                  Welcome to Sr. Susan's Math Site!
I hope the information presented here will help you have a great year in math.
This website will contain important information to help you have a sucessful year. Some of the information contain on this site will be:
        homework and grading policies
        homework assignments(as much as possible)
        supply needs and requirements
        textbook links

_______________________________________________________
Homework Policy

    I believe that homework is a learning tool. I do not grade homework. Students receive credit for homework that is complete and neatly done. In grades 6-8, homework is 15% of their final grade.  A student loses points for homework that is missing or incomplete.  

   Students usually have math homework four nights a week.
_______________________________________________________
Grading Policy

     In grades 6-8, Quiz and test grades are 75% of a student's grade (one test equal two quizes). 15% of the grade is homework and 10% is class participation.
     In the Algebra class, 80% is test and quiz grades, 10% is homework and 10% is class participation.

_______________________________________________________
Class Requirements

1.  Math work must be done in pencil on loose-leaf
    paper.
2.  Students must have with them their basic supplies
    (pencils, ruler, paper, correcting pen and
    assignment notebook)
3.  All assignment should be recorded in their
    assignment notebook.
