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:

1. Do your homework!
2. Take good notes in class.
3. Study or get help before quizzes are given.
4. Retake quizzes as soon as possible (don't procrastinate!)
5. 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
