iReady is an individualized computer program that assesses students' math skills and then designs lessons to improve these skills.  I am using this program in my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes.  Your child will take a diagnostic test sometime during the first two weeks of school.  After that assessment, we will begin completing lessons to improve math skills.  Your child can access the iReady program at home, so that you can see what lessons and grades your child has earned in iReady.  He or she can also complete extra lessons at home which will increase their progress in math.  We will also do short lessons as a class, small groups or individually.

Grading:

The grading for this class is either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.  This is based on student effort in iReady and teacher-based lessons.
