Math Syllabus: Week of August 31

1st and 3rd Period Math
Important Information:
o A weekly math syllabus will go home at the beginning of each week throughout the school year. You may also access the syllabus by going to my website listed above.
o All students should have a binder with dividers strictly for math. We organized our binders in class on Friday. If you do not have a binder, you must see me. You need to bring this binder to class EVERYDAY.
o Students will be taking the end of the year course one test so I can be sure they were placed in the proper math level.
o Students will also take a chapter pre-assessment prior to the start of each chapter to determine the level of differentiation they will need. Students who show mastery on the chapter pre-assessments will be provided with alternate enrichment work to enhance and expand their understanding of the mathematical concepts.
