Mr. Clee's Math Classroom PolicyClick on a link to go directly to a policy section.
In addition to all Parkland policies and Voyager team policies, there are two basic rules that all students will follow in math class this year. 1. Be Respectful
2. Be Responsible
All students must have a notebook in which to take class notes and keep handouts. It is your responsibility to keep your notebook neat and organized. Notebooks may be checked and graded at any time during the rating period. A calculator would be helpful also, although you can borrow one of mine during class. If you are looking to buy a new one, any calculator with a fraction key will be fine. You will not need an expensive graphing calculator. On most nights, you will have homework. However, you will often have class time in which to begin your assignment. Any time remaining at the end of class is to be spent doing math. Only after all math homework is completed may you do other work. Homework will be randomly checked throughout each marking period. In addition, homework quizzes may also be given. Late work will not be accepted. Homework will always be reviewed in class, usually the day after it is assigned. This will allow you to correct any problems or work that you may have done incorrectly. If you have questions on your homework, please ask! A homework assignment is not a test and will not be graded as one. I will not grade your homework on whether or not it is correct or incorrect. Often your homework will consist of material that is new to you – I expect you to make errors. No one is perfect. You will learn through your mistakes as long as you work to correct them. I am looking for the following when grading your homework:
Relax. I need to know that you are learning the material that I am teaching. The unannounced quizzes will be very short – usually one question. On the quiz I will ask you to complete a problem or simply to copy something out of your notes. Keeping up with your homework assignments and taking good notes in class will result in excellent grades on the quizzes. Grades will be determined through a combination of tests, quizzes, and homework.
Your letter grade will be calculated on strict percentages according to Parkland School District policy. It is advised that you keep track of your grades throughout the rating period. You may not go to the lavatory because you are bored. Restroom visits should occur only during times when I am not directly teaching. During these times, ask permission to go if you must. Permission will be granted unless it is abused (going every day, coordinated visits with friends, etc.) Your class website is www.mrclee.com. It is my hope that the site will serve as an invaluable resource for you in your study of math this year. From the site, you will be able to find class calendars, homework assignments due, unit schedules, printable worksheets and textbook pages, test study guides, class lesson notes, fully-worked homework solutions, test review games, and more. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check the website to discover missed assignments and download missed class notes. I will always come to class prepared to teach. I expect that you will always come to class prepared to learn. My expectations and standards are high in order to give you the best math class possible. Work hard and have a great year! |
