Assignment Types & Weight Values
Algebra I and Math Course 3
Effective November 18, 2010
1. CLASS PARTICIPATION 10%
2. DAILY ASSIGNMENT 20%
Daily assignments will consist of a lesson from the book worth 5 points
and a quiz over that lesson also worth 5 points.
3. TEST 70%

All math problems should be worked neatly in pencil. Numbers that cannot be read will be marked incorrect. Use labels when necessary.
20%-Daily Class Participation
Students will receive 5 points every day for participating in daily lesson activities such as Power Ups (facts, mental math, and problem solving), Warm Ups (brief skill review), Practice Sets, Investigations, and Labs. When a student is absent, he/she will be required to complete these activities as make-up work.
20%-Homework
Students are generally required to complete one homework assignment of approximately 30 problems per day. Every student should work every problem every day. Correctly-worked homework problems will be scored using the following rubric.
5 points---30 problems
4 points---25-29 problems
3 points---20-24 problems
2 points---10-19 problems
1 point----1-9 problems
0 points---No assignment/No work shown
60%-Assessments
Cumulative Tests will generally be administered after every 5 lessons and will be worth approximately 20 points. Every test error must be reworked correctly to receive credit. If a student is not satisfied with a test score, another form of the test may be taken after review/reteaching has been completed. Power-Up Tests (Grades 7 and 8) will be administered on the same day as
cumulative tests and will test facts and problem-solving skills. Each test will be worth 4 points. No retakes. Various Other Assessments will be administered throughout the year. Points will be assigned according to participation and direct correlation to our textbook.

All assignments, projects, quizzes, and tests will be scored on a point basis. Points will be determined by the difficulty of the activity. For example, a test may be worth 15 points and a daily assignment may be worth only 2 points. All papers must be neat and legible. Correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation is expected. Late papers are automatically reduced by approximately 10% of the total points possible. Tests will always be announced; quizzes may be a surprise.

ACT Prep:

This class is graded as Pass/Fail. Any student that attends class regularly and completes the in-class assignments will 'Pass'. Homework will rarely be assigned unless a student has been absent.

Math Problem Solving

WebMath is designed to help you solve your math problems. Composed of forms to fill-in and then returns analysis of a problem and, when possible, provides a step-by-step solution. Covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. Each of the 120 warm-up pages in this book has 5 problems aligned with the Common Core State Standards for 7th grade math. It is my goal that this warm-up program will help propel your 7th grade math students to success in math this year and for years to come. Implementing this Warm-Up Program in Your Classroom. Solving word problems requires both strategy and skill. When confronted with a problem, students need to figure out how to solve the problem-and then solve it! The 250 exercises in each book help students learn a variety of strategies for solving problems as well as grade-specific math skills. The content is correlated to the Common Core State Standards.
