Standard Deviants: Points, Lines, & Plans

Laptop Classroom Expectations

ReAssessment

Remember...it is important that you master all the skills and concepts that we practice in class.  Mathematics continues to build upon previous material.  Anytime you would like another opportunity to Show What You Know, you can always retest over any of the "I Can" statements that you have not yet mastered.  Here are the things you will need to do:
1)  Rework any of the missed problems on your Show What You Know assessment.
2)  Have a parent/guardian sign your Show What You Know assessment.
3)  Complete additional practice problems to make sure that you have now mastered the "I Can" statements.
4)  Schedule a time for you to stay after school to reassess by completing this form.

You may reassess any Show What You Know assessment, and you may reassess as many times as it takes to demonstrate mastery of the skills and concepts.

SMART Notebook Express

Several of the interactive lessons that we use in class are created using SMART Notebook Software.  We are able to view these files at school because all of the laptops that we use have the software installed.  To access these lessons at home, follow the steps listed below.  As always, please let me know if you have any trouble.

1) Click on the lesson.  The file will open in either box.net or windows live.

2)  Click on download. When the pop-up menu appears, choose to save the file.  (Be sure you remember where you save the file.)

3)  Go to http://express.smarttech.com/#.  Select Open an existing Notebook file.  Find the file that you saved and click Open.
