METHODS OF INSTRUCTION/LEARNINGStudents will be given an opportunity daily to participate in class activities to learn algebra, geometry, and statistics concepts by practice. It is the student’s responsibility to come to class prepared to learn and to be a positive addition to the classroom each day.
- Class lecture/discussion/demonstration
- Guided practice
- Question/answer
- Performance/learning tasks
MAKE UP WORK
It is the student’s responsibility to request make-up work after an absence. The student must make this request within three days of the absence. The student should also copy missed notes from a classmate and find out what other activities were missed. For each absence beyond five days, the school administration must approve any make up work.
EXTRA HELP
Extra help will be available every afternoon from 3:30-4:30 pm, except when faculty meetings or conferences require Mrs. Winn’s presence elsewhere. Please don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it!
