- 30% Formative Assessment:

- Classwork
- Delta Math Assignments
- Team Tests
Homework
- Homework will be assigned daily and is designed to help students master concepts and prepare for tests.
- All homework assignments will be collected and should be completed to ensure understanding of concepts. Homework not completed will be assigned an “M” (missing/0 points) in the gradebook.
- Homework assignments will be graded for a combination of completion and accuracy. Be prepared!
- While collaboration on homework is encouraged, it is expected that the work you turn in represents your understanding of the concepts. In other words, it is permissible for someone to explain how to get an answer, but the answers you submit must be in your own writing and own words. In regards to calculations, it is expected that you understand the work you submit.
Quizzes and Tests
- As previously mentioned, quizzes are formative, meaning that they are given to help you learn the material. They will be given often, vary in size, and have low point values.
- Quizzes and tests are not graded on a curve.
- Tests will cover material from more than one chapter in the textbook.
- Students should use the online textbook, class guided notes, homework problems, and worksheets to prepare for quizzes and tests.
- Students are urged to get help and ask questions when needed, however, questions will not be addressed in class on test day.
- Each test will be accompanied by a practice test that mirrors the actual exam. Due to this, there will be no re-tests.
Due Dates/Absences/Late Work
- Look for assignments in a few places:
- Posted Daily in Class
- Google Classroom
- Google Calendar (found on the HHS webpage under teacher directory)
- It is the students’ responsibility to check the website so they know what was covered in class on the days they were absent. It is extremely important to stay current, as we will be covering new material nearly every class period. Please remember, you may receive help while absent by emailing your questions to your teacher or referring to the homework help on the CPM site. When emailing your teacher a question, it is often best to take a photo of your work and email that along with your question so the teacher can provide specific feedback on your progress and provide help in the areas that are difficult.
- All work is due on the assigned due date. Any late assignments will be docked 20% of the grade.
