- Credit for accuracy will not be awarded unless it is evident the student modeled the concepts and examples from the notes/class work.
- The student MUST show the steps used and not just an answer (as modeled in class).
Tests/Quizzes:
- Quizzes and tests will be given throughout each unit to assess learning.
- There will be no sharing of calculators on quizzes and tests. If you wish to use a calculator, you must bring your own. We recommend purchasing a Ti36X Pro. (you may not use your cell phone calculator).
- Talking during quizzes and tests constitutes cheating. You WILL RECEIVE A ZERO.
Milestone End of Course
- The EOC is a state-mandated test that counts 20% of the overall class average.
Grading:
- Semester grades consist of the following:
71% Summative (test/unit projects/quizzes)
29% Formative (quizzes/warm-ups/graded homework)
- Informal (daily assessments/daily homework)
Mathematics Department Mastery Plan:
- Students will have an opportunity to show mastery (RETEST) on one unit test and receive full credit.
- In addition you will have the opportunity to RECOVER your unit test to show mastery on a failing unit test, but the highest grade you can earn is a 70.
- You initiate the process.
- You have attempted the original assessment
- You prepare for and attend at least one tutoring session with their teacher
- You complete corrections on missed problems from the original test.
- You must be completed before the next unit test
For our Hybrid Learning Schedule...
- If a student does not take a scheduled Unit Test within the given open-window time frame, students can exercise the RETAKE option after the Test Window has closed but their maximum score from this attempt is the 70% mark as stated in the above mentioned paragraph.
Any assessment where cheating has occurred is exempt from this opportunity
Binder:
- It is imperative each student keep an organized binder.
- Students must keep all unit tasks, unit packets, homework, class work, warm-ups, quizzes. All notes and examples including foldables or graphic organizers are to be kept in either a spiral notebook or a composition notebook. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get notes from a classmate to copy. You can also attend tutoring.
Tutoring: Tutoring is offered at specific times throughout the week. Additional tutoring is offered by other math teachers and can be found on the NPHS website or posted outside my door.
- Our specific tutoring time will be posted on our Website and in our room. These sessions will be held in room 1021. Any other days you would like to come in for assistance, please make arrangements with Coach Day or Coach Delgado first.
- We are willing to assist any student who feels the need for extra help. However, if a student has not utilized class time wisely or is not utilizing tutoring time wisely, then the student will be asked to leave.
