It will be posted on the board with the daily

agenda It will be on the syllabus that I give you at the

beginning of the chapter ( but that may change )

It will be posted on the Homework Calendar on my web page on the day it is assigned

How will we know what our homework

is?

I will stand at the front of the room with my hand up

I expect you to quiet down immediately

When I need your attention

Enter quietly Turn off and put away all electronic devices Sit down and get out you math materials. Put everything else away Look over the agenda Begin the bell assignment

Entering the Room

If you have been absent

Check the “While you were out” folder on the

bulletin board Turn in any make up work at the beginning of

class. Write “ Absent “ on the top of the page so that you will be given full credit.

Schedule missed quizzes and tests with me immediately. ( If they were assigned before your absence , be prepared to take them )

Class dismissal is by the teacher, not the bell Do not pack up prior to the bell You will be dismissed when I have checked to

be sure that all of the calculators and supplies have been returned properly and that you have picked up all of your belongings

Go out to the right, down the stairs and

outside. Once you all leave I will lock the door so that

you do not need to worry about taking any of your belongings with you

Gather together back by the fence. I will be looking for you to take attendance

outside.

As soon as the Intercom comes on, stop talking immediately.

Intercom Announcements…..

Where can I get some help ?

Math Lab is open after SSR during every study

hall There is a math teacher there to help you. You can get help with math questions. You can do your homework there in case you

run into problems You can help other math students You can work cooperatively just like in class You cannot be on your phone or listening to

music, just like in class.

Math Lab room 206

Show respect

Get ready to answer

If someone is asking a question

Working Cooperatively

Everyone should be working on the same

question Each person should understand before moving

on. Praise should be generous for good work

“awesome job” “ you are a math beast” “ thank you for your help, Mrs. Roeser didn’t make any sense to me”

Everyone benefits when this happens!

Working Cooperatively

This is a time when you work by yourself

We will all work very quietly so that everyone can concentrate

Independent Work

Groups are changed often and randomly

When we change groups it gives you a chance to :

1) work with someone new2) sometimes meet somebody new3) sometimes work with somebody you

didn’t think you got along with

Do We Get to Pick Our Partners ?

I don’t feel good

If you need to go to the Clinic, I will give you a

pass.

If you can’t wait for a pass from me, just go and tell me you are headed to the Clinic. I will email her and tell her you have an ‘email pass’ to the Clinic.

In either case, get a pass from the Clinic when you leave.

I don’t feel good

If I see your phone or any other electronic device,

I will be taking it.

Zero Tolerance for Electronics

There is a current syllabus for each chapter

(sometimes the hard copy I give you at the beginning of the chapter must be adjusted) .

There is Extra Practice with Answers for each section

There is a Homework Calendar with daily assignments posted ( on the day assigned )

Check out my web page

No passes are given within 20 minutes of the

bell.

You must have your agenda, signed by me, to go anywhere.

Leaving the room

I am looking forward to a great year with you.
