Math 7 Course Syllabus Mrs.

Kenobbie Hillcrest Middle School


Instructor: Mrs. Kenobbie Phone: 623-376-3361 E-mail: [email protected] Homework website: http://mrskenobbie.weebly.com/ Textbook: Math Connects, Course 2 (Glencoe) Objectives: Students will solve problems in the areas of Ratios and Proportional Reasoning, the Number
System, Expressions and Equations, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Problem solving skills and math vocabulary will be used in all areas. All instruction will be based on Common Core State Standards which are accessible at www.azed.gov/standards-practices/. Each day will begin with a review of the previous days materials and other review material that is required for the current days lesson. The teacher will monitor and adjust the length of each lesson based on the overall understanding demonstrated by the students.

Suggested Supplies: One 3-ring binder, 1 size, with lined notebook paper and dividers, several pencils, lead
(if using mechanical pencils), a red pen for grading, whiteboard Expo marker
Arizona law requires that public schools provide supplies required for academic success. This list represents optional, supplementary items which you may supply at your discretion. If you have questions, feel free to contact the school.

Grading Policy: Grades will be weighted as follows:


Assessments = 70% Quizzes = 20% Assignments = 10% Students will receive the following grades based on the percentage earned: A = 90% - 100% B = 80% - 89% C = 70% - 79% D = 60% - 69% F = 0% - 59% Cheating of any kind will result in a zero for that quiz or assessment. Students will take an assessment at the end of each unit. Students will not be allowed to use notes or assignments on assessments.

Assignments: Assignments will be given on a regular basis. If work time is provided in class, students are
expected to use that time to work on the assignment. Students are also expected to complete work in pencil, complete all assigned problems, and show all work as demonstrated in class. Students will work with their partners/team members on assignments to ensure understanding and accuracy of work. Students will be able to use completed assignments on quizzes. Quizzes: Quizzes will be given periodically during a unit to check for understanding. Students may use all notes and assignments as a resource on the quiz.

Retake Policy: Students will be given one opportunity to retake each quiz/assessment, provided they made a
valid attempt on the original assessment. In order to retake a test, the student must correct each problem missed on the test and complete a Retake Form. The Retake Form must be signed by a Hillcrest math teacher who helped the student or by the parent verifying that the student did extra practice at home to prepare for the retake. Only those sections missed on the original test will be completed on the retest. The deadline for retakes will be 2 weeks after the original assessment is returned. Retake deadlines will be posted on my website and in the classroom. I am available for extra assistance by appointment before and after school.

Classroom Expectations: 6 Ps for Success


1. Prompt Be on time for class every day. Your learning begins as soon as you enter the room 2. Prepared Come prepared to class every day. Bring all materials necessary for class. 3. Participate Offer ideas, ask questions, and get involved in the days lesson. 4. Produce: Do the work. Turn in all of your assignments. 5. Polite Raise your hand and wait your turn when you need to speak. Listen when others are speaking. 6. Positive Mental Attitude Remember, learning any new thing can be difficult at first but keep trying and you will see results.

The HMS School-Wide Prevention Program RTI - B: RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION BEHAVIOR The Response To Intervention Behavior process is a multi-tiered approach to providing support to all learners at increasing levels of interventions. Hillcrest will use a school wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behavior to create a positive school environment. PROGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS The following discipline procedures will be implemented consistently across campus. Step 1: Redirection Step 2: Minor Incident Report with Interventions Step 3: Minor Incident Report with Interventions and Parent Contact Step 4: Minor Incident Report with Interventions and Parent Phone Call Step 5: Major Behavior Referral Consequences for inappropriate behavior will be given according to the DVUSD discipline guidelines as outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibility (SRR) Handbook. Make-up Work and Extra Credit: It is the students responsibility to make up all work missed due to an
absence. This includes getting the notes from another student and completing assignments missed. Assignments are listed on my website at http://mrskenobbie.weebly.com/. **No extra credit will be given at any time during the year.**

Tardies: A student is considered tardy if he/she is not in his/her seat when the bell rings. Students who are
tardy will go immediately to Sweep in the ISS room (C-1) and will stay in ISS for the remainder of the class period unless requested to return to class by the teacher. Students in Sweep are responsible for completing all work assigned during the class period.

Textbook: Students can choose to be issued a textbook or to access the textbook online. Directions for
accessing the textbook online can be found on my website. (http://mrskenobbie.weebly.com/) A classroom set of texts will be available in class so that students do not have to carry the textbook with them each day.

Procedures:
When you arrive at the classroom, line up outside the door against the wall and wait for me to let the class in. When the bell rings, you must be in your seat. Begin the Warm Up on the white board. Work at your table on any homework problems you had trouble with. Students may get a tissue, throw away trash, or sharpen a pencil at any time that I am not teaching. Do not get out of your seat at any time that I am talking to the class. I will dismiss the class at the end of the period. The bell signals that class is over, but does not mean that students are excused to leave the room.
