Welcome to 8th Grade Mathematics

You will learn a great deal this year, building on what you've previously learned and seeing parts of mathematics you didn't know existed.  The year will go by very quickly.  Don't hesitate to jump in and enjoy the challenges, as High School will be upon you soon and you will need the skills and knowledge from this year to go forward successfully in math, as well as science.

GRADING

• tbd​​​

LATE WORK

EXPECTATIONS and MATERIALS

REQUIRED:

• Courtesy toward your peers and staff is a must regardless of any other considerations.
• Work every day to the best of your ability.

OPTIONAL, but nice:

• At least one pencil.
• A spiral notebook.
• One or more Expo Dry-Erase markers.

The latter three are requested items, not mandates.  It would be a great help to have them, but if you cannot bring your own, please see me and I will make arrangements for you to have what you need.

TECHNOLOGY

• We will be using quite a bit of technology in and out of the classroom this year.
• Chromebooks will be provided.
• Cell phones are permitted for use in the classroom for school communication, math-oriented tasks, and research.
