Algebra 1
1. Regular ATTENDANCE is essential because the learning of mathematics
is a building process. MAKE-UP work is the responsibility of the
STUDENT. Work must be handed in on the second day after returning
from and excused absence. For longer absences, discuss a due date
with me. Unexcused absences and tardies will result in a zero for
the day.
2. HOMEWORK should be kept up to date for optimum learning. I do not grade papers according to the number correct on each assignment, but rather on whether you have made a sincere effort to work each problem and your success on these attempts. Homework is to be done in pencil. Late homework WILL NOT be accepted.
3. A NOTEBOOK should be kept with material kept in an organized, logical manner.
4. TEST and QUIZZES will be given throughout each marking period. Test will complete each chapter and will be announced well in advance. Quizzes may be given at any time.
5. SUPPLIES are the responsibility of the STUDENT. You will be expected to be in you seat with the required book, pencil, and notebook WHEN THE BELL RINGS. No passes will be issued for forgetful students.
6. If you need EXTRA HELP on any assignment see me either before school, during lunch hour, during my prep hour, during my professional hour, or after school. I will be glad to help any student who had made a sincere effort on any problem.
7. GRADES are determined by a percentage of the TOTAL POINTS possible
in the marking period, by the table below:
94-100% A 73-76% C
90-93% A- 70-72% C-
87-89% B+ 67-69% D+
83-86% B 63-66% D
80-82% B- 60-62% D-
77-79% C+ 0-59% F
Students will score points for:
a. daily work
b. quizzes
c. tests
d. notebook
Semester grading policy:
First nine weeks- 40%
Second nine weeks- 40%
Semester exam- 20%
8. DAILY WORK must be completed on the DUE DATE. Your name must be in the upper right hand corner or your paper will be thrown out. The assignment must be listed under your name in the upper right hand corner of the paper.
9. CLASS ORGANIZATION
a. Answer questions on homework
You may work on other problems as long as you’re quiet and not distracting
me or other students.
b. Presentation of new material
I will generally cover new concepts on the chalkboard or overhead.
It needs to be especially quiet during this time so others have a sound
chance of understanding the new material.
c. Time will be given to work on assignments and/or finish explanation
of new material.
On assignments you may work together as long as you remain relatively
quiet. During this time, I will walk around the room and assist students
encountering difficulties.
10. CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
Effective learning will be most likely to take place in a quiet, orderly
classroom. To this end, you are expected to conduct yourself as a
mature high school student. Common sense, courtesy, and good taste
shall be standards by which your action will be evaluated. Any conduct,
which results in the disruption of normal classroom activities, will not
be permitted and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. You
have a choice: Follow the rules and enjoy the rewards, or misbehave and
accept the consequences.

School
