Students start each quarter with 100% for homework, points are subtracted, grade weighted mid- and end-marking period.

Homework cont'd
Homework will be checked everyday and questions answered
Homework is approximately 10% of marking period grade
Homework quizzes may be given
Homework grade will be updated in power school every few days
Accurate homework completion is key to your child's success in this class
![Page 6: Welcome to Algebra 1. Project Connect Themes: Similarities and differences Change and adaptation Ethics GL goes green, ethics, aesthetics, school pride](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f4f5503460f94c71034/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Tests and QuizzesTests are counted twice, quizzes once
All grades are percents even though each test or quiz is not out of 100 points
Usually 1 or 2 quizzes and 1 test per chapter
Sheet in notebook on ways to study
All tests/quizzes may contain material previously learned
Due to the elimination of midterms, I may be giving a quarterly exam at the end of each marking period

Report CardGrade
Based on tests, quizzes, and homework
Occasionally there will be graded assignments or projects
Please check Power School frequently
Grades will not be rounded each marking period
Grades will be rounded at the end of the year when calculating the final course grade

Helpful Websites for Algebra 1
My website has a list of sites to help with algebra (access from bhspnj.org)
www.connected.mcgraw-hill.com: Video tutorials, practice quizzes, tests
There are also MANY free apps to help with any math topic. We will use Khan Academy frequently
![Page 10: Welcome to Algebra 1. Project Connect Themes: Similarities and differences Change and adaptation Ethics GL goes green, ethics, aesthetics, school pride](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f4f5503460f94c71034/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Absence
Work needs to be made up in a timely manner for credit and to help with understanding the following lessons
Missed assignments can be found on the Classroom stream
Missed lessons can be found in the textbook and on the textbook websites
![Page 11: Welcome to Algebra 1. Project Connect Themes: Similarities and differences Change and adaptation Ethics GL goes green, ethics, aesthetics, school pride](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f4f5503460f94c71034/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
iPads
Students are expected to have their iPads in class and charged every day
While in class, students are expected to only use iPads for math work (online text, checking blog, math apps, class investigations)
Taking notes and doing homework on the iPad are not recommended in my math classes
![Page 12: Welcome to Algebra 1. Project Connect Themes: Similarities and differences Change and adaptation Ethics GL goes green, ethics, aesthetics, school pride](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f4f5503460f94c71034/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Calculators
Calculators will be used in Algebra 1 after the first quiz
We will use TI-84
Students are NOT required to bring a calculator
If students bring calculators, they should be labeled
A recommended calculator to take the student through senior year and standardized tests is TI-84...Ebay, Walmart, Staples, Target...
