Math Requirements: 8 th Grade

HOMEWORK: Homework will be given every day. All calculations

must be done in pencil, and students must show their work. Students

receive a 100 point homework grade at the beginning of each trimester. A

missed or incomplete homework assignment results in a five point

reduction of the homework grade. The homework grade is 5% of the

trimester grade.

NOTEBOOK: Students are required to keep a math notebook which

consists of daily notes, sample problems, homework, and quizzes. In

addition, students are required to keep track of all test and quiz grades, as

well as missed homework, on a grade grid, which is an up-to-date record of

the student’s progress. This must be kept in the front of the notebook.

Notebooks will be grade periodically on organization, completeness,

neatness, corrections made, and calculations done in pencil. The notebook

counts as 5% of the grade for the trimester.

TESTS AND QUIZZES: There will be at least one quiz and one

test on each chapter. Test grades count as 60% of the trimester grade,

and quiz grades count as 30% of the trimester grade.

MIDTERM AND FINAL: The midterm and final exams each

count 12.5% of the final year-end grade.
