In order to meet the outcomes relating to the topics below, students will be expected to:
- Communicate in order to learn and express their understanding of mathematics
- Develop and apply new mathematical knowledge through problem solving
- Connect mathematical ideas to other concepts in mathematics, to everyday experiences, and to other disciplines
- Demonstrate fluency with mental mathematics and estimation
- Select and use technologies as tools for learning and solving problems
- Develop visualization skills to assist in processing information, making connections, and solving problems
- Develop mathematical reasoning

Assessment & Learning
This year, we continue to engage in classroom assessment both of and for learning.
Assessment for learning is ongoing as the learning continues, and helps both teachers and students to know where they are in their learning process and where they need to go. Assessment of learning happens at the end of a section of study and shows how thoroughly a concept is understood. Both make use a wide variety of conversations, classroom observations, and products.

Homework
Homework will be assigned on a regular basis so that students can practice skills previously introduced in class and deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts. Check Mme Radkey’s calendar or the Remind service for current work.
Homework is recorded as complete/incomplete and is often discussed in class. It is not directly graded, however successfully completing homework will help students to master skills which will help them on future assignments and quizzes.
Please note that some graded in-class assignments may need to be completed at home.

Details of Assessment
Students will be assessed for understanding of each specific curriculum outcome using a 1-4 rubric:
1 or 1+, Very little evidence of understanding. (Off track.)
2 or 2+, Initial evidence of understanding. (Getting there.)
3, Expected understanding (Got it!)
3+ or 4, Advanced understanding (Above and beyond!)
A variety of assignments, exit cards, tests, paper and online quizzes, journal responses, homework probes (mini-quizzes), discussions, and teacher observations will be used to assess the students' understanding of each outcome of the course. This information will be used to calculate a percentage grade in each of the strands (see below) studied by the end of each term. Each term’s grades are independent of the others and no overall yearly grade is assigned.

- Measurement
- Geometry
- Statistics and Probability
Missed Classes
Students are responsible for finding out what they have missed and getting any notes or handouts. They must check the website for information and work, and attend extra help for instruction as needed.
Extra Help
Extra help is available most days at lunch in room 1207, and at other times by request. Just speak to Mme Radkey to set up a time and place!
Powerschool
Students and their parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to keep track of their progress in Math using the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Please contact Mrs. Golding in the office if you need your username, password, and student codes.
Any percentage grades displayed are not fully accurate until the end of term in Junior High. Recorded rubric scores cannot be directly translated to a percentage grade by calculations within the database. This is done by hand by each teacher at the end of term.
