  2. About me… • 10th year of teaching (have taught all middle school grade levels) • 8th year in Millstone, spent 2 years teaching in the middle school I attended as a child (Linden, NJ) • Love math & teaching it • Excited to be a new mom & join your ranks, but sad to have to leave my students—your children.

  3. Course Description • This course prepares students for the NJASK, high school, and real-life.

  4. Daily Procedures • Do Now/Copy Today’s HW • Review last night’s HW • Lesson (CMP2 launch, explore, summarize) • CMP2 is Discovery-based Program (used in many districts in NJ) • Wrap up and make sure HW is understood. • New schedule—alternating 44/88 minute periods.

  5. Pearson: Connected Mathematics 2 • Parent Website: www.math.msu.edu/cmp/parentsPrentice Hall CMP2 Website: • www.phschool.com/cmp2 • Interactive Textbook: www.pearsonsuccessnet.com • - See registration information sheetor my website • CMP2 Student Website:http://www.phschool.com/atschool/cmp2/program_page.html • -For homework help, multiple choice skills practice, active online math, vocabulary quizzes • Calculators: TI-30X IIB

  6. Binders • Due to the nature of the program, binder organization is crucial. • I have suggested to your child organizing his/her binder using the following sections: • Important Information – parent letter, grade sheet, binder guidelines • Class work – Investigations, notes, examples • Homework – ACE questions or other assigned worksheets, Computation Skills Builder • Tests/Quizzes – keep all quizzes and tests until binder clean out (then transfer to a folder at home)

  7. Grades • HW/CW/Preparedness–20% • HW is assigned most nights. • NO WORK = NO CREDIT • HW is posted on board and on my website. • Planner, Binder, Pencils should be brought to class daily. Planner is also used for as a bathroom pass/log • Homework scores start at 100. Five points are deducted for missing HW assignments, 1 point is deducted for each time a student is unprepared for class. • Tests/Quizzes/Projects – 80% • Each assessment will be worth a different point value that is standard throughout the department/grade level. • Tests will be weighted heavier than quizzes. • Extra Credit (only included on tests/quizzes) • No signatures necessary—online access to all grades

  8. PowerSchool • I will no longer be using grade sheets or having tests signed!  • You can update yourself about your child’s progress by logging on to PowerSchool.  • Please allow me adequate time to grade your child’s work—I do give partial credit and grade work shown, so grading tests can be somewhat time consuming, but it is in the best interest of your child.  • I will do my best to update and publish grades as soon as assignments are corrected. HW will be updated weekly.

  9. Extra Help – “LEHP”Advanced: TuesdayRegular: FridayBring bag lunch to maximize help time Homework It’s all about practice & trying!
