your pencil in the air and you will be given permission to sharpen it.
Turn in all assignment on time. You will be given five homework passes each semester. Any missing assignments can only
be complete during Math Tutoring with me.
Take Responsibility
Be responsible for any work missed during an absence. (see student handbook for details) Check homework calendars (in
class), power school, or my website for missed materials.
Work to your potential, which includes staying on task.
Handle all out of class business between classes.

Statistics
Grades will be determined by comparing the number of points a student has earned with the total points possible for
any given time in the grading period.
(Total points earned Total points possible) 100 = percent grade
Grades are not just limited to the categories listed below.
Grades will mostly be taken from:
Homework will be graded on a daily basis for completion or accuracy at the discretion of the teacher. (Each homework
assignment is worth 5 points.)
Class Assignments These may be graded for completion or accuracy
Projects These will be started in class but finished at home
Quizzes These will be given randomly throughout the school year. They may occur with or without notice.
Tests These will cover a specific unit of study, however, any prior concept is subject to be on any test. Students may stay
after school and correct their mistakes to earn back half their points missed.
Together, quizzes and test compose 60% of your overall grade
*Points may vary on each assignment
**Grading system is subject to change at the beginning of each 9 weeks
Consequences: (Order may change due to severity of the behavior)
Verbal Warning
Parent Contact/Teacher Consequence
Office Write-Up
Math Tutoring:
Students will be able to complete make-up work, perform test corrections, and receive tutoring on Monday Wednesday during lunch or afterschool until 4:00 pm. Tutoring will take place in my room (230) and students will
have access to the calculators and any other necessary resources. This is the ONLY way students will be able to
complete test corrections and attempt any missing work.

Academic standards, chosen by the Tennessee State Board of Education, provide a common set of expectations for what
students should know and be able to do at the end of a specific grade or course. Local school districts determine the order

Statistics
in which these state-mandated standards are addressed in their schools. For a breakdown of standard pacing and course
objectives for Statistics students in the Clarksville Montgomery County School System, please visit the Curriculum
Navigator on the CMCSS homepage found at: http://curriculum.cmcss.net/public/index.aspx

It is the policy of the Clarksville Montgomery County School System to follow the dictates of state statues in the selection
and use of all instructional materials. Parents or legal guardians may request to review any instructional materials used in
the classroom of the parent or legal guardians child following the guideline set forth in Instructional Policy INS-A073

The chart below outlines the units of study for Statistics and possible major assignments or field trips that could be used to
enhance student learning or solidify mastery of standards in each unit. This chart is not inclusive of every assignment for
Statistics, as additional or different assignments may be created based on the needs of students. Specific details for major
assignments will be shared with students and parents or legal guardians as the standards related to the assignments are
addressed in class.
