Welcome
MRS DILMORE AND MRS KECK CLASS
CLASSROOM PROCEDURES Our goal for this year is to help students realize through work and effort that they can be successful with learning Mathematics. We will be using current Grade level texts. There will be DAILY assignments and it is REALLY important that students stay on schedule. That way students will understand classroom activities and assignments each day. EXPECTATIONS * When the bell rings be in your seat prepared to begin class with the necessary materials and homework out ready to grade and discuss, OTHER WISE. you
will be considered TARDY. Start working on a warm-up assignment when posted in class. * Pay attention in class. Raise your hand to be called upon to ask questions or make a comment. Do not shout out answers or comments in class without being prompted. Take notes as needed and concentrate during explanations of math skills. Do not talk or cause any disruptions that detract from other student's learning. * Use class time wisely. Stay on task, whether in group work or individual work. Sleeping, head on desk, eating, chewing gum, or
drinks are not allowed. *Teacher to parent/guardian communications is by agenda book/email/phone calls * YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN LEARNING. * You will have homework each night. Always ask questions and get help on materials you do not understand. Don't wait until you feel overwhelmed. When you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to make up homework. It is really difficult to catch up once you are behind.

HOMEWORK: 1. Homework will be assigned almost every day and should be done in PENCIL only.
2. The following heading must be in the top right corner: First and Last Name Period # Date Assigned Page & Problem #'s (or worksheet title) 3. Homework assignments will be (a) given verbally, and (b) posted on the homework board by the end of the period. 4. Homework will be checked daily for completeness. CREDIT will be given 5. Late homework will not be accepted (unless an "excused" absence) for credit 6. It is each student's responsibility to find out what was missed when absent and to make up that work in the time allotted in the student handbook. Students who miss class due to a prearranged trip, field trip, meeting, etc. are required to get all assignments PRIOR to the missed class or, if they are on campus, are expected to come by to check the homework board in the classroom. While students with an excused absence are entitled to extra days to have missed assignments completed and checked, it is advisable to use whatever means possible when absent to avoid falling behind. This policy does not apply to long-term projects.
SUPPLIES: 1 Blue 3 ring binder Loose-leaf notebook paper (wide ruled is best). Pencils (#2 or mechanical ). All math work will be done in pencil ONLY. Red or Green pen or pencil (for daily corrections ONLY) Markers Graph Paper (5 minimum) Clear page protectors (top opening) Pencil Sharpener (1)calculator (basic 4 function, just like FCAT) Scientific graphing calculator may be used. ALSO, a one-time donation (if possible) would be wonderful: Box of tissues Paper towels
