6/7 Compressed Mathematics

Course Overview
This accelerated course is aligned with the 6th and 7th grade standards as described in the California Common
Core State Standards. Coursework will compiled from MathScape: Seeing and Thinking Mathematically and
EngageNY curriculum. The nature of the curriculum is such that these standards may be seen in differing
contexts that include applications from other fields of study, technology, and mathematics beyond the
framework.

Expectations
Students are expected to attend regularly AND actively participate. Active participation includes bringing
materials, attentive listening, checking work when solutions are presented, volunteering to present, asking
appropriate questions and doing math when work time is provided

All students will demonstrate age appropriate maturity and responsibility by:
Collaborating and cooperating with students in their group
Turning in assignments on time every day in class
Coming to class prepared
Actively participating in all activities with the maturity of a young adult

Grading Policies
Assignments will be graded with points. The points will be categorized and weighted as follows:
Homework/Classwork 50%
Presentations/Projects 20 %
Tests/Assessments 30%


Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
90% - 100% A
80% - 89% B
70% - 79% C

Make-up work can be turned in on the day of return from an excused absence for full credit. Extended absence
will be handled on a case by case basis.

Late Work will be accepted for full credit from excused absences. It is a students responsibility to collect all
missing assignments the day they return. Late work will be accepted until the end of the unit. Homework that
was not done, plagiarized, or followed an unexcused absence will not be accepted.

the test.
