Welcome parents & Students to CCSS math 8th, here are some things you need to be aware of for this year to be a successful one.

COURSE CONTENT: We will be covering Number Properties and Number System, Expressions and Equations, Linear Equations and Linear Inequalities, Graphing Linear and Non-Linear Equations, Systems of Linear Equations, Functions, Geometry and The Pythagorean Theorem, as well as Statistics and Probability.

GRADING POLICY:

Student's grades will be based on: Meet our team.

• Homework 30% of overall average
• Classwork/Participation 20% of overall average
• Tests 30% of overall average
• Quizzes 20% of overall average

PROGRESS REPORTS:

Students and parents can access grades online. I will be updating them periodically.

MATERIALS:

Textbook, (please bring it daily), school binder with purple math notebook, several pencils, erasers, pencil sharpener and a folder for handouts and graded work.

HOMEWORK:

Homework will be assigned daily. Some days we will have time to start and finish in class. If a student misses an assignment due to an excused absence, he/she is responsible for the work missed. Assignments missed due to unexcused absences will receive a zero. Homework will not be accepted late, and make up work will not be given in its place. If students are participating in a school activity that prevents them from attending class are responsible for making sure their assignment are turned in on time.

EVALUATION AND TESTING:

There will be chapter/Unit tests and short checking for understanding quizzes. If you are absent on a test/quiz day, you must make it up. This must be done upon your return from your absence. Failure to do so will result in a zero for that test.
