Grading
A standards-based progress report is used for 7th grade math standards.
Score of 1: The student has limited understanding of the standard.
Score of 2: The student has partially met the standard.
Score of 3: The student has met the standard (proficient).
Score of 4: The student has exceeded the standard.
Assignments
Assignments are given to help students practice the skills and concepts they learn in class. Assignments can come in many different forms (worksheets, book exercises, activities and projects). students will have time to work on their assignments in class.
Late/Missing Work
All assignments must be turned in to show progress for standards based grading. Each Monday, a missing assignment update will be distributed to students. If a student has late or missing work, arrangements will be made to complete the work outside of class time.
Extra Credit
In this course no extra credit will be offered. If a students is not understanding the class material they will have the opportunity to practice and retake all assignments and assessments to improve their score. Before a retake can be issued, students must show that they have practiced the concept. Retakes can be done before school, after school or during homebase. I strongly encourage retakes on any summative assessment (A summative assessment means that students are now finished learning on this standard.). However, it is up to the student to decide if he or she would like to retake any assessments or assignments.
Tutoring and Extra Help
I am more than willing to provide extra help to any student that feels like he/she needs extra help or has questions in math. Students can make arrangements to see me during the following times for questions, tutoring, and or help: before school, homebase, period 4 or after school.
Absences
If you are planning to be absent from this class, please let me know at least one day in advance so I can prepare your assignments for you. If you have a cut slip for an absence, your assignments are expected to be done when you return to school. If you have any unplanned absences (illness, etc.) you will have 2 days to make up homework for each day that you were absent.
