Welcome to Math Class. This can be educational and fun if you let it be. I will do my best to treat you fairly and professionally and expect the same from you. If you ever have a problem with anything I ask of you, please talk with me individually.

Each day you are expected to be in your seat before the bell rings and working on something quietly: Warmup or Silent Reading. Classes are about 2 hours long every other day except for Zero Period which is approximately 1 hour. We will cover roughly one chapter every 2-3 weeks. I will do my best to give you as much class time as possible to work each day. Always bring extra material or a reading book to work on after the assignment.

Attendance – A lot of the work we do will be done IN class. Therefore, a good attendance record is very important to do well in class. If you are ever absent from a class, be sure to get it cleared with the front office before returning to class the following meeting. By the time you return to class, you should have copied the notes from a classmate or the website and attempted the assignment you missed.

Required Materials each day: Pencil (mechanical is preferred), Colored Pen, Dry Erase Marker, 3-Ring Notebook, Loose Leaf Paper – Regular lined and graph paper , Calculator (Graphing or Scientific (SIN-COS-TAN)), straight edge, reading book, spiral notebook (Algebra 1 only), mini-stapler, something extra to work on when you are done with your assignment. Note: SPIRAL NOTEBOOK paper will not be accepted if turned in (even if you tear off the li’l frilly things

Grading:

Assignments: Each day you will have an assignment to help you learn the chapter. If you work well in class, you should be able to finish most if not all of it in class.

Assessments: The assessments will cover the entire chapter. Know the theorems, the formulas, and the Algebra to solve the problems.

Final Assessment: There will be a final at the end of each semester. They will be comprehensive. To earn the grade you wish, you must demonstrate that you still know the material.

Misc: This category involves things such as class participation, notebook checks, material checks, etc.

The Grading Scale is as follows:
