Join us for Back to School Night with Mr. Parnell, Team Venture’s 6th Grade Math teacher in Room 109. This year, students will explore essential math topics, including factors, decimals, fractions, statistics, and geometry, among others. The grading policy is as follows: 70% for assessments (tests, quizzes, projects), 20% for homework, and 10% for class performance. We’ll also provide insights into homework expectations and the importance of mastering basic math facts. Let’s work together for a successful year!

Welcome to Back to School Night! • Mr. Parnell – Team Venture – 6th Grade Math • Room 109
This year Students will learn: • Factors and multiples • Operations with decimals, fractions, and integers • Expressions and equations • Statistics • Geometry • Variables and Patterns • Ratio and proportional relationships
Grading Policy • Assessment (Tests/Quizzes/Projects) – 70% • 1 test = 2 quizzes Homework – 20% • Class Performance – 10% • Effort • Compliance • Behavior • Cooperation • Participation
5th & 6th Grade Grading Comparison • 5th Grade • 50% - Assessments • 20% - Homework • 20% - Classwork • 10% - Effort • 6th Grade • 70% - Assessments • 20% - Homework • 10% - Class Performance
5th & 6th Grade Grading Comparison • Example: Suppose a student performed exactly the same in 5th and 6th grade. Let’s see how the grade weighting affects the students average! 5th Grade: Homework: 100% Classwork: 100% Effort: 100% Test Grades: 86 78 91 64 Test Average of 79.75 5th Grade Final Avg: 100 x .20 = 20 100 x .20 = 20 100 x .10 = 10 79.75 x .50 = 39.875 Final Grade: 89.825 or 90% 6th Grade: Homework: 100% Class Performance: 100% Test Grades: 86 78 91 64 Test Average of 79.75 6th Grade Final Avg: 100 x .20 = 20 100 x .10 = 10 79.75 x .70 = 55.825 Final Grade: 85.825 or 86%
HOMEWORK • GENERAL MATH GRADING RUBRIC • 3 Point Response • - shows allcomplete work (graphs, calculations, tables, pictures…) • - answers ALL parts of the question(s) • 2 Point Response • - shows partial work of the problem(s) • - answers most parts of the question(s) • 1 Point Response • - shows limited to almost no work of the problem(s) • 0 Point Response • - shows no work or effort • Students will earn a 0 for any work that is not turned in on time, with no exceptions.
Computation Computation Homework/Computation Quizzes • 2 problems a night except on Friday when the question is open ended • Use 4-square on the open-ended question • Will not be announced each day – students need to just know that they are part of the homework • Computation quiz about every two weeks – will not be announced
Basic Facts Please help your child become familiar with their basic facts: + - x ÷ Calculators will NOT be permitted
