Summary
In an effort to help improve organization and to better prepare students for transition to high school conventions, students are now responsible for maintaining a math binder which must conform to very specific requirements. Students were given a rubric/scoring guide today which should appear as the first entry in their binders. Parents are encouraged to monitor the state of class notes on a daily basis and to look at whether students are successfully filing away corrected work and handouts chronologically. One caveat is that students will not necessarily have class notes daily or the same amount with any consistency. The reason? Each class period is different from the next, so depending on the activity (a classwork, test, or group activity for instance) the class notes may contain more or less information.
Finally, these binders will be checked on February 28, 2007 as a test grade for the 3rd term.
