__Mrs. Sellers Class Expectations__
 * I expect for you to be in the classroom ready to begin when the tardy bell rings.
 * I expect you to be attentive and prepared for class each day.
 * I expect you to maintain a complete and up-to-date notebook. Keep your math log in the front of the notebook. We will have a notebook quiz each six weeks. I will ask specific questions from assignments.
 * I expect you to take notes on new concepts so that you will have examples at home. Also, utilize the websites given for extra help.
 * I expect you to be responsible for make-up work according to the student handbook guidelines. A grade of zero will be given on all work missed during an unexcused absence.
 * I expect you to check D2L daily for assignments, news and grades.
 * I expect you to show ALL work on assignments and tests.
 * I expect you to ask questions in class if you do not understand a problem or concept.
 * I expect you to be courteous to your classmates whether in groups or working alone.

If you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to do your makeup assignments and give them to me the next day. You MUST do your homework if you are absent.
New Homework Policy: On time - 100% 1 day late - detention. Will finish work in detention for 50%. It is the student's responsibility to inform parents of detention. More on the policy is on the school website and D2L.

====Accentuate the Negative - This AMSTI (Alabama Math, Science and Technology Intiative) lesson is an excellent way to learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide integers (positive and negative numbers). There will be outstanding activities to help learn the rules. You will discover on your own the rules and reasons for using integers.====

=== Stretching and Shrinking is another great AMSTI unit on proportions, similar figures, etc. There are several hands-on activities with this unit. It is centered around the WUMP family. We will graph 6 different figures and try to find the imposters in the family. All family members will be similar (same shape) to each other.===
