Exams - given approximately once every three weeks
20%

a major quiz or test & do not make it up. PLEASE check in with your Algebra

You start the semester with a 10 out of 20 and increase up to 2 points per week. You may also lose points for not doing or correcting in class quizzes.
20% Classwork - at the beginning of the marking period, you have 20 points. If you are absent & do not make up work, you lose a point. Late to class? Lose 1/2 point. Off task? Lose up to a point. Poor notes on the days that we collect? Lose points. You will receive a 0 if you miss a day’s work & do not make it up. PLEASE check in with your Algebra teacher if you are absent!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECTING QUIZZES AND TESTS:
