Mrs. Anglin 7th Grade Math 2009 - 2010
Welcome to my class! This is going to be a fun and challenging year for your students. Because we have many important topics to cover in our class, it is important that students come to class prepared every day with their supplies, homework, and a good attitude.
Expectations for Math Class:
- Always respect yourself, your classmates, and your teacher.
- Be in your seat ready to work when the tardy bell rings.
- Come to class with all of the required supplies each day.
- Be prepared to pay attention and learn.
Supplies Needed:
Pencil, red grading pens, and highlighter (no blue or purple) - need in class every day
Notebook paper
A section of a large binder (or a 1-inch separate math binder)
Notebook dividers (5)
1 spiral or composition notebook – needs to be at least 70 pages, wide-ruled preferred
Ruler, with centimeters and inches to the sixteenths
Dry-Erase marker (low odor preferred) brought to class daily
SCIENTIFIC calculator (Please do not bring a graphing calculator.) We will not use this in class until after TAKS test in April.
Grading Policy:
Major Grades (tests/projects)…………………… 60%
Daily Grades (classwork/homework)…………… 20%
Quiz Grades………………………………………. 20%
Other Information:
1) Class begins when you walk in the door. I expect you to get out your materials, sharpen your pencils, and immediately begin the warm-up once you enter the classroom. A BSD will be given for lack of supplies.
2) ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN FOR CREDIT, neatly and always in pencil. Failure to use pencil will result in points taken off of work.
3) All assignments are due the next day. LATE WORK IS NOT ACCEPTED!!
4) ABSENCES: You have one day for each day you are absent to complete make-up work, unless your absence is lengthy. Any work assigned before an absence should be turned in the next day you are in class. Keep your planner up-to-date. Assignments will be posted on my website: www.anglinmath.com
5) Tutoring is available Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 8:05 a.m. Please let me know if you will be coming ahead of time. PLEASE ASK FOR HELP AS SOON AS YOU START TO FEEL LOST!! DO NOT WAIT --- IT WILL ONLYGET WORSE.
6) Students who make below a 70 on a test may be eligible to take a re-test. Re-tests and make-up tests (test missed during absence) will be given before school at 8:00 a.m. Please let me know when you will be taking a re-test or a make-up test.
Re-Test Guidelines: (1) Maximum re-test grade is a 70. (2) Only one re-test per nine weeks. (3) Student is responsible to schedule and take the re-test within one week of the original test.
7) Failure to obey posted classroom rules may result in detentions, parent phone calls, or referrals.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or phone, or by scheduling a conference through the counseling center.
