Greenwood International School
Math Department 2013-2014
Department Policies for the Upcoming Academic Year
“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe”. Galileo The Math department at Greenwood International School believes that a high-quality mathematics program is essential for all students and provides every student with the opportunity to choose among the full range of future career paths. Mathematics trains the mind to be analytic - providing the foundation for intelligent and precise thinking. Mathematics is critical for all students, not only those who will have careers that demand advanced mathematical preparation but all citizens who will be living in the twenty-first century. To compete successfully in the worldwide economy, today's students must have a high degree of comprehension in mathematics.
Proficiency in most of mathematics is not an innate characteristic; it is achieved through
persistence, effort, and practice on the part of students and rigorous and effective instruction on
the part of teachers. Parents and teachers must provide support and encouragement.
The GIS standards focus on essential content for all students and prepare students for the study
of advanced mathematics, science and technical careers, and postsecondary study in all content
areas. All students are required to grapple with:
solving problems;
develop abstract, analytic thinking skills;
learn to deal effectively and comfortably with variables and equations;
Use mathematical notation effectively to model situations.
Develop fluency in basic computational skills.
Develop an understanding of mathematical concepts.
Communicate precisely about quantities, logical relationships, and unknown values through the use of signs, symbols, models, graphs, and mathematical terms.
Reason mathematically by gathering data, analyzing evidence, and building arguments to support or refute hypotheses.
Make connections among mathematical ideas and between mathematics and other disciplines.
2 | P a g e
The mathematical reasoning standards are different from the other standards in that they do not represent a content domain. Mathematical reasoning is involved in all strands.
Mathematics Standards Content A- Number Sense, Concepts, and Operations.
1. Standard 1: The student understands the different ways numbers are represented and used in the real world.
2. Standard 2: The student understands number systems. 3. Standard 3: The student understands the effects of operations on numbers and the
relationships among these operations, selects appropriate operations, and computes for problem solving.
4. Standard 4 : The student uses estimation in problem solving and computation 5. Standard 5: The student understands and applies theories related to numbers.
B- Measurement
1. Standard 1: The student measures quantities in the real world and uses the measures to solve problems.
2. Standard 2: The student compares, contrasts, and converts within systems of measurement (both standard/nonstandard and metric/customary).
3. Standard 3: The student estimates measurements in real-world problem situations. 4. Standard 4: The student selects and uses appropriate units and instruments for
measurement to achieve the degree of precision and accuracy required in real-world situations.
C- Geometry and Spatial Sense
1. Standard 1: The student describes, draws, identifies, and analyzes two- and three-dimensional shapes.
2. Standard 2: The student visualizes and illustrates ways in which shapes can be combined, subdivided, and changed.
3. Standard 3: The student uses coordinate geometry to locate objects in both two and three dimensions and to describe objects algebraically.
D- Algebraic Thinking
1. Standard 1: The student describes, analyzes, and generalizes a wide variety of patterns, relations, and functions.
3 | P a g e
2. Standard 2: The student uses expressions, equations, inequalities, graphs, and formulas to represent and interpret situations.
Performance Areas (skills).
Problem solving: Problem solving involves applying skills, understanding, and experiences to resolve new or
perplexing situations. It challenges students to apply their understanding of mathematical
concepts in a new or complex situation, to exercise their computational and procedural
skills, and to see mathematics as a way of finding answers to some of the problems that
occur outside a classroom. Students grow in their ability and persistence in problem
solving by extensive experience in solving problems at a variety of levels of difficulty and
at every level in their mathematical development.
Problem solving, therefore, is an essential part of mathematics and is subsumed in every
strand and in each of the disciplines in grades five through twelve. Problem solving is not
separate from content. Rather, students learn concepts and skills in order to apply them
to solve problems in and outside school. Because problem solving is distinct from a
content domain, its elements are consistent across grade levels.
Application, and Analysis of the Mathematical concepts and relating them to daily life, through solving exercises, word problems and applications...
Communication and social skills: through group work, or presentation of their own work.
Technology skills: using the computers or graphic calculators to solve problems or present their work.
Specific Skills

Major policies Parents who are interested and supportive of their child's learning are more likely to have children succeeding in school. Keeping the above statement in mind, we would like to help in supporting the success of your children by knowing the strategies that we will be following in the Math Department, based on the benchmarks in our Curriculum Manual, so that the students will be ready to sit for any benchmark test later on, like the SAT test.
The following is a Summary of the Major policies of the Mathematics Department 1. The students will be provided with study guides or mock tests on the school website in the
student’s portal, based on our curriculum manual, benchmarks and objectives before every
quiz, test, or exam.
2. The students will be tested based on what they have practiced at home from the study
guides or mock tests mentioned above.
3. The evaluation will be based on the objectives the students achieved, and objectives that
they still need help to accomplish, through the detailed report that will be sent to you twice a
term.
4. A quiz or a classwork won’t be repeated unless a sick leave is submitted to the supervisor,
failing to do so will grant the student a failing grade in these criteria.
5. Students are mostly welcome to stay after school to finish projects or study with their groups
or inquire their teachers about certain difficulties they faced in the class during explanation.
However, permission should be taken from the girls’ /boys’ supervisors before hand. The
timings would be from 2:10 pm until 3:00 pm.
6. The department will support the students and help them through reinforcement sheets and
online mock quizzes for extra practice before quizzes.
7. In case of serious issues in the subject matter, the students will be asked to stay after school
for a support program with the head of the department or the teacher of the subject matter
to clarify difficulties.
8. Students should have their books and copybooks with them at all times.
5 | P a g e
9. Untidy copybooks can cause deduction of marks from class participation criteria; however,
tidy and neat copybooks will be granted an extra 2 points on the class participation by the
end of the term.
10. Unavailable books can lead to a low grade in open book classwork assignments.
11. A file has to be in the locker at all times to keep all needed papers and handouts.
12. Follow this pattern whenever you write in your copybook:
13. The outline of the course subject matter or the syllabus will be uploaded on the website. It
includes the teacher contacting email for ongoing communication during the term.
14. The parents will receive a performance report in the first term to have a feedback about the
performance of their child in the subject matter. In terms 2 and 3, performance reports will
be sent to the parents whose children’ s performance has declined or has not improved yet.
15. The teachers will have a specified day and time where parents can come to school and meet
with them to discuss issues regarding their child’s academic performance as per a pre set
“walk-in meeting” schedule.
Math Grading Policy: This is to let parents know in advance the break up of the grade distribution, how often the different types of assessment will be administered, and how parents can help their child keep his or her grades up.

Ref. 2013-2014.Policy
Science Department Strategies 2012-2013
Dear Beloved Students,
We would like to welcome you into a promising year of scientific achievements; a year full of successful events and practical experiences to enlighten and strengthen your academic future.
To ensure achieving so, please, do take the following points into consideration. Welcome Back!
1. Deadlines of journals, projects, and homework assignments
Assignments such as projects, journals and homework sheets should be submitted on
time, or else a zero will be recorded for these criteria. Late assignments will be granted
a 40% of the actual grade.
If homework sheets are corrected and returned to the students then the assignment
cannot be accepted as a late one and will be evaluated as a 0% .
The middle school projects are to be done in the school during the science periods. The
completion of the project can be done at home after the basic stuff are done in school.
Parents are not to interfere in making these projects that reflect the students’ abilities.
The high school will have one project per term to be assigned in one of the scientific
subjects but the grade will be considered for the three subjects. So, a good quality of
work should be presented to grant a high performance grade in the three scientific
subjects.
2. Missed quizzes , classwork activities, and graded experiments
A quiz or a classwork or a graded lab practice won’t be repeated unless a sick leave is
submitted to the supervisor; failing to do so will grant the student a failing grade in
these criteria.
3. Staying after School and Supporting Programs
Students are mostly welcome to stay after school to finish projects or study with their
groups or inquire their teachers about certain difficulties they faced in the class during
explanation. However, a permission should be taken from the girls’ /boys’ supervisors
before hand. The timings would be from 2:10 pm until 3:00 pm.
The department will support the students and help them through reinforcement sheets
and online mock quizzes for extra practice before quizzes.
In case of serious issues in the subject matter, the students will be asked to stay after
school for a support program with the head of the department or the teacher of the
subject matter to clarify difficulties.
4. Labs
The lab is an important pillar in teaching sciences. Students are to sit at the end of each
term for a theoretical/practical evaluation lab quiz to evaluate their understanding of
the subject matter.
In the middle school (grades 5-8), students will enjoy the labs as twice as much by
having a general lab course and to be evaluated on the grade report as well as related
subject activities to be evaluated as a part of the science subject. So labs have to be
taken seriously at all times.
5. Books, Copybooks, and Files
Students should have their books and copybooks with them at all times.
Untidy copybooks can cause deduction of marks from class participation criteria;
however, tidy and neat copybooks will be granted an extra 2 points on the class
participation by the end of the term.
Unavailable books can lead to a low grade in open book classwork assignments.
A file has to be in the locker at all times to keep all needed papers and handouts.
Follow this pattern whenever you write in your copybook:
6. Extra Points and Treats
Up to 5 extra points can be granted on the average through the participation in scientific
extracurricular projects and activities such as the science challenge competition, the first aid
course, the formula one contest, …
Best performing students in the subject matter or in the science competitions taking place will
be granted treats such as trips, special breakfast or lunch invitations, certificates, and gifts…
7. Syllabus, Grade Distribution, and Communication
The outline of the course subject matter or the syllabus will be distributed to the students and
uploaded on the website. It includes the teacher contacting email for ongoing communication
during the term.
The parents will receive a performance report in the first term to have a feedback about the
performance of their child in the subject matter. In terms 2 and 3, performance reports will be
sent to the parents whose children’ s performance has declined or has not improved yet.
p.19 Ch.4 Sec.1 Day-Month-Year
Title
Objective:
The teachers will have a specified day and time where parents can come to school and meet
with them to discuss issues regarding their child’s academic performance as per a pre set “walk-
in meeting” schedule.
Grade distribution:
5. Cheating, copying, cutting and pasting material
Copying homework sheets will grant both students a zero.
Cheating in a quiz is prohibited completely and will lead to undesired consequences.
Cutting and pasting material from any reference for research work will affect your
evaluation grade.
