These classes will study the basic math principles of the grade 7 and grade 8 curricula, respectively. We will utilize the text Exploring Mathematics as well as other supplementary materials. Frequently, the last ten minutes of class will be devoted to beginning that night s homework assignment. Occasionally, students may complete the homework before class ends and consequently have no homework that night.
Homework is announced orally and is written on the white board in class.
Everyone is given time to and is strongly encouraged to write the homework in the planner daily. Students on signed homework monitor write their assignments and the instructional aide will initial. The parent then initials the same box after the student shows his parent the completed assignment filed in the appropriate folder ready to be turned in. It is the students responsibility to make up and turn in all missing assignments following absences. Check minus work indicates the student has not demonstrated an acceptable level of mastery and should be re-done.
