Grades are assigned based on the following percentages:

Establish, describe, and evaluate the use of tactile learning manipulatives in elementary-level mathematics to model operations, algorithms, and sets.
Justify the use of our numeration system by comparing it to other bases, and describe the development of our system and its properties as it expands from the set of natural numbers to the set of real numbers.
Demonstrate mastery of basic computational skills and recognize the appropriate use of manipulatives to enhance those skills.
Perform standard and alternative algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers, fractions, and decimals.
Discuss relationships between numbers involving the divisors, multiples, and factoring of the numbers.
Demonstrate the use of mathematical reasoning by justifying and generalizing patterns and relationships.
Solve open-ended elementary school problems in areas such as patterns, arithmetic, ratios, and negative numbers.

Academic honesty is expected from all students. Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated.

Additional information about assignments, resources, and more will be provided during the course.
