Grade Break-Down
Grades will be on a standards based grading system. Homework,
in class work, entry tasks, participation and Standards for Mathematical
Practice will be worth 25% of your overall grade. The rest (75%) will be based
off of scores on standards from tests and quizzes.
Homework/In Class
Work Policy
Homework and in class work will be assigned and collected as
needed. I will accept late work for 50% credit up until the test for that unit.
Once the test is over, then no more homework will be accepted for that unit.
Homework and in class work will be graded on completion not
correctness on a scaled of 1 – 4. So please attempt all of the problems that
are assigned. Full credit will be given to students who complete the required
problems and show their work for each one.
Quizzes and Tests
Quizzes and tests will be graded on a scale of 1 – 4 for
each standard that is tested on that particular assessment. The grade breakdown
is listed above. If you improve on the final assessment on a standard, the
score will replace. If you do worse, the grade will be averaged. Standards
overall will make up 75% of your grade. You can retake standard scores lower
than a 3.3, which is a B (83%) and you can earn up to a 3.3.
Supplies
For this class you will need a pencil or a pen (preferably a
pencil) every day. You will also need a spiral notebook for notes, and a folder
to keep completed work in.
Textbook and Online
Resources
We will have a class blog that can be found at
mathwithforsyth.blogspot.com. We will also be using Twitter in class. Please
follow me @ms_forsyth. I will post updates and other information on the blog
and twitter using class specific hashtags (#Algebra2RHS or #b2cRHS). The text
we will be using will also have an online resource. I will provide you with a
