Welcome to Mr. Duraj’s Math Class 2013-2014 School Year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssqXGAIheSU
Who Am I?? • This is my 6th year of teaching • This is my 3rd year at Mayfield Middle School, 2nd teaching 8th grade • I am the Varsity Boys Basketball Assistant Coach • I have both my Bachelor’s and Masters degrees from Cleveland State University in Middle Childhood Mathematics and Elementary Mathematics, respectively • When I am not studying math…..I love staying active and participating in sports. I have ran 5 Warrior Dashes and 1 Tough Mudder. I love basketball, softball, and golf
What do I need to bring everyday? • Math binder -This will contain your notes, classwork, practice, checkpoints, and summative assessments • Your folder -This will stay in the room and keep any classwork/notes BEFORE it gets transferred to your binder (weekly) -This will also be where your weekly progress sheet will be. (I’ll explain later) • A Pencil (sounds silly doesn’t it?) • Your calculator
Rules/Student Responsibilities 1. Be on time!!! -Three tardies per quarter=lunch detention (you don’t want these) 2. Be prepared -Once you enter my room, you should NOT have to run back out to your locker (know what you need!) 3. Be respectful -Whether it is me, your classmates, or another speaker, do not speak unless you’re called on and show full attention • I dismiss you -I may have important information to get out before you leave, so even if kids are lined up at the door…you stay
A trip around the room…. “Where do I turn in notes for the office?” -The “Homeroom” tray on my desk “Where do I hand in practice or late work?” -The “Grade Me Please” tray on my desk “Mr. D, I was absent, what did I miss?” -Ask a partner at your table, I will be more then happy to provide you with the work located next to the golf poster
Con’t “I need a calculator” • You should all have a TI=30X calculator from the previous school years, I do have some to use during class located on your table. These DO NOT leave the room. “I need to sharpen my pencil” - Please wait until no one is speaking to sharpen your pencil. There is a manual one located by Arnold Schwarzenegger and an electric one on the extra supplies table. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZaxIp5Icjk
Yup…more questions “Where is the practice written for each day?” -On the back board, you will see the practice for each day “What is my learning goal/big idea for each lesson?” -It is also written on the back board next to your assignments (these should be written down on your progress sheet every day)
What can I expect in math this year? • You will have the opportunity to use the Inspire calculators located on the side of the room. • You will be challenged to think critically and work with your classmates to make “quantum leaps” and achieve “Ahhh Ha!” moments all year • You will be tracking your progress weekly through folder communication so both you and I know where you stand in your mathematical learning • You will have fun in math (sounds weird doesn’t it?)
Get ready to have a great school year!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMtkiS1SU_c
