  10. Daily Work • Unit Packet has class work and homework — we are working on the Rigid Motion Unit currently. • Math notebook (spiral) is for class notes. • Late work is accepted.

  11. Assessments Directly show your student’s level of understanding on each of the standards that we will learn this year. Assessments have multiple scores – one for each topic on the assessment. • Level 4: Advanced understanding of concept • Level 3: Proficient understanding of concept • Level 2: Basic understanding of concept, students needs a little help • Level 1: Student is not yet able to demonstrate understanding of concept—NEEDS HELP! • NE: No Evidence, missing, blank.

  12. Assessments ALL quizzes and tests (except the final) can be retaken to show improved understanding (improved score replaces lower score.) To retake tests: • students need to have all work complete. • Students need to correct mistakes on quiz/ test (can see me for help) • Schedule retake with me either before or after school or at 2nd lunch
