3 STRIKES DURING CLASS WILL
EARN AN OFFICE REFERRAL.
Some helpful ideas for a successful math
student: always
have your pencil, paper, and composition notebook; always have something to
keep notes and graded papers in; be prepared to listen and follow
directions; be prepared to be called on to participate in class; practice makes perfect; always
speak up when you have a question; math is everywhere; always
read your decimals correctly (3.4 is 3 and 4 tenths, not 3 point 4); if you
have a missing assignment…make it up as soon as possible; remember
that other students may work faster or slower than you…work at your own
best pace; put forth your best effort.
NO ZEROS!!!!!!
IT TAKES
2 GRADES OF 100% TO MAKE 1 ZERO AVERAGE TO A 75%.
0% +
100% = 100 / 2 grades which = 50%.
50%
+100% = 150 / 2 grades = 75%.
HOWEVER, if I average it like this, 0 + 100 + 100 = 200, and then do
200 / 3, you only get a 67%! Lesson? DON”T GET A
ZERO!!!!
