  8. Homework • Homework is an important piece of learning that enables you to practice the lesson and learn from your mistakes. It is not issued to just consume your time. No effort on homework assignments is NOT acceptable! If you don’t have a graded homework assignment, spend time reviewing past content, your math facts or vocabulary words. • All graded homework should include: • Your FULL name, the date, block and assignment (page and problems) at the top of the page (unless it’s a worksheet) • The problems that were assigned (unless it’s a worksheet, word problem or has tables/charts). • An attemptto complete all of the problems like they were solved in class. No shortcuts – Show all work!

  9. Homework • If homework is due, after you get situated, place your homework on the side of your desk to be checked. Then, proceed with working on the Do Now. • You homework will be graded using the following scale: • 5 - 100% complete, done as expected with all work shown and on-time • 4 – Some minor slip ups (some problems incomplete/some work not shown) • 3 – Many slip-ups • 2.5 – Roughly ½ complete and/or very late • 0 – not completed • You will lose 0.5 points for each day that your homework is late.

  10. IMS’ Grading Policy • Minor Assignments will count for two-thirds (2/3) and major assessments will count as one-third (1/3) of a student’s grade. • All submitted student work will receive a minimum score of 50, unless determined by the teacher that little or no effort was made by the student, in which case a lower numerical mark may be given and recorded. If work is not submitted then a 0 will be given. • Plagiarism – Any work that is plagiarized will result in a grade of 0. The first offense will result in a meeting with guidance and parents/guardians will be notified. The plagiarized assignment will have to be done but the highest grade that can be earned is a 74. Future plagiarism offenses will result in a meeting with parents/guardians and the student will earn a 0 for the assignment. • Any situation that involves cheating will result in a 0 for that assignment.
