Math Class Procedures Mrs. Bade 2007 - 2008
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians, Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year. I am very excited about getting to know you and opening your world to the FUN that Math is!

Grading Policy · Homework is due the next class day unless otherwise specified. All late work must be submitted within a week of the due date. If a student misses an excused day of school s/he has two days to make-up the work. After the first day, students will have one day for every day absent to make up work. · Students who are absent are responsible for getting their homework assignment(s) upon returning to class. If requested the assignments will be made available for parent/guardian to collect. · Pencil must be used on all assignments · Students must show all steps on all assignments. NO WORK, NO CREDIT. · Expect homework every day including Fridays. · Students and parents/guardians are encouraged to check my teacher webpage for any upcoming quizzes or tests. · The math department has a standard numerical grading policy. o Daily Work (Classwork/Homework) 15% o Quizzes 35% o Projects/Tests 50% · A student scoring below a 70% on a test or quiz can qualify for a retest by submitting corrections and/or attending tutorials for re-teaching to obtain a maximum score of 70%. · Parents/Guardians may access grades through Home Access and are encouraged to stay involved with their student’s progress and performance. · Weekly agenda and assignments can be viewed on my teacher webpage as well as on the classroom agenda board.
Math Notebook & Folder All students need a math spiral and a 2-pocket folder with brads. The folder will be supplied by the teacher as it will be color coordinated by period. The following items need to be in the math folder and math notebook/spiral:
1) Folder a) Graded work – including homework, quizzes, tests, and projects b) Math Formula Chart 2) Notebook a) Inside Front Cover – Math Formula Chart b) Section 1: i) Table of Contents pp. 1-4 ii) Math Class Procedures pp. 5-6 iii) Advanced Organizers pp. 7-13 iv) Grades pp. 13-18 v) Example of Note Format pp. 19-20 vi) Vocabulary pp. 21 – 36 or end of section c) Section 2: Warm-ups – Notes - Assignments d) Section 3: Math Journal
The math folder can be archived every six weeks for assistance throughout the year and especially for midterms and finals.
Tutoring · Tutoring will be offered with times posted on the classroom web site. · Students must let teacher know they are coming · Other times may be arranged with the teacher
Student Expectations · Be prepared EVERY DAY with supplies, assignments, and a great attitude! · RESPECT yourself and others. · Complete assignments in PENCIL, showing all work neatly. · Ask for help as soon as you need it. · Participate in class. LEARNING IS A PARTNERSHIP.
Late Arrivals Tardy students must obtain the necessary passes and join the classroom quietly.
Behavior Management Plan The students in this class are part of a learning community that requires each individual to be compliant with class guidelines and expectations in order for the course goals/objectives to be realized. The consequences for infractions of expectations will be on a graduated scale beginning with a verbal warning and escalating through several levels (4 – 5), including guardian notification, and culminating with a referral to the principal. The plan is designed to foster the student’s ability to self-regulate and become a fully integrated and productive member of the community through teacher and guardian advocacy.
Class Moto I can do it! You can help.
