Hope everyone had a great summer break and is ready to return to school. I would like to tell you a little about my grading system.
My grading system is a little
different. For homework not turned in the students will receive a 2.5
instead of a 0. This is still an F, but will not unfairly penalize the
students. If you have questions please contact me. A 5 means that the
student understands the concepts and was able to complete the
assignment. A 4 means that the student is still having some difficulty
with the concepts. A 3 means that the student needs more practice and a
2.5 means that the concept is not understood at all or that the paper
was not turned in.
The students will be given user names and passwords to log on to the Holt site. The Url is http://my.hrw.com/
If you need the log in information please email me at b.chigbrow@laschools.net
Here are two really good math web sites:
Coolmath.com This site has games and explanation on how to do math.
http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxmath/
Tuxmath is a free download. It has games like Space Invaders that help
build fluency.
The students have all been given math books, most of my homework will come from the book. Your
student will have homework every night except Friday. I would like the students to spend
20-30 minutes on math a night. This can be finishing homework or
reviewing the concepts that were covered in class. Math has very
specific vocabulary and reviewing the vocabulary each night will help
your student be more successful. If your student is struggling with an
assignment, have them try to reread the directions, attempt some of the
problems, and if they are still confused have them bring questions to
class the next day.
