Name __________________________ Subject _______________ Date _______ Dear Students: Everyone wants to do well in school and graduate. You probably want to go to college or into the business world. The choice is yours meaning you need to make the right choices. It is within your power to come to class on time, be prepared with materials, and study. It is not the responsibility of the teacher, your parents, or society. My job is contained in the following mission statement: To help each student to have a positive attitude about life and learning. I hope to nurture them by teaching them the tools they need, by motivating them with my enthusiasm, and by recognizing their attempts as well as their accomplishments. This packet contains some of the tools you will need. Keep it handy. Sincerely, MRS. RITZEL Room 106 Paschal mritzel@smrhs.org 301.475.2814 Ext 403 GRADING GUIDELINES HOMEWORK GRADING (10% of grade) 100 √ + + All students start with 100 at the beginning 90 √ + of each quarter.

Unexcused Student Absences If more than 5 classes are missed per quarter the student may receive a failure grade for the quarter. If a student is absent because of a school activity, a note must be presented to Mrs. Ritzel stating the date and reason for the absence. This paper will be kept for documentation. These students must turn in assignments on or before the due date. Students absent more than 20 classes per year may receive a failure for the year. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ATTENDANCE. COURSE REQUIREMENTS HONORS GEOMETRY periods 1, 2, 3, 6 2007-2008 Page 23212 HONORS GEOMETRY MRS. RITZEL Room 106 Paschal mritzel@smrhs.org 301.475.2814 Ext 403 DESCRIPTION: Geometry deals with the properties and relationships of plane figures such as triangles, polygons, and circles. Concepts of congruence and similarity within figures are investigated. Postulates, theorems, and corollaries are introduced enabling students to complete various geometric proofs. TEXTBOOK: Geometry by Jurgensen, Brown, Jurgensen CONTENT STANDARDS: 1) Achieve the highest mathematical competence possible in support of cross-curricular applications and future studies in math, science, and technology. 2) Understand and be conversant in classic Euclidean geometry. 3) Apply geometric principles to practical challenges and to solving problems related to three-dimensional objects and coordinate geometry. 4) Use illustration and constructions to explain, discuss, or prove geometric principles and statements. 5) Develop abilities in deductive reasoning using formal and informal (paragraph) proofs of geometric theorems and statements. 6) Maintain algebra skills. 7) Develop personal responsibility for study, understanding, homework, and general success in mathematics courses. 8) Develop initial familiarity with basic trigonometric ratios and their applications. 9) Initiate preparation for geometry portion of the SAT. 10) Reflect on and clarify thinking about mathematical skills. MATERIALS: Compass/Straightedge(ruler), Protractor, 2 Notebooks, scientific calculator, pencils, pen, ruler, red pencil, color markers (optional). Two-pocket folder for Student Portfolio. A quiz grade will be given every quarter for the Portfolio. Portfolios not handed in on time will not receive a grade greater than a 70. All papers handed in must have a signed SMR honor code and be in pencil. Penalty of 5 points each. There is no borrowing of materials. Materials are due within one week after the first day of class. CLASSROOM POLICY: Class will begin on time. Students should be in assigned seats or be marked late unless they have a teacher’s note. Late students must have a late note. When working together, students stay in the assigned seats. To add variety to groups, seats are changed often. Only one student at a time may go to the restroom with the proper hall pass and only in an emergency. Class is not finished until students are dismissed. Book bags should be out of aisles. Classwork grade is based on participation, accuracy, and readiness with supplies. Students less than 10 minutes late are LATE; students more than 10 minutes late are CUTTING CLASS. HOMEWORK: Will be given nightly and must be completed in a special notebook the night assigned. Homework will not be accepted after homework is checked. If not done, it will receive a zero. Students are responsible for missed assignments. These may be found on the SMR website or the Homework printout. ALL WORK for problems must appear for credit. Please include the page number, problem number and date for the assignment. Notebooks are checked randomly. Copying of homework is cheating. QUIZZES: May be given at any time. If a student is absent, he/she may not make up a quiz. It doesn’t receive a grade. The student is encouraged to complete the paper and have it checked for accuracy. Homework quizzes are open book. Students may get help but may not copy answers. ALL WORK must be shown on loose leaf attached to the quiz for credit. Answers must be circled on the quiz itself. The quizzes must be handed in the day due before the end of the last class in the box unless they are to be graded during a particular class.
Papers are late if they are not handed in by 2:40 pm (or 12:40 pm for early dismissal) at the end of the school day whether the student was absent or not. No quiz will be taken for a grade after quizzes have been corrected; however, if students still wish to hand in a paper for a grade, they must write and attach a letter of petition to it. In that letter tell me why you think the paper should be graded even though all the answers are held by the students whose papers were already graded and returned. Maybe it was because you were absent (which does not automatically get approved) or it was left home but finished. You must convince me that your reason is valid. It must be signed by you and a legal guardian. NO LATE PAPERS PUT IN THE BOX WILL BE ACCEPTED. THEY WILL BE RETURNED MARKED LATE WITH NO OTHER COMMENT. PUT IT DIRECTLY IN MY HAND NOT IN THE BOX. TESTS: Will usually be given at the end of a chapter but may be given when needed. ALL WORK must be shown on loose leaf. Answers should appear on the test circled. Seats must be separated as much as possible. If a student does not come to make arrangements for a makeup test (which will probably be an alternate test) before the first class on the day he/she returns, they will be expected to take the test during class time. Any test not made up within a week will receive a zero. If a student does not finish a test, he/she should make arrangements to stay after school that same day or the next day. If they cannot do this, they need to complete an alternate test within one week of the original test. Take home tests have rules similar to take home quizzes; however, if late, a student must get an “alternate test.” Students should learn from their mistakes; therefore, any student who fails a test MUST 1) get it signed 2) redo the entire test 3) show all work 4) return it within a week 5) get the retake signed. The grade will be taken as a quiz grade. This is a separate grade. The original test grade stands. PROJECTS: At least two weeks notice will be given. Projects not handed in on time will receive a grade no higher than a 70. COACH CLASS: I will be available from 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM Monday through Thursday. Students should make appointments. I will not stay if no student has signed up. I will not stay if a student with an appointment does not come before 3 PM. Please do not wait until the last minute to get help. ABSENCES: Unless a student is absent for an extended period, absence on the day before a test or an assignment DOES NOT relieve the student of his/her responsibilities. I highly recommend a Homework Buddy, the SMR website, and the Homework printout. I will be happy to discuss work missed before or after class. I follow all school rules. Only work from an excused absence (which means I need to see the written approval from attendance or Administration) may be made up within 3 days of return except take-home quizzes or tests. Work during suspension, cut class, or unexcused absence may not be made up. If a student is absent because of a school activity, a note must be presented to Mrs. Ritzel stating the date and reason for the absence. This paper will be kept for documentation. These students must turn in assignments on or before the due date.

LET’S MAKE A DEAL page 3
MASTERY LEARNING CORRECTION SHEET RULES
If you fail a test, on a separate sheet of paper…. 1. Redo the ENTIRE TEST. This is open book. Get help wherever you can. Come to coach class to get help. Copying answers is considered Cheating. This must be done on a totally different sheet of paper. 2. Show ALL WORK. If there is a problem that involves any work at all, it must be shown. If this work is not shown, then the problem will be marked wrong even if the answer is correct. 3. Hand in within 5 school days whether the class meets or not. If no date is stamped on the original test, then it is the student’s responsibility to know the date corrections are due. If they are not handed in by the due date, parents may be called and other arrangements may be made to handle the situation. 4. Both the original test and the retake must be signed by guardian/parent.
The deal…
Course requirements say that this will get a quiz grade. If you accept the above deal, then the paper gets a TEST grade. If you do not accept the deal, the paper receives a quiz grade. If it is not done within a week, it receives a zero quiz grade and the student will receive a form stating so.
If you pass a test, on a separate sheet of paper…. 1. Redo ANY problem for which you did not receive full credit. Extra credit problems can count only once. These problems must be done on a totally separate sheet of paper. 2. Show ALL WORK. If there is no work, the problem will be marked wrong. 3. Hand in WITH the TEST. The original test must be handed in with the corrections. 4. Hand in within 5 school days whether the class meets or not.
The deal…
This paper will receive a TEST grade, averaged only on the required problems.
