Directions for submitting test/quiz corrections: You have the option of completing corrections for tests and quizzes. Follow this procedure to earn back half of the points you missed. 1. Use a new sheet of loose leaf paper. 2. Re-do the problem correctly showing ALL work. 3. Complete an error analysis. This means you need to tell me what error you made on the test or quiz. Be specific. Don't tell me you were careless. Did you calculate incorrectly? Did you follow the incorrect process? Did you copy the problem incorrectly? Did you follow the directions? 4. Staple your corrections on the top of your original test or quiz. 5. Turn in your corrections the NEXT time you have class. I will NOT accept corrections late! You will earn half credit for corrections. They will show up on your grade sheet as extra credit. This is the only opportunity you will have in my class for extra credit! If you have questions, please be sure to see me BEFORE corrections are due! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ September 2009:
WELCOME to Grade 8 Math! Students will need the following supplies for math class this year: 3 ring binder Loose Leaf Paper 1 subject notebook (2) 3x5 index cards (1 pack) Ruler Compass Protractor Pocket folder Pencils (ALL work MUST be completed in pencil) TI-83+ calculators are available for each student to use during math class periods. Please see the information provided in the EMMS Supply list regarding the type of calculator you may wish to purchase for use at home. Expect math homework each class day, including weekends. You are expected to attempt every problem and show all your work! If you cannot complete a particular problem, do all you can, and state what is causing you difficulty. Keep all math work in a 3 ring binder, pocket folder, and/or spiral notebook. I use total points for grading purposes. Points will vary by individual assignment. Assignments will include tests, quizzes, class work, and homework. Quarterly grades will be calculated as follows: Points earned/Points possible x 100 = percentage grade Grading Scale: 90-100% = A 80-89% = B 70-79% = C 60-69% = D <60% = E This year I will be using TeacherEase as my online grading program. Information regarding TeacherEase was included in your child’s First Day Folder. Please check your child’s academic progress throughout the school year. Please contact me if you are unable to access your child’s grades online. Students who are absent from class must make up missing work. When a student misses a class, he/she should call a friend to get the assignment or check my website. Be sure to visit our school website at http://www2.hcpss.org/emms/ to find important information. Click on Teacher List – Math Teachers – Margaret Caporaletti to find daily homework assignments. All Grade 8 students in the State of Maryland will be taking the Maryland School Assessment in March 2010. I am looking forward to a super year! If you have any questions or concerns during the year, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My email address is: margaret_caporaletti@hcpss.org or you can leave a message by calling the school at (410) 313-2839. I will make every effort to respond within 24 hours. Students will be asking parents/guardians to complete an information sheet that needs to be signed and returned to me during their next math class. Thanks!
