8TH GRADE CURRICULUM
NIGHT ALGEBRA
WELCOME
Try this problem:
This is similar to a bellwork problem our students complete when we begin class each day.
GRADING SCALE
A – 90 – 100B – 80 – 89C – 70 - 79D – 60 - 69F - 59 or below
HOW ARE STUDENTS GRADED?
Daily Grades- 25% of total grade Homework- will be assigned most nights and
will be checked for a weekly homework grade. Homework is vital to being successful in learning mathematics.
Quizzes - will be given on a regular basis. They will be short, made up of about ten questions.
Projects will count as 2 quiz grades. Ten points will be deducted for each day the project is turned in late.
Classwork- Any work completed in class that is graded. Student must keep up with notes and bellwork to be turned in
GRADING SYSTEM
Test Grades- 75% of total grade Tests will be given at the end of each
chapter. Students will be given a studyguide the day
before each chapter test. We will complete the review in class and work
the problems together. Exams are at the end of each semester,
December 19th-20th, then on May 21st- 22nd. Exams count as two test grades.
We will review the content covered a few days prior to the semester exam.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend class daily. Class time is valuable and instruction cannot be made up if it is missed. I encourage students to come to class everyday, if they are absent they are missing something in my class. Make-up work can only be done for excused absences.
MAKE-UP WORK
Students with excused absences must request make-up work upon arrival back to school then missed assignments must be turned in within 5 days of their return.
It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor for any make-up work.
*No make-up work for UNEXCUSED absences.
ALGEBRA I CURRICULUM
More challenging than ever, students must spend time outside of class preparing for Algebra class.

Since this is an advanced class student expectations are set at a higher level and students must be determined meet these expectations.

SELF-CHECK QUIZZESSelf-Check quizzes, practice tests and much more are available. These are interactive and provide immediate feedback for students to check their progress.
LAPTOPS ARE IN! HP EliteBook 2740p Tablet PC
Manual: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13097_na/13097_na.pdf
In math class students will use these laptops to take notes each day, web-quests to investigate real-world applications of mathematics, access their textbook, and much more.
LAPTOP TIPS Discuss the purpose of the school issued
laptop with your student School assignments
Research Writing papers Textbooks
Equitable access for all students Create 21st Century students for the workforce
Remind students that there is a filter on their laptop that will not allow them to visit certain websites, even at home.
