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!

 

I EXPECT STUDENTS TO:

            Come to class on time

            Have appropriate behavoir at all times.

            Respect each person’s right to learn

            Participate in class activities

            Bring all materials with you every day

 

 

 

MATERIAL

            Composition Notebook for daily notes.

            Notebook with dividers

            Scientific Calculators

            Color pencils

            Rulers

A = 90 - 100% B = 80 - 89% C = 70 - 79% D = 60 - 69%

F = 0 - 59%

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.
