  1. Welcome to Ms. Serio’s Pre-Algebra Class kserio@kyrene.org

  2. A Little about Ms. Serio • Secondary Education (Mathematics) at ASU • I live with my boyfriend of 4 years and my two amazing pups. • I am an Arizona native and grew up in Kyrene. • This will be my first official year of teaching. • Student taught here at Aprende. • Excited and eager to spread my love for math with all my students this year

  3. Curriculum is based on real-life, math-related scenarios • Text is organized to be implemented as whole class, individual and small group learning • The MATHia software is ideal for extended learning and intervention. • We will utilize MATHia regularly in class, but each student is also expected to work on it outside of class. Certain modules will be due at the end of each quarter.

  4. Classroom Norms: • All students are expected to be in their class on time, ready to learn every day. • Students must have all of their supplies with them every day. • Students will have homework every night, either an assignment or 20 minutes of MATHia. Students should write daily assignments in their planner. Parents please make sure students are writing assignments and due dates down regularly to keep on top of their assignments. • Discipline • Refocus warning • In-class relocation • Timeout in ISI room (In School Intervention) • Parent contact/meeting • Office referral

  5. Aprende’s Common Math Expectations • All work must be completed in pencil, no erasable pen • Rewrite the original problem • Show all work, every step, going down the paper (vertically) • If you are not sure how to complete a homework problem, ask someone for help. If there is no one available to ask, give it your very best guess. Do not just skip it. *No work = No credit.

  6. A Typical day in math • Warm-ups/Bellwork • Grade, review, and discuss homework • Introduction to the lesson/main topics • Group-centered problem solving discussions • Practice/Homework

  7. Extra Help • Tutoring is offered EVERY TUESDAYafter school in my classroom from 3:30pm – 4:30pm. Any student can attend. • Activity bus available

  8. Late work policy • Any missing work can be turned in for credit. • Missing assignments will appear as half credit in the gradebook with a missing tag attached to it. • Any missing work can be turned in by the final test date for that unit. • Missing work can be turned in for full credit!

  9. Pre-algebra course outline 1st • Circles & Ratio • Fractional Rates • Proportionality/Proportional Relationships QUARTER 2nd • Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide Integers • Algebraic Expressions, Equations & Inequalities QUARTER 3rd • Algebraic Expressions, Equations & Inequalities • Probability • Drawing Inferences QUARTER 4th • Angles and Triangles • Scale Drawings/Factors • Volume & Surface Area QUARTER

  10. Aprende grading Homework/Class work 20% Tests/Quizzes 80% • Your child can expect about 20 minutes of homework every day in math class. Most days students will have 5-10 minutes to start homework in class. • Please regularly check with your child regarding their math homework. • Students are responsible for recording their assignments in their agendas daily. • All homework will also be listed on my class website.

  11. Supplies for PRE-Algebra • One 2-3” binder (will be shared with Social studies) • One spiral notebook • Loose leaf paper (will be used for homework and warm – ups) • Ruler • Dry erase markers (We do a lot of whiteboard reviews) • Pencils, pens, and highlighter Donations for Pre-Algebra • Binder paper • Tissue • Clorox wipes • Individually wrapped candy

  12. Student agendas • Physical agendas will be provided • Agendas should arrive by the end of the first week of school. • Agendas will be the main form of communication in your student’s classes. • There will be agenda checks weekly in their advisory class
