Classroom Procedures

2011 - 2012

• Line up quietly outside room 261 (along the lockers) until Mr. Beattys invites you into the classroom.

• Come on time to class everyday and prepared with your math binder and a pencil.
• Your class participation average will be decreased every time you do not have your math binder or a pencil.

• Begin working on the day’s warm up immediately.
• The warm up will be on the yellow table, illuminated on the screen in the front of the room, or handed to you as you enter.

• After completing the warm up, place last night’s homework on your desk for Mr. Beattys to check (or collect).

• Homework assignments that are late will not receive credit.

• Students are expected to actively participate in all lessons.
• solve problems, ask questions, discuss ideas with classmates, challenge responses, etc.

• When working in groups, maintain your focus (no socializing).

• Respect and listen to your peers’ ideas and problem solving methods (there is always more than one way to solve a problem!).

• ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING!!!!!
• Understanding your questions will help me gauge our progress and establish an effective timeline for the course.

• A quiz or a test will be given every 4-6 class periods.

• You will be given at least one week’s notice for all tests.

• Advanced notice for quizzes may or may not be given.

• Food and drinks are not allowed in our class room at any time.
