  4. Core Curriculum Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  7. Classroom routine • Prompt to copy homework • Complete warm-up • During warm-up, homework is checked for completion • We go over the warm-up • Address any homework questions • Introduce/practice/apply new concepts

  8. Homework • Homeworkmay beassigned daily • Practice/reinforcement of that day’s concept or preview an upcoming concept • Yes, students should check answers when available • After thefirst quarter,during which students will get half credit, LATE homework will be marked complete but receive a zero • students may redo HW for more points if they do not show work, write in pencil, etc…

  9. Materials • Pencil, only, for all math work • Notebook should go back and forth daily and homework should be in the notebook • Agenda book • Things for home: • Scientific calculator • Ruler, protractor, compass, graph paper

  10. Calculator use • If calculators were used in class, they are allowed on homework • Students would benefit most from a scientific calculator at home… • Squares & square roots, parentheses • Fractions • Personal calculators DO NOT need to be brought to class

  11. Assessment • No quarterly assessments this year. • Quizzes periodically and unit tests at the end of each unit. • MSA in March – covers grade level curriculum • Skills checks: 2-5 points, 2 or 3 questions to assess mastery of daily content

  12. Absence/Make-up/Missing Work • Check my website • Student should see me upon return, check class folder on bulletin board • Students have the same number of days as they were out to make up missed work for full credit • I will plan a make-up day every couple of weeks to allow students to “catch-up” due to absences and pull outs and complete activities they might have missed
