Welcome to 6th Grade Math!
Dear Student and Parent,
A new school year is upon us and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Anchor Bay Middle School South. There is much to learn this year about mathematics and your new environment! I would encourage you to ask many questions and seek solutions to the real life experiences you will encounter in mathematics and your middle school life. My duty is to make sure you are learning and to grow your brain I am also here to support you, not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. It is so important that you feel comfortable communicating with me. Please dont hesitate to contact me when you feel like you need a little extra help Looking forward to our year together! Sincerely, Mrs. Prokop Contact Information Colleen Prokop cprokop@abs.misd.net (Please try this method first, because I can access my e-mail at home.) 586-949-4510 4th hour prep between 11:10 and 12:40 (includes lunch) http://cprokopabmssouth. weebly.com
Class Description The sixth grade mathematics course covers units such as Numbers, Ratios, Geometry and Measurement, Statistics, and Algebra. Within each unit students are exposed to real world situations and problem solving experiences based on the National Common Core
Standards for Mathematics. Students have opportunities to work through problems with models and manipulatives to develop concepts. Students then move from concrete manipulatives to algorithms to help problem solve.
The Policy for a Powerful and Productive Pupil
Mrs. Prokop expects Pupils to:
Punctually and regularly attend class
Prepare (Plentiful preparation prevents poor performance) Positively Participate Persist with Patience Take Pride in your Product (make sure its all yours and it is your best effort)
Grades The student is graded on class assignments (learning experiences that can only be done in class), homework assigned Monday through Thursday (homework means work done at home), weekly quizzes, and unit tests. Tests make up 55% of the final grade. Quizzes are worth 20% of the final quarter grade, and classwork and homework make up the remaining 25%. Please see the grading scale in the student handbook to determining letter grades.
Late Work and Absent Work
Students lose 10% of their graded paper for each day the paper is late. After 5 days, the student receives a 0 if the work is not received. Each day a student is absent, they have a day to make up the work. Please check the weebly site to see what you have missed in your absence or check the class calendar located in our room.
Quality and Integrity of Math Work
Students are expected to be honest and fair. Cheating of any kind, from talking during tests, using cheat sheets, copying a friends homework, taking pictures of documents, or posting your homework will result in zeros for all involvedboth provider and recipient. Students are expected to show work. I will not take homework that has answers only. I need to be able to follow the students logic through a problem to remediate misunderstanding. Students failing to show work will receive 10% off each day until the work is submitted with work included.
Supply List Students should come to class each day with a
Pencil Eraser Checking pen (not a highlighter) Textbook Folder And paper
Additional supplies that are not required, but would be helpful include:
Pencil sharpener Box of tissues
Tutoring After school tutoring is available on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons until 4 p.m. Lunch tutoring is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If math becomes difficult, please try to attend several times a week until your questions are answered. Parents, if you wish to know whether or not your child has attended tutoring, records are kept in the office. Students are required to sign in for tutoring and documentation is on file.

I have read Mrs. Prokops Math Syllabus. Because I want my brain to grow and I want to empower myself to successfully solve my own problems, I will do my best to follow the Policy for a Powerful and Productive Pupil.
