Material Expectations:
Students are expected to use a school provided 3-ring binder (1 inch- not bulky & not fancy) to keep all of their math papers in. They should always be prepared in math with two or more pencils (mechanical would be best; up to 12 of these will be provided through Mrs. Goff for the school year) and two red pens for correcting. They should not throw away any completed math paperwork unless directed to do so by Mrs. Goff; it should all be filed in their binders.
Main Resource Used For Class:
HMH Into Math Grade 6- this is a workbook where they will write & draw on the pages to become a more confident user of math; it’s guided note taking; students should reread and study these pages several times before each module test
(Turn this page over for more information on the backside.)
Math Homework:
Students have math homework MOST nights. It’s super important it’s completed and on time as we correct it as a class at the beginning of each math class.
They generally do not have math homework on days when we have assessments.
Parents/adults need to sign off on homework below the student’s name, so that I know that parents/adults are helping and/or holding students accountable when it comes to the math homework.
Math homework is corrected at the beginning of almost every math class so students can learn from mistakes immediately which is why turning math in on time is so important.
Into Math Resources for PARENTS (and Students):
Have your student take you into their online “Into Math.”
Click “Discover” in the top middle of the screen.
In the bottom left, click “Family Resources.”
Students and parents can use other areas of online “Into Math” as resources to learn math more deeply.
Grading/Assessments:
Students are MAINLY graded from the module tests that are given at the end of each of the 16 modules. They are also graded on Check Understandings and math homework that are a part of every lesson.
Attendance:
Students should do their best to attend school every day for their obvious benefit. For more attendance information, please refer to the student handbook (hsbschools.org). If students are absent, they must come to me and ask about what they missed while they were away. Whole class direct instruction and class discussions cannot be made up unfortunately.
i-Ready Math: When we can fit it in, we will use i-Ready Math which is an online program that provides personalized math instruction and assessments. It will help students improve their skills by organizing instruction to individual needs. Students will learn math in a blended learning environment where students will learn math both online and with their teacher.
