Other Materials necessary for class: Each student should have a notebook for taking
notes and working out sample problems. They should also have a calculator,
protractor, and compass.
Homework: Expect to spend approximately 30-60 minutes
per day on assignments. Assignment
solutions will be handed out at the beginning of each semester. Assignments are to be corrected by
parents. Questions on the assignments
will be answered at the beginning of each class time. There will be 3-5 lessons covered each week. Assignment notes and help videos are posted
on the CHAT math website.
Class time: Class time will always begin with review of
the previous week's lessons by answering any questions the students may
have. The remainder of the class time
will be spent on new material.
Tests: Tests will be assigned approximately every 2
weeks. Parents will administer (and
sign) the tests and the student will turn in the test at the beginning of class
the following week. All tests will be
graded by the teacher and returned to the student. A Final Exam will be given during the final
class period.
Grading: Assignment completion must be monitored by
the parents on a daily basis to get the most possible value from the
class. Students should not fall behind! Assignments will be handed in weekly. Tests will be corrected by the teacher and be
returned with the percentage correct.
