Keystone Exam-Algebra I

Homework for all classes-week 1

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to post the assignments for next week, so that you are aware ahead of time what's to come. I am also including my homework policies so that you are aware of expectations.

Homework
In math, homework is typically given on a nightly basis. I post the homework for the week on the board in our classroom, and it is the students responsibility to copy it into their planners. I do NOT send out homework electronically. 

Each homework assignment is given so that students can practice skills learned in class, but also to reinforce previously learned concepts. Sometimes, there will be problems that are "preview" problems, that may prove to be a little more challenging to students. I encourage all students to persevere through all homework problems, but not to a point where it is occupying your whole night. Math homework should take 15-30 minutes a night. 

Students need to write down the problems when applicable and show ALL work. Calculators may be used, but students need to show the process as well. If students are only showing answers, without the process, homework will NOT be counted as complete. 

Students are expected to complete homework on a nightly basis. Each homework assignment is worth 2 points. After students have accumulated 5 homework assignments, I will post their scores out of 10 points. 

Everyday, after a homework assignment has been given, students will be provided with a copy of my completed homework assignment. As part of the day's warm up, students will check their answers with my, making corrections and additions using a colored pen. Students will be assessed on how well they are analyzing their homework by taking bi-weekly Homework Quizzes...more info to follow on that. 

Please use pencil. You will make mistakes. We all do and that is okay...more than okay. PENCIL, please. 

All Classes:

1. Signed Syllabus
Students are receiving a Syllabus in class. We will read through it as a class and they are being asked to bring it home, read it with a parent/guardian, and have it signed to be brought back. Students will keep the syllabus
Due: Friday September 6th

2. Mathography
 A mathography is a lot like your life history, except that it is focused on mathematics in your life. 

1. Write a letter about yourself to your teacher.  The letter will help your teacher get to know you as an individual.  The letter should talk about these three general topics: you, you as a student, and you as a math student.
   Remember to use complete sentences and make sure that it is neat enough for your teacher to read it easily.  Start the letter with “Dear....”  Make sure you sign your letter.  This assignment should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.  Parts (b), (c), and (d) below have suggestions for what to write about each of the three topics.
2. You: Introduce yourself using the name you like to be called.  Describe your hobbies, talents, and interests.  State your goals or dreams.  What are you proud of?  What else would you like to share?
3. You as a Student: State the importance of school in your life.  Describe yourself as a student.  What kinds of classroom activities do you excel at most?  What kinds of activities do you find frustrating?  Explain which subjects are your favorites.  Tell why you like them.  How often do you finish in-class assignments?  How faithfully do you do your homework?
4. You as a Math Student: Describe your most memorable moment in math and explain why you remember it.  State your favorite math topic and name your least favorite.  Explain how you feel about math this year. 

Due: Friday September 6th

Can be completed by hand and submitted in class, on the computer and submitted in class, or via email or shared on Google Docs. Any Questions, email Ms. Schuck mschuck@umtsd.org. 

3. Summer Math Packet

Summer math packets will be graded based on completion and work shown. It will count as a 10 point homework assignment.

Due: Tuesday September 10th

Welcome Back!

2019-2020 Welcome Back to School

Welcome back to Upper Moreland Middle School! I am looking forward to another fun, exciting and meaningful school year. We will be building on prior knowledge and learning more math skills and strategies to help us be more critical thinkers and problem solvers.

I will be using this blog for several reasons:
-communication between school and home
-provide helpful links, tips, strategies related to math and learning for both students and parents
-in class source of reference

Feel free to email me at any time to ask questions or provide feedback-mschuck@umtsd.org.

Please check out my blog in the next couple days for a post regarding homework for the first week of school, including when Summer Math Packets will be collected. Also, look for additional posts referencing access to online textbooks, Homework Policies, Classwork Policies, and Assessment Policies.

I am looking forward to meeting the new 7th grade class on Tuesday September 3, 2019, and parents at the Open House on Wednesday September 11, 2019.

Enjoy the last week of summer vacation and I hope you are refreshed and ready to build on all you have learned in the past!
