Mr. Trout's Math Classes!

Classroom Procedures

I hope the following procedures will help clarify my classroom policies and practices. I will be adding to this information throughout the school year.

Homework:
Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday.  The exact assignment will be listed in my homework section.  Daily lessons and class activities will be listed too for your information.  Later, I will be listing homework assignments in the calendar section.  I intend to use homwork  primarily as a method for review of basic math concepts and operations.  For this purpose I will be using the Spectrum Math Series.  All homework will be explained in class.
Class Preparation:
All my students are expected to come to class with their math book, completed homework, sharpened pencils, and lined paper to show their math work.  Students are expected to bring their materials with them.  They are not allowed to go to their lockers during class time to get the materials they will need for the day's lesson.
Classwork:
This year we will be using the Spectrum Math Series for homework and  the Algebraic Thinking text for classwork.  Both of these text series will be supplimented with other materials from time to time as the lesson warrents.  Algebraic Thinking text books will not be sent home.  However, pages from that text may be brought home to finish an assignment started in class.
Progress Reports:
It is my goal to facilitate communication by sending home progress reports on a regular basis.  Beginning on October 16, I will be sending them home each Friday.

MORE TO BE ADDED.
