  9. Common Core = Best Math Practices • Another essential part to our learning journey this year… • ..\common core poster.doc

  10. Math Calendars… • Students will receive a new math calendar every Friday for the following week. (Please take a copy of this week’s math calendar for an example. (On the tables)) • Due dates for all homework, projects, quizzes/tests, etc. will be on the math calendar and my blog: www.lh06bps.wordpress.com • Students should keep math calendars in a place where they can find it daily!

  11. My Blog… • http://www.lh06bps.wordpress.com • @ this site, you will be able to go to my blog so that you can view your child’s DUE DATES for math homework, quests, projects, etc. • You can visit my page too for the current unit of study and get more math info/help by using links for great places to visit...

  12. Math Journal/spiral notebook and purple pen check… • Please Keep Math Books @ Home… Students will also have online access… • Student Choice: Binder vs Expando folder? • A journal/spiral notebook works best for math homework so that it can be kept together in order for easy access. (like a journal). Easier to study for assessments and district assessments. • We are using Purple pens for checking to help see the data (our action analysis) of items needing extra attention. What I don’t know yet and need to learn & know. Or I made a “Goofy Error” and need to be more careful…

  13. Homework Grading: Most Homework given is for a completion grade of 3/3 points This is NOT an accuracy grade, but a completion grade to promote making the effort to do the Work and it is OK to make mistakes! The weekly Homework Quizzes are the ACCURACY grade for the homework given that week. If a child cannot complete their homework for any reason (family obligations, etc.), please sign your initials on the homework for excused or time extended. (Students have 3 tickets to use during the quarter for a “due next class extension”). No late grades will be given… State of Michigan and district math standards are vigorous and it will be essential for all students to stay on course and do work on time… I will accommodate number of problems, etc. as needed – please see my blog for details… Please encourage the use of the following resources if students are stuck during homework time!
