    DAILY:  (40% of nine week’s grade)

    HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK/QUIZZES

    Daily grades may be taken from classwork, quizzes, or google classroom.   Once the grade is recorded, time is spent going over any questions anyone has on the assignment.  Quizzes will be given periodically over previously taught and practiced material to solidify understanding.

     

    TESTS:  (60% of nine week’s grade)

    Test grades may be taken from: quizzes, formative assessments, or projects. Students may attend tutorials and take 1 retest per 9 week grading period, except for Benchmarks. Students are responsible for scheduling tutorials and retest times.  Benchmark assessments will be given in December and another in February.. These Benchmarks are used for data purposes and determine tutorial placement and to guide instruction.  

     

    TUTORIALS:

    Tutorials are available  Monday,Tuesday & Thursday before school at 7:15 and after school from 3:40-4:30 pm

    Lunch tutorials can be scheduled each week with the teacher on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

     

    DAILY WORK HELP:

    You may email your student’s teacher if you have questions about any work.. Also, students may use the resources found on their math teacher webpages, use this link https://www3.hisd.com/Page/558 or use the attached QR codes for additional support.

    ABSENT DAYS:

    Google classroom has been created for students who miss any classroom instruction time.  All notes will be uploaded and will be the students responsibility to copy any information they may have missed into their Math Notebook.  The library is open to students in the morning and other times during the day for any student who does not have access at home.  Students and/or parents can join the HJH 8th Grade Math Google Classroom using class code: p3es

    COMMUNICATION:

    I believe parent communication is very important for your child to perform to the best of their ability; therefore, I will be sending emails periodically so parents are aware of what is happening in class.  Because most of my time is spent with students, my primary source of communication is email which may not be seen until the end of the day.  I will do my best to respond to any parent concerns as quickly as possible.  Your students Math Notebook is going to be the window to what we are learning in class.  I have also attached some helpful links on skills that we will be targeting this year.

     

    ADVANCED MATH REQUIREMENTS:

    Our goal is to grow each student to their full potential in whichever class they have selected; however, more will be expected from those choosing the Advanced route.

    ➧ Note-taking is more extensive.  

    ➧The rigor, including both assignments and assessments is greater.

    ➧The pace is faster due to the coverage of both 7th and 8th material
