When are your tutorials for Math?

I will hold tutorials on Monday and Tuesday afternoons from 3:30 until 4:15 p.m. I encourage students to come and ask me if I will be 
available at other times if they are having difficulty with a particular concept on days other than the two scheduled times. If I am available, I will be happy to work 
with them.

Does my child need to sign up with you in advance for tutorials?

It would be helpful if your child would let me know in advance 
that he/she would like to attend tutorials.  They only need to 
mention it to me before or after class so that I know I will have 
participants in the tutorial sessions.

Should my child come every week for tutorials?

Your child should come to tutorials if he/she is having difficulty
with a particular concept in Math.  I do not want students to come
to tutorials because they have been told to come and do not have
any idea what they need to work on.  Students need to learn that 
tutorials are a place to go for help when needed.  It is 
extremely important for students to learn to recognize when they 
need to come in for help.

Can my child come to tutorials to get help with homework?

It is okay with me if your child wants to come to my room during
tutorials to work on homework.  I will be available to assist them
with difficulties that they may encounter.

How can I access the on-line textbook for Math?

You can access your textbook on-line by first going to my Math 
Links tab.  Once there, go to the first choice, "Glencoe Course 2 
or Course 3 On-Line Textbook Link."  Click on that link.  Once on 
the Glencoe site, click on "students" which will then take you to 
a separate page that will ask for a class code on the right-hand 
side of the page.  The class code for Math-7 students to access 
the Course 2 textbook is:  Warckencourse2.  
The class code for Accel/TAG students to access the Course 3 
textbook is:  Warckencourse3.

How are grades weighted in 7th grade Math?

Grades are weighted as follows for all 7th grade Math and 
Accel/TAG students:

55% for daily work with quizzes counting as 2 daily grades
45% for tests and major projects

These percentages are subject to change pending the RRISD School Board's decision on grading policies for 2011-12.
