    Assignments and Grading Breakdown

    CLASSWORK – 15%

    Students are expected to fully participate in class.  What    happens daily in class helps prepare them for all other    assignments and experiences in class.    All work should be kept in a math notebook.  

      

    HOMEWORK – 15%

    Assigned daily, homework will be expected at the start of the period.  We move quickly in math and practice is essential to move forward.  Students must show all work (on any assignment) to receive full credit.  When absent, you need to check either the Absentee notebook and/or the teacher as well as the Table of Contents and website.                  
     

    QUIZZES – 30%

    Both announced and unannounced quizzes will be given.  Getting in the habit of reviewing nightly will help students be prepared and more confident.
     
    TESTS/PROJECTS         40%
     

    Tests will be announced at least 2 days in advance.  Review will occur in class prior to the test, but students also need to rework problems at home.  Projects will be assigned throughout the year and specific guidelines will be distributed with the assignments.
