CLASSWORK
Students should keep all math assignments in their math binder only. Assignments given in class daily should be completed and checked by student. If an assignment was given in class but not completed in class it is for homework.
HOMEWORK
Students will need to complete and check the accuracy of classroom assignments on a daily basis. They are required to keep all math assignments in their math binder. Students should also study measurement flashcards, math vocabulary, and math notebook materials.

The math notebook is intended to be a tool to increase student success in the classroom. Students are accountable for keeping all math assignments and resources in their math notebook at all times. This includes…
• Detailed Lesson Notes
• Whole-Group Activities
• Small-Group Activities
• Projects
• Vocabulary
• Flashcards
The teacher will provide guidance for organization of math assignments and resources in the notebook. Students will receive a glossary at the end of each nine weeks as a quick reference for the information already learned. Students should not remove math materials from the notebook unless teacher collects the information as a grade.
GRADES
Test Grades: One test grade will be given weekly (this does not include flashcard “pop quizzes”).
Weekly Math Notebook Grades: One math notebook grade will be give weekly. Teacher will choose items to grade at random. Students will not be notified in advance of the items that will be taken for grade. Students should complete all assignments to the best of their ability. Grades will be determined by averaging grades for all quizzes, homework, projects, classwork/ activities, and tests. Group problem solving activities and class participation will count as one grade. Homework grades are based on completion. Parent signatures will be required on the four and one-half week and the nine week computer generated reports each semester that are provided by the teacher.
