The Main Assessment Anchors (Approximately Ten Points for Each) 

The Khan Academy is a free website that includes instruction and guided practice.  To save  progress and document your work for class credit, students must log on.  Instead of creating an account, students may log in by linking their facebook accounts or google accounts.  

The Khan Academy has many, many topics in algebra and other areas of mathematics, science, etc. The practice sections relevant to the Keystone Algebra 1 test in the Khan Academy LEARN center are organized below.  Each link contains interactive practice, hints, worked out solutions and links to video instruction if needed (The video links are on the lower right hand side of the page.)  

 After logging in, select an assessment area that needs improvement.  Use the links on this page to select the practice.  When moving to a new topic, return to this page to pick the next practice area.

Module 1

1.1 Operations
(Please note.  Module 1.1 Operations contains the greatest number of topics to master but is not weighted more heavily than the other assessment areas.  For this reason, it makes sense to focus on 1.1 AFTER remediating the other five assessment anchors first.)

2015-2016 CLASSROOM PROCEDURES AND GRADING POLICY

The following procedures and guidelines will serve as a guide for you responsibilities for the 2015-2016 school year.

1.) All students are expected to bring a pencil/pen, notebook, and calculator to class everyday.  Students should only be signing out to the bathroom last five minutes of class. It is the responsibility of the student to get anything they have missed while out of the room.

 

2.) Tests- Students are expected to take all tests on the assigned day unless prior arrangements have been made.  All tests will be announced ahead of time.  There will be several tests each marking period.  The tests will count as 50% of the student’s grade for the marking period. 

 

3.) Quizzes- Quizzes may be announced or may not be announced.  There will be several quizzes per chapter.  Quizzes will counts as 30% of each student’s grade for the marking period.   

 

4.) Homework/Participation-All homework assignments are to be completed to the best of your ability and will be checked daily by the teacher for completion.  Also, all students are expected to take part in each class’s activities and positively participate throughout the period.  Homework/Participation grade will be worth 20% of each student’s marking period grade.  Assignments completely done with required work shown will be worth 5 points, anything less will result in a grade of zero.  NO PARTIAL CREDIT. If you disrupt the class or do not work to your potential, you will be given a zero for that day’s work.

 

5.) Lateness Policy­-Lateness will not be tolerated.  Any student late will be required to sign in the late book.  The first time late will be a warning for the student.  The second time late will result in a teacher detention and the third time late will be a discipline referral.   

 

6.) Make-up work-It is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed work due to an absence.  If a student is absent one day they will have two days to make up there missed work (EX. If you are absent Monday you have until Thursday to give me the make up work).  If a student knows in advance that they will not be in class (EX. Field Trip, Sports, Driver’s ED etc.) they should let the teacher know and ask what they will be missing ahead of time. If a student is absent the day before a test or quiz (EX. Test/Quiz Review Day) they will still be responsible to take the test on the same day as the other students.  If a student is absent on the day of a test they will take the test the next day they are in school. 

 

7.) Cheating-Cheating will not be tolerated.  Procedures as outlined in the student handbook will be strictly enforced.  Any talking and/or sharing of calculators while taking a test or quiz is considered cheating and will result in a grade of zero for that assignment. Please remain quiet during the entire quiz or test.

 

8.) Calculators- Calculators are required for this course. Every calculator should have at least four functions (+, -, x, )Under no circumstance can a students use a cell phone, ipod, iphones, mp3 player etc. in the classroom. No Sharing Calulators! (See above).

 

9.) Extra Help-If a student is in need of extra help they are encouraged to contact Mr. McNally as soon as possible. Math builds upon itself and it is important that all concepts are understood and can be applied.  DO NOT WAIT until the problem gets big!!!  Also, you can contact either of us at: rmcnally@methacton.org  ext. 23123.

 

10.)                     No food or drink is permitted in this classroom.

When you enter the room please go right to your seat and get your homework out.

Please sharpen your pencil before I start class.

              Please raise your hand to ask or answer questions.

              Bring your calculator everyday.
