Agenda
• Who is Mrs. Limon? • Curriculum• Effective Grading Practices• Absences• Calculators• Providing Support at Home
Mrs. Lori Limon
• From Middletown, Ohio• Bachelor’s of Science in Secondary
Education, Ohio University ~ Athens, Ohio• Master’s Degree, City University ~ Seattle,
Washington• Principal Licensure Program, Colorado
State University ~ Fort Collins, Colorado• Married with Four Children
Geometry Curriculum
Tools of Geometry Transformations Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Reasoning and Proof Congruency Triangle Relationships Quadrilaterals Similarity Measurement & Modeling Right Triangles and Trigonometry Probability Circles, Arcs, and Sectors
Conn. 3 is Student-Centered Students are discovering the concepts in groups through
investigations, facilitated by the teacher Students form their own personal connection to the material and
therefore retain it and understand how to apply it
What this means for you, as Parents Homework Help
DO have your student write down questions DO ask your student open-ended questions to facilitate their learning Do not provide Algorithms Do not let your student overwork or stress out
Connected 3 Curriculum
Connected 3 Curriculum
Tools of Algebra Pythagorean Theorem Transformations Scatter Plots Linear Relationships Systems of Equations Exponents
Connected 3 Everyday
Becoming a master student Project based learning Enrichment Study Hall Literacy across all content areas Support for math
Effective Grading Practices
Practice (Formatives):
These assessments are given as part of the instructional process, and they provide information needed to adjust teaching and learning while they are happening
Retakes may be accepted or required by the teacher until proficiency is met or until the summative assessment has been given Counts as 30% of overall grade
Types of Practice (Formatives): some homework, daily quizzes, unit quizzes, basic skills
Effective Grading Practices
Summative Assessments:
These assessments are given periodically to determine at a particular point in time what students know and are able to do
Summative assessments are an independent summary of the learning and retakes are not permitted
Counts as 70% of the overall grade
Types of Summative Assessments: unit tests, math mate tests, projects
Effective Grading Practices
Homework:
Homework is given as part of the instructional process, and it provides information needed to adjust teaching and learning while they are happening
Retakes may be accepted or required by the teacher until proficiency is met or until the summative assessment has been given Counts as 0% of overall grade
Practice Retakes (Formatives) At teacher discretion
Retakes must be completed on their own time (ELO), not during class time
All prior homework must be completed and turned in before a student can retake a formative
Student must fix and clarify (make corrections) on the original formative and turned in with evidence of learning
Students must get a parent signature on the original formative before a retake
Retakes have to be completed before the unit summative assessment
Extra Credit will not be offered
Absences
Due to block scheduling, missing one day is equivalent to missing 2 classes of a traditional 45 minute class
Students are responsible to make up missed work
The student is expected to check the whiteboard in my classroom, the Google calendar, my wikispace, or may ask peers to get missed work http://kin.psdschools.org
Math assignments will be posted on my wikispace: mustang-math.wikispaces.com
