enVision Math 5
class will consist of:
1. Warm up activities: Facts practice, facts practice will focus on speed tests and review
concepts.
2. Daily lesson: instruction is given on the new topic including
example problems.
3. Examples and Practice problems.
4. Homework: Homework will be given daily. It will consist of practice from the days lesson
or review from previous lessons
Problem of the week: Some weeks students will be given a problem of the
week. These problems will focus on various problem solving strategies. We
will discuss the strategy and look at a sample problem for practice.
Students will complete the other problems on the worksheet. Completed
problems will be due on Friday.
Homework: Homework will be given daily. Students can expect a minimum of
30 minutes of Math homework per night.(on average). Late homework will be penalized according
to the Star handbook. Penalties for late homework are as follows:
1. The first day late is minus 20 points.
2. The second day late grades will be penalized an additional 30 points.(50 total)
3. After the third day a zero will be given however the assignment must still be completed.
Homework is essential to mastery of Math skills. Please establish a quiet place and regular
routine for homework.
*Generally, all computation work must be shown in order to receive full
credit. Failure to show work will be penalized by up to the loss of 10 points or the student
may be required to redo the assignment.
Examples of work expectations will be demonstrated and explained during each lesson.
Grades will be determined by performance on homework, classwork, quizzes and tests.
