  3. Courses • AcademicPre-Algebra • Honors Algebra I • Students need to study math… the key word is DO! Philosophy

  4. Google Classroom • All of my daily lessons (notes), homework, link to worksheets, and test and quiz dates are on my Google Classroom. Ask your child for their classroom code if you would like to see what is going on in their classroom! https://classroom.google.com/u/0/c/MjA4ODY1MDY4MTNa

  5. My Google Classroom • Students need to sign in with their class code: • Period 1 j8unffk • Period 2 c1se6y • Period 3 vrc4jt • Period 4 f8u113f • Period 5 9sdbjs

  6. Pre-Algebra • Equations and Expressions • Expressions • Functions • Geometry • Statistics/Probability • Please cover in clear contact paper

  7. Honors Algebra I • Expressions • Equations • Polynomials • Factoring • Algebraic fractions • Negative exponents • Functions • Linear equations • Quadratic equations • Radicals • Keystone Exams

  8. Homework • Stamp sheet (counts as a quiz grade) • Pencil, thorough, all work shown • Approximately 4 times per week • Not accepted late unless due to absence

  9. Tests and quizzes • Announced in class and posted on my math Google Classroom • Are given back to take home as soon as all students take them (the exceptions are district tests) • Should be corrected with post-its • All assessments will be posted on the HAC as soon as they are graded. HAC

  10. Expectations • NOTEBOOKS: I strongly recommend a three-ring binder and spiral notebook. This is a great tool that helps many students keep their work organized. Many notes and examples will be taken each day. Handouts, tests, and quizzes will also be put in. . • Organization is the key. The binder will be a wonderful referral tool to prepare for tests, quizzes, and quarterlies.

  11. EFFORT/BEHAVIOR: I expect all of my students to give me all of their effort and attention while in my class and while doing any assignment. I also expect the respect that comes with being a teacher. They can expect the same from me. PARTICIPATION: Class participation is highly encouraged! Students benefit immensely when they take an active part in their learning.

  12. PREPAREDNESS: Please come to class prepared each day. This includes binder, pencils, and calculator. Students will not be allowed to their lockers after the bell has rung. • CLINIC: I am available for clinic on Thursday afternoons from 3:00- 3:45 and one or more mornings during resource TBD.

  13. Make-Up Policy • PLEASE check my Google Classroom when you miss class. You can download the lesson/notes and homework right from home. • Come in RA to get anything else that might have been handed out. • Schedule a day and time to make up any test or quiz that you may have missed.
