GRADING HOMEWORK AND CORRECTIONS
GRADING
Grades are determined by tests, quizzes, notes, homework, corrections, notebook, and projects. Mathematics is a demanding course and requires homework each night. Often you will be given some time at the end of the class period to work in groups on that day’s lesson. What you do not finish in class does become your homework. Before scan test dates each student will be given a deadline for when a group of objectives must be completed. It is each student’s responsibility to make sure that scan work is completed before the deadline or it will result in a deduction from their grade for that section.
ELEPHANT QUIZZES
Once a week you will be given an Elephant Quiz. This is all the important facts that we do not want you to forget in mathematics. These questions are given to you in advance so that you can study the questions and commit the answers to memory. The deck of questions will be shuffled on your Quiz day and 25 cards will be randomly selected for your quiz.
INTERVENTION OR EXTRA HELP
If you are struggling with a topic, get behind in your work, or just plain need some extra help with your math work, it is each student’s responsibility to seek help with their teacher before school, at lunch, or after school. We are available and want to help all students succeed. Extra tutoring is also available on Saturday at the high school from 8:00 am till 1:00 pm in Mrs. Swiger’s classroom room 15. Please check the Friday Flyer for her Saturday School Schedule.
ABSENCE AND MISSED CLASSES
If a student misses class due to illness or other circumstances it is each student’s responsibility to get the notes and the assigned work that was completed during their absence. The student must see their teacher or designated spot in the classroom. If a test or quiz is taken during the student’s absence it must be made up the day they return. If it is not made up in a timely fashion then a grade deduction will be given.

- Have homework ready and scan card filled out before class starts.
- Follow all directions given the first time.
- Work until the bell rings.
- Use of downloaded apps to complete assigned work,test,or quizzes is consistent with cheating. Anyone caught using one of these apps will receive a zero on the assignment and a behavior referral.

- ALL WORK MUST BE DONE IN PENCIL.

- Work on notebook paper must be numbered and organized, circle your answer
- Homework must be put into your three-ring binder with the scanwork assignment or homework section and not kept loose in your book or a folder.
GRADING HOMEWORK AND CORRECTIONS
- Any problem that is wrong must be corrected, with all the work shown for how to get the correct answer. The correction will be shown on the notebook paper for your bookwork and/or on the TOPS report for Accelerated Math homework (scan homework). Corrections can be copied directly from the SmartBoard, done yourself, work with another student, or see your teacher one-on-one, and all work must be shown on corrections. The Corrections must be completed and approved by the teacher before the next assignment can be scanned.
- All non-scan homework must be graded in a different color. No highlighters. Write the correct answer next to any problem that is wrong and show the correction for each problem missed.
- It is each student’s responsibility to get incorrect problems corrected. I encourage students to ask questions during class. I will take the time to show any correction any student needs on the board. But they must first ask the question!! You will lose points for any assignment not fully corrected!
