  2. Mrs. Dvornicky’sPeriod 1 Pre-Algebra Class Five Key Points for parents of 8th Grade Pre-Algebra Students:

  3. http://teacherweb.com/md/fqms/mrsdvornicky 5. My TeacherWebsite is a valuable resource for students to find: • Tools for test and quiz preparation • Tutorials and additional practice opportunities on current topics of study • Graphing calculator tutorials • Due dates of upcoming assignments

  4. “Never Give Up” • 4. I encourage students each day to be persistent problem solvers and active learners. • First Quarter is a thorough review of numeric operations and algebraic expressions and equations. • Calculators are generally not permitted during first quarter so that we can strengthen skills and identify any areas of need on which to improve. • Help outside of class is available whenever a student asks: during Lunch, Before School or After School

  5. Do That Homework ! • 3. Homework is assigned daily as a way to practice and extend concepts learned in class. • It should be completed independently, in a quiet place at home. • Students should keep their textbooks at home. • Most assignments should take about 15 minutes to complete. Some assignments, such as a test or quiz study guide, will take30 minutes to onehour.

  6. High School Recommendations • 2. High school recommendations from teachers will be completed in early January. • Students who are demonstrating success with concepts and are able to work with independence will take Algebra I / Data Analysis in 9th grade. • Students who consistently demonstrate difficulty with the material, earning C’s and D’s on tests and quizzes, will be recommended to take the Algebra I / Data Analysis Seminary class in 9th grade, in addition to the regular Algebra class.

  7. Success in Pre-Algebra helps students build a strong foundation ! • 1. The purpose of this Pre-Algebra class is: • To prepare students for success in higher level math by building a strong foundation of skills.
