Math 4 

CP 5000

Instructor: Kadee Green

 

Course Overview:  This class meets 3 days per week online.  Even though the class meets three times each week, completion of daily assignments will be expected.  Math 8/Pre-Algebra is a rigorous course intended to prepare students for high school Algebra 1.  Each class will cover new lesson(s) and homework assignments will be discussed. Students are expected to participate in problem solving.

Curriculum:  Required curriculum may be available at the Learning Center on a first come basis.  If needed, ESs can order curriculum using the OPS catalog which will have the most up-to-date pricing. Students will need: 

  • Go Math Curriculum:  
  • Grade 4 GO Math! Student Edition,  ISBN 9780544204058
  • Grade 4 Standards Practice Workbook, ISBN 9780544230927
  • Grade 4 Online Student Edition, ISBN 9780544537545



Materials: 

  • Working external headset with mic (computer speakers do not work successfully with the Canvas setup). Plug-in headsets (rather than Bluetooth) work best with Jigsaw. After the third week of class and no headset, students may begin to lose participation points for the class. Class is much more engaging if all students can talk in class using their mic. Suggested:  Office Depot Logitech Clear-Chat 
  • Binder Paper
  • 1" Binder
  • Pencils & Erasers
  • Composition Notebook

Attendance: Attendance is required.  The Truancy Policy applies to Canvas courses. An unexcused absence may be counted as a truancy.

  • Excused Absence is defined as:
    The parent shall notify the teacher by phone of the absence at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.
  • Unexcused Absence is defined as:
    An absence that does not accompany a parent phone call to the instructor at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.

*If there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow for at least 24 hours, then the teacher must still be notified prior to the start of class; allowances may be made depending on the circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances: car accident, sudden illness, etc. Students should arrange a "back up plan" in case of unexpected computer problems the day of the class (i.e. make pre-arrangements to go to a neighbor, friend, relative, library, etc.)  


When students are absent, they must contact the instructor via email or contact another classmate to obtain the homework assignment.

Absent Work: To earn attendance credit, a student who is absent-- excused or unexcused-- MUST complete their assigned make-up work within 48 hours of the regularly scheduled class meeting for site based class. Attendance credit will be granted by the instructor based on the quality of the make-up work. 

Late Work: Math Department classes will not accept late work after the close date of the assignment

Daily Homework: Daily assignments will be provided by the instructor and should be corrected by parents.  Types of assignments include online assignments (Think Central), exercises from the student textbook,  exercises from the practice workbook, or other handouts posted in Moodle.  Students should keep a notebook with all necessary work shown in an organized manner.  This daily work is shown to the ES during learning record meetings. The ES will be checking for completeness.   

 

Test & Quizzes: Assessments will be given at the end of each chapter to check students’ understanding of concepts covered.  Tests will be posted in Moodle and need to be submitted before the due date.  Late tests will result in reduced credit. 

 

Final Exam & Projects:   No projects will be assigned this semester.
