GEOMETRY
McManamy
Supply list:
-
a 2” three-ring binder to hold the
student book, lined paper, graph paper, scored homework, and current homework
-
a scientific calculator
-
regular #2 pencils (work in ink will
not be accepted)
-
red pen for making corrections to
homework
-
1 ream of computer/printer paper
Students are expected to be in class in
their seats when the tardy bell rings.
Students should come to class prepared every
day. This includes all of the supplies
listed above and a positive attitude for learning.
Students are expected to:
-
complete homework daily
- work together
cooperatively to solve problems
- use class time
wisely
-
behave appropriately
- treat others with
respect
- "do the right
thing"
It is essential that all students attend class
daily and are prompt. Much of the learning will take place within small group
interaction and class instruction. If the student misses the class and/or
doesn’t participate in the learning process (do the work), it will be difficult
to make up the work and/or learn the concepts and skills necessary to succeed
in this class.
Food, candy, and /or drink is not allowed in
the classroom (bottled water is acceptable as long as the top can be capped).
Late work will only be accepted if the student
is absent and if the absence is excused. Students have the number of days s/he
was absent plus one more to complete and turn in all late work.

35% of grade is based on daily work
