Pre-Algebra: grades 7-9 : Mrs. Jennifer Cromwell

• Offered yearly

• Tuition: $30 per month

This course is designed to give students a firm foundation in mathematical concepts needed to prepare them for Algebra I.

Textbook: Glencoe Mathematics Pre-Algebra (ISBN 0-07-825200-8)

Supplies: Students will need a

three-ring (1-inch) binder,

pencils,

loose-leaf

notebook paper

graph paper

a calculator,

a small pencil sharpener,

five tab dividers.

Workload: There will be 4-5 assignments each week, including tests and lessons,

with 20-30 problems per lesson.

Tests: Parents will administer and sign all chapter tests. All chapter tests will be

sent home with the student and should be completed and mailed or emailed to my

house, arriving no later than Friday of that same week. (You may even bring it to

my front door if you choose). Five points will be deducted for each day that the

test is late. These days only include days that mail is delivered. The latest I will

accept a test is three days late (generally on Tuesday). After this, the grade will be

recorded as a zero. Tests are 20% of the student’s grade.

Daily work: All daily assignments should be graded at home and signed by the

parent during the week. Students are expected to call me during the week with

questions about problems they’ve missed and don’t understand. Waiting until

Monday is not acceptable. Daily work is 65% of the student’s grade.

Participation: Students are expected to come prepared for class and positively

participate in class each week. It is worth 10% of the student’s grade.

Notebook: I believe in training students to be organized. Keeping an orderly

notebook is worth 5% of the student’s grade.
