Math Requirements

Welcome to Central Middle School of Science

To be sucessful in my class, you must come to class, ask questions when you have them, do your homework, study for your quizzes/tests, and have a positive attitude. Come to class ready to participate! I am here to help you conquer the problems and learn. Daily work will be assigned. Use your class time wisely!

Homework

It takes practice to learn mathematics. Daily work will be assigned. Consistently doing you homework will prepare you for the quizzes and tests. Attempt every problem and show all of your work to receive full credit. Always use pencil for assignments. I expect homework to be done by the following day. I normally do not accept late work. It does not benefit you or me if homework is done after we have covered the material.

Late Policy

You are given four late coupons which may be used during the first and second semester after which I will accept late homework.

Warm-ups

Every Friday warm-ups will be collected for the week.

Mountain Math

Problem of the week will be given out every Friday and is due the following Thursday by the 4th period for full credit. The problem of the week needs to be written legibly ink. After that I will accept it one week late for 50%.

NOTEBOOK

You will need a Composition Book for Notes. You will need to have your binder organized with dividers. The Composition book and notebook will be graded periodically as a quiz grade. Your binder must contain the following:

Sections:

1. Class Handouts (like this paper!)

2. Daily Warm-up

3. Current assignments (keep the current chaper and the

previous chapter)

4. Problem of the Week (POW)

5. All quizzes and tests

MAKE_UP WORK

If you are out of the class for any reason, it is your responsiblity to:

Check with me for the work you missed

Turn in make-up work.

Schedule make-up quizzes and tests with me

If you have any problems or questions see me near

the end (not the beginning) of class.

You have one day per day you were absent to turn in work.

This includes tests and quizzes!

TARDY PROCEDURE

You must be in your seat when the bell rings, otherwise you are tardy.

Tardy students will make up one minute during the passing period.

See school handbook for other consequences.

If you are late, excused for unexcused, be courteous and quiet.
