Supplies and Assessment
6th grade math
Required Supplies:
Each day you must have the following items in front of you at the bell:
- Math Textbook that will be handed out in class during the first week.
- Spiral Graph Paper Notebook which you will receive the first day of school. Math assignments are done in this with the appropriate heading at the top of each page. This heading includes your name and the assignment for the day.
- Pencils are used in class. ALWAYS have AT LEAST 2 pencils that are ready to use when the class begins.
- Completed homework is to be open on your table at the start of class.
- NO CALCULATOR is needed at school. I have class sets of calculators which we use as needed in lessons.
PLEASE FIND A QUIET PLACE AT HOME WHERE YOU CAN CONCENTRATE AND COMPLETE YOUR HOMEWORK WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS.
ASSESSMENTS:
Homework will be graded each day, and the score will be recorded. The average will be about 10% of the quarter grade.
Projects/ Activities will be a small portion of each quarter's grade.
Quizzes are given periodically to check on student mastery of skills in the chapter. The average will be about 10% of the quarter grade.
Tests are given at the completion of each chapter. It is normal to have about three tests each quarter. Most of the quarter grade is based on the performance on the chapter tests, as well as cumulative review tests.
All 6th graders take a final exam of the material they learned in the math class. Students are carefully guided in preparing for the exam.
