Each entry should have a date (month/date/year)

If a student is absent, they are responsible for using a classmates journal to make up the work. Students will be given advance notice before a check so that they can complete any missing work.

Notebooks will be checked after every 10 entries. The check will be a grade and will be used to make sure that the notebooks are complete. An incomplete notebook is not a useful tool to be successful. More details about how the notebook will be graded will be given at a later date. The notebook check will NOT include actual homework assignments. This is much different from what we have done in the past. This should be an opportunity to make a good grade in Math since all of the work is done in class.
