Classroom routine Prompt to copy homework Complete warm-up During warm-up, homework is checked for
completion We go over the warm-up Address any homework questions Introduce/practice/apply new concepts
Homework Homework may be assigned daily Practice/reinforcement of that day’s concept or
preview an upcoming concept Yes, students should check answers when
available After the first quarter, during which students will
get half credit, LATE homework will be marked complete but receive a zero
students may redo HW for more points if they do not show work, write in pencil, etc…
Materials Pencil, only, for all math work Notebook should go back and forth daily
and homework should be in the notebook Agenda book Things for home:
Scientific calculator Ruler, protractor, compass, graph paper
Calculator use If calculators were used in class, they are
allowed on homework Students would benefit most from a
scientific calculator at home… Squares & square roots, parentheses Fractions
Personal calculators DO NOT need to be brought to class
Assessment No quarterly assessments this year. Quizzes periodically and unit tests at the
end of each unit. MSA in March – covers grade level
curriculum Skills checks: 2-5 points, 2 or 3 questions to
assess mastery of daily content
Absence/Make-up/Missing Work
Check my website Student should see me upon return, check
class folder on bulletin board Students have the same number of days as
they were out to make up missed work for full credit
I will plan a make-up day every couple of weeks to allow students to “catch-up” due to absences and pull outs and complete activities they might have missed
