ONLINE TEXTBOOK ACCESS:
Will be available this year, and codes are provided on Weebly via link. www.FHSAFreeman.weebly.com
Interactive Notebook (iBook)
The composition book will be used for the math interactive notebook. This is a personalized textbook created by the student to help keep notes organized. It is also a portfolio to showcase what a student has learned in math class. This must be brought to class every day.
Criteria for Credit
All assignments, quizzes, and tests must follow Criteria for Credit. Criteria for Credit includes showing all work, using pencil, taking off any perforated edges, boxing the final answer, and having a proper heading in the upper right hand corner that includes: Name, class period, and date. Each assignment should be titled with provided information.
Assignment Policies
There will be at least two graded assignments per week. These grades could be: an iBook check, daily in-class assignment (any assignment given during the class period to be completed in class), Do Now, quiz, math wondering participation, group work, homework, or project grade. Homework will be assigned on a daily basis (see Flipped Classroom handout for specifics). ALL due dates are provided with assignments and should be written in student’s Agenda Book.
Late Work
Due to the nature of this course, quick feedback is imperative to avoid continued misconceptions. Late work is accepted up to 1 day late (with a point penalty of 50%), however, students who submit late work will not be able to receive quick feedback, which could affect current assignments. I utilize the Flipped Classroom model, so the majority of homework is in preparation for the next class.
Absent- Make up Policy
When a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to ask for class work / tests per district policy. The student must make up the work outside of the classroom within the specified time frame.
Classroom Expectations:
- Arrive to class on time and be seated by the time the bell rings
- Be prepared with all necessary materials: pencil and composition book
- Be responsible for your own learning: Give results, not excuses
- Be respectful of others’ right to a positive learning environment
- Express your opinions in the correct time, place and manner.
- Never give up on yourself and ask me for help!
Extra Help – Tutoring - Resources
The online book has tutorials which solve problems step by step, videos, and more. Student iBooks are a wonderful resource when working on homework. Students are provided my cell number as well. There is also a Group Me for each class, which is a platform to be used for peer tutoring, which will be monitored by me. Students should use these resources throughout the year.
