What will you be doing this year? • Learning about Math through: • Experiments • Discussion • Questions • Reflection • Problem Solving
New Standards • Common Core • Math Practice Standards • DISCUSSION/COLLABORATION • Student Centered • Growth/Fixed Mindset
This means… • I will not just tell you had to do the math. • You will need to TRY, TRY, and TRY again. • You will need to not give up. • You will need to THINK.
This means… • You will need to COLLABORATE kindly with others (social contract). • Volume control. • Leave social talk for lunch. • Collaborative Time, Solo Time, Teacher Time • You will be speaking in front of others about the math you are doing.
This means… • Always, always, always SHOW YOUR THINKING. • No thinking = no full credit.
This means… • You will need to treat supplies with care. • You will be conducting experiments in math. • No horseplay. • FOLLOW directions.
What will you need for this class? • Spiral Notebook (Portfolio) – A MUST! • Pencils – A MUST! • 1” Binder • Expo Markers (No Yellow or Red) • A positive attitude
Clean-up 1) Clean up your materials. 2) Pack up your bag. 3) Sit in your chair and WAIT to be dismissed.

Warm-up 8/12 Write in your planner! On your scratch paper, write down everything you remember from the presentation from yesterday! *BE READY TO SHARE OUT*
What do you Remember? • What does PSI mean? • What is my classroom motto? • What is one of the Math Practice Standards? • What is the difference between collaboration time, teacher time, and solo time? • What do you do if you need to use the restroom? • How will I get your attention? • What kind of voices do we use in here? • What do you need to bring to me when you go to the restroom/water? • What items need to come to class EVERYDAY? • What does “persevere” in mathematics mean?
How will you be graded? • Tests 35% • Tests at the end of each unit • Quizzes 20% • At the end of each investigation • Projects 10% • At the end of each investigation • Homework 10% • Homework due on time • ZAP! • Participation 25% • Collaboration • Portfolio Checks • Working during class time • NO EXTRA CREDIT WILL BE OFFERED AT THE END OF TRIMESTER!
Assessments (65%) • HUGE part of your grade. • Get help when needed BEFORE the assessments. • No re-takes on any assessment, so come prepared! • STUDY and PRACTICE before a test/quiz.
Home Learning (10%) • Home Learning is assigned most nights. • What is the point of HL? • PRACTICE for assessments. • I check home learning for effort and completion. It is up to you to check your work and get help when needed. • Home Learning Check System: • Line by wall = have the HL. Have HL out! • Line by the grass = no HL. Have planner out! ZAP! • Grade HL when you come in and record in portfolio.
ZAP Procedures • A circle in your planner means you need to report to ZAP the next week. • I will unzap on MONDAYS after school and WEDNESDAYS before school. • CHECK YOUR PLANNER to see if you are zapped. No excuses!
Home Learning Reflections • After writing in the planner, you need to grade your home learning. • Star correct problems and put a X on incorrect problems. • REMEMBER – if you are MISSING many problems, it is time for EXTRA HELP. • DONE EARLY? You will be working on unit mathematical reflections.
Where do you find the homework? • Posted on the white board. • MUST write in planner each day.

What happens if you are absent? • You are still responsible to make up the class investigations and any missing assignments. • CHECK THE ABSENT WALL TO SEE WHAT YOU MISSED! • Absences = missing out on class collaboration. Please be here.
Rewards/Consequences • CONSEQUENCES – one for EVERY action. • Consequences for negative actions: • Warning • Detention • Parent Phone Call • Referral/Time-out Determined by Behavior
Citations • Tardies • Dress Code • Cell Phones • Gum • Food • This is a learning environment, so I expect professional language. Profanity will result in a language essay. Second offense = detentions.
