Homework is assigned after most lessons. Students will be told how the assignment will be graded at the time it is given. **At the top of each assignment, you must neatly write your first and last name, your class number, the date and the assignment (Pg. 9: 1-39 odd).** Students are encouraged to seek extra help if they are having difficulties with the homework. Extra help sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays during recess from 11:20 – 11:50.
 * Homework **

Class work includes activities, group assignments and projects. Students will maintain a math notebook that will count as part of their class work grade. Therefore, keeping a complete and organized one is essential.
 * Class work/Projects **

There will be regular quizzes to check mastery of the material. Tests will be given at the end of each chapter. There will be approximately 2-3 tests each quarter. Retests will be allowed only if the student receives a score lower than 70%. A retest can increase a score to 70% at best, and needs to occur within one week of the original test being returned to the student. A parent signature on the failed test is required, as is further reviewing. The retake will be during recess time or after school by arrangement. As these are worth a large percentage of the course grade, students need to develop good study skills in order to be successful.
 * Quizzes/Tests **

Students can receive extra help on day 2 and day 6 during recess from 11:20 – 11:50.
 * Extra Help **

Tests 40% Class work, quizzes, projects: 30% Homework 30%
 * Grading **

I use the online grading program, //POWER SCHOOL,// which allows students and their parents to view their progress in their core subjects. I expect all students to check //POWER SCHOOL// regularly to ensure all assignments are completed. You will receive a login code and be able to access //POWER SCHOOL// through the class website.
