Welcome to 6th Grade Math!! J
Every student will be
proficient or advanced on the Math STAR test this school year. Failure is NOT
an option.
…And we'll even have some fun while we're at
it! J
The
6th grade mathematics program will include the development of
logical reasoning skills, effective communications skills, and real-life
problem solving. The students will build
on prior mathematical knowledge through increasingly challenging situations.
The content will also include a strong introduction to the fundamental concepts
of algebra and geometry. Calculators
will be used when appropriate.
The
course content will include: algebraic reasoning, integers, number theory and fractions,
operations with rational numbers, proportional relationships, percents,
collecting and analyzing data, probability, geometric figures, measurement and
geometry, and multi-step equations and inequalities.
Students
are expected to have the following items daily:
1.
Backpack/book
bag
2.
Binder
(or a labeled section of a large binder for Math- this binder will be checked often
to ensure proper note-taking is occurring)
3.

Daily Assignments/Homework are assigned daily to
reinforce skills learned in class and is due the following day. It prepares students for upcoming lessons,
teaches responsibility, and helps students develop positive study habits. Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday during a
regular school week. I expect students to do their personal best on each
assignment. Homework should not take
more than 45 minutes to complete and should be ready to turn in the following
day for full credit. Homework must
always be done in PENCIL.
Students MUST SHOW THEIR WORK, or they will not get full credit. ***Homework
Club is offered every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-4pm in my
classroom for all 6th grade students!
It is the student's responsibility to record daily
assignments in their Student Planner each
day as a procedure while in class.
The Planner should be checked daily by the parent to make sure your
child is being responsible and staying organized. The Planner allows you to stay informed of
your child's tasks that need to be completed and it can also be used a
communicative tool from parent to teacher or vice versa. If your child does not do their homework,
they will write, "I did not do my homework last night" in red pen inside their
planner.
Absences
may occur. (Please refer to the student handbook regarding the district
tardy/absence policy). If the absence is
excused, students will have as many days to make-up the work as the number of
days they missed. If this period is more
than three days, parents need to contact the office for information on school
policy. If the students has an unexcused
absence, it may be necessary for them to do their make-up work during their
free time (break time, lunch) until the work is completed. I will accept late work under the
following conditions:
1.
1
School day late = ½ credit
2.
After
1 School day= No credit
Parents
and students can stay informed of their grades by checking the assignments and
grades online and by viewing the district progress reports and report cards.
A+= 100% A=99-93% A-=92-90%
B+=89-88% B=87-83% B-=82-80%
C+=79-78% C=77-73% C-=72-70%
D+=69-68% D=67-63% D-=62-60%
F=59-0%
To
guarantee every student in my classroom the excellent learning climate he/she
deserves, it is necessary to have classroom rules/expectations. I believe that all students can and should
behave appropriately in our classroom. I
will tolerate no student preventing me from teaching and/or another student
from learning. Students
will:
Positive
Consequences include, but are not limited to: intrinsic rewards, classroom
freedoms, first in line, classroom helper, class points, phone call/note home,
etc.
Negative
Consequences include, but are not limited to: warning, removal from classroom
for a timeout in another teacher's classroom, phone call/note home, detention,
referral to administration, etc.
I believe it is important that parents,
students, and teachers work together.
Therefore, I encourage open communication. If at any time you have questions, feel free
to call, email, or send me a quick note.
(Email is the best way to get in touch with me. It allows me to respond quicker). In any situation, I will do my very best to
get back with you within 24 hours.
