Math 2 Class Expectations - Ms. Crossley
I hope that I can challenge you mathematically and help you grow in your Mathematical understanding and
communication.
Materials Needed Every DAY
 Textbook
 Homework
 Mechanical or #2 pencil
 Classwork
(only) required
 Paper
 Investigation Notes
 *Toolkit*
 Calculator: The TI -84 Silver/Plus or TI – 83 plus graphing calculator, TI-NSpire
*Toolkits will be created in class that you will
want to have for reference notes on
assessments*
Your Responsibilities
Be respectful towards yourself, others and
equipment. Treat others with respect. Have a
good attitude and take pride in your work. Be
sure to show your RED. **Work as a team**
Food and Drink
Only water in a clear plastic container and no
food is allowed in class.
Electronic Devices (Cell phones, I-Pods/Mp3
players…)
Do not use them in class. Do not let me see or
hear them either. If seen, it will be confiscated.
Calculators
Integrated Math requires a graphing
calculator. If you choose to play games
during class on your calculator, I reserve the
right to clear the memory of your calculator
and/or take your calculator during class. If you need to rent a calculator please see me.
Attendance, Tardies and Make-Up Work (Accountability, Reliability, Responsibility)
 You are expected to be in class and prepared to learn every day. If you miss class it is your responsibility
to obtain the class notes and assignments missed that day; check your folder.
 If you miss a test/quiz you have 2 days (excused) or 1 day (unexcused) to make the assessment up. You
must set up an appointment with me.
 If you are not absent and missing work, you may turn it before the end of the unit with a 10% penalty.
 You must be on time! A pass is required in order to be excused.
 Tardy Policy: See your student handbook!! * If you are late, expect to lose homework/math mate
credit for that day, along with time for time.*
Hall Passes
1. You must have your id in order to leave the classroom. The hall pass must be taken whenever you
leave the classroom
2. Please ask for permission to leave the classroom
3. Please do not make it a habit, or there will be limitations placed on an individual basis
4. No hall passes will be given in the first and last 10 min of the class
5. If you are late to class, you forfeit your hall pass privileges
Homework
You should expect homework every night; Check Your Understandings (CYU’s), On Your Own’s
(OYO’s), and Review and Practice (R.A.P.S). I will provide feedback on homework, which may be
revised. All revisions must be done in a different color and boxed on the same assignment to receive credit.
**Any papers without a name will be thrown away**
Assessments
 Lesson Quizzes will be given a few times each unit, after the end of the lesson. Toolkits may be used.
 Tests and Benchmark assessment will be given at the end of each unit, which is comprehensive of the
unit.
Assessment Corrections/Retakes
 Quizzes should be corrected or retaken to aid in understanding of the material. You may receive half the
points back on corrections, or a full replacement on retakes.
 Unit Assessments: Corrections/retakes are only given if you did not pass (Score < 70%) and can only be
corrected to a maximum of 70%.
o This excludes the last assessment of the quarters.
o You must correct your original and then take the other form of the problems missed to receive
credit for your corrections.
 To take advantage of the corrections, you must have all assignments in the other category for that unit.
Corrections only last for a maximum of 1 week.
*Any copying or cheating will result in a zero for all parties involved.*
Grading
**In order to receive points on any homework, investigation notes, classwork assignment, quiz, assessment
or semester exam you MUST show ALL of the required work. No work, no credit!**
Semester Grade:
Assessments – 85% Other (class work, investigation notes, homework, worksheets, etc) - 15%
Grades are based on the 10% scale in the student handbook. Check Parent Bridge as it is updated
frequently. You must have a 70% or better at the end of Math 2B to move on to the next class. *I reserve
the right to change any grading procedures that I feel are necessary.*
Being Successful in Math 2:
 Students are expected to attend class, participate, and bring all class materials to each class meeting.
 Completing homework or assignments on time.
 Students are encouraged to seek help from classmates and the instructor.
