Click here (or to the left on the chalkboard icon) to navigate to the LHS Google Classroom for Consumer Math. This is the principle spot for LHS CM online interaction.

The last day to retest or submit Q2 make-up work is one week before the end of the quarter: Monday, December 11.

Projects & such

The following project assignments should be turned in during class on each indicated day:

Day
Assignment
 
#
11/24 Dream Digs submit requirements 4a
11/28 Dream Digs gClassroom submit final report to gClassroom 4b
12/13 Spending Spree Project furnish your place (gClassroom) 5

Late work will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue. The formula used is:

\[adjusted\;score = {0.95^{days\;late}} \times original\;score\]

Extra-credit opportunities may be announced in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted online: for example, noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try. Every successful extra-credit submission will replace your lowest homework, classwork, or bellwork score; but it does not replace a missing or poor project assignment. (And extra-credit work has no effect on projects, or quiz scores.)

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 5% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue; computed using the formula above.

Oh, and here is a previous version of this page from the first quarter for your reference.
