Algebra I students will take the 8th grade EOG test in Math as well as the End of Course (EOC) test for Algebra I
Students must have a passing year-end average for the class in order to gain 1 high school credit
The grade for this year’s course will show up on the students’ high school transcript but doesn’t not count toward the high school GPA
100 - 93 A92 – 85 B84 – 77 C76 – 70 D69 – 0 F
55% Formal = Tests/Quizzes/Projects 35% Informal = Warm-ups, Classwork
(some graded for accuracy, some for completion)
10% Homework
Classwork turned in late receives no higher than a 50%
All grades are weighted based on total points (Tests = 100 pts, Quizzes = 40/50, Classwork = 15-30)
Homework: Each homework assignment will count as 10 pts
toward 100 10 homework assignments will be entered in
NCWISE as 1 grade Late or partially completed homework will earn 5
pts instead of 10
◦ Ex: 90% = 9 out of 10 completed on time, OR 8 completed on time & 2 turned in late
Enter class with all materials (binder, workbook, calculator, pencil)
Copy assignment from board into agenda Place homework & agenda out on corner of desk to be
checked Begin warm-up (in Composition Notebook) Grade warm-up & homework Take all notes Participate productively in individual & cooperative work Show all steps to problems in neat & organized manner on
