Benchmark Quiz Information
I will give approximately 8 benchmark quizzes each term (six for Math 7); these quizzes test students on important concepts that need to be mastered in pre-algebra. To advance on to Elementary Algebra or Algebra-A next year all quizzes need to be passed; this helps lay a solid foundation.
To pass a quiz students need to score an 80% or better (4/5).
If they don't pass a quiz they may retake it as many times as needed; but each time a quiz is retaken the highest possible grade decreases by 10%. (For more information please refer to the Benchmarks Policies and Procedures Document)
I suggest the following:
- Do your homework!
- Take good notes in class.
- Study or get help before quizzes are given.
- Retake quizzes as soon as possible (don't procrastinate!)
- Stay organized (don't lose quizzes, you need to make corrections on old ones before taking a new one)
Benchmarks aren't the only item I consider when making math class recommendations for the next year, I also take into account:
Work ethic
CRT scores (end of year testing)
MARS test scores
Math grade
Retention
