Each day, you need to come to class with: 1. Paper 2. Pencil 3. A positive attitude 4. A calculator (Your calculator should be a Scientific calculator, NOT a Graphing calculator. This type of calculator costs about ten dollars, and can be used for years.)

	Tests will be given at least once per chapter and will be announced in advance. We will review the day before a chapter test. If you are absent on the review day, you will still be expected to take the test as scheduled.
	Homework is a very important part of learning. Without practice, you won’t remember how to do the work. Be sure to put your name, date, and assignment at the top of the page so you will get full credit. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK! A list of answers will not be accepted. You will be given time at the end of most class periods to start on your assignment, and we will go over the homework every day.
	ABSENCES: It is hard to learn when you are absent. You are responsible for completing any missed assignments and then showing me your make-up work when you turn it in. Please write “Make-up work” on the top of the paper along with the page or assignment and your name. This makes grading late work much easier.
