lead for all students. (0.5, 0.7, 0.9)
Comp Book (I purchased) for students must be in
class everyday
Learning Logs are in the back of the room and are to
be kept in class… in fear they will never come back

A list of all of the learning targets for the
unit.
◦ I can” statements

Students record scores from Quick Checks
and Exit Slips on their Learning Target Logs
◦ Quick Checks and Exit Slips are like “Quizzes”

Students will then make an “Action Plan” that
will increase knowledge to mastery.

Action Plans are made up of many things it is
up to the student to decide what will help the
student get to mastery of the content.
◦ Action Plans can include:





Teacher made worksheets
Internet website/App help
Tutoring
Annotated Notes (Flash cards, bubble maps, etc)
Other…
 Whatever the student thinks will help them achieve
mastery


This helps students, teacher, and parents to
know which of the learning targets a student
has mastered and which ones he/she needs
to practice.
Students should write down their plan in their
time tracker to insure parents are aware of
the action plan.
Students’ grade will be based
on scores received on unit
assessments.
Homework will count towards
Work Habits grade.

Quick Checks and exit slips will be graded as
follows (usually the student grades their own
quick check):
Level Description
4
Student demonstrates a solid understanding of the
concept, no mistakes have been made
3
Student demonstrates a good understanding of the
concept, but is making minor mistakes
2
Student demonstrates a basic understanding of the
concept and needs more practice and/or additional
instruction from a knowledgeable other
1
Student demonstrates a limited understanding of
the concept and needs more practice and intensive
instruction from the teacher
Homework assignments will
be posted daily on the
CCMS homework website.

Thursdays 2:20 – 3:00
Unless there are
meetings or
emergencies.
Check in with your student about Action Plans
encourage them to review material that they do
not have a strong understanding in. Look at
Quick Checks to see what needs to be completed.
Check math notebook; ask what your child is
learning
Encourage your child to have a positive attitude
about math
Help your child to see how math is used in
everyday life
Communicate if there is problem



Students should only be working on homework
that has already been taught in class. However,
they still sometimes get stuck. Help them to be
responsible for their own learning. Feel free to
help and guide!
