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 for any retesting or submission of any Q1 make-up work is one week before the end of the quarter: Friday, October 11.
Projects & such
The following project assignments should be turned in before class on each indicated day:
Day |
Assignment |
# |
|
| 8/27 | Special Problem Zero | (short written personal document) | 0 |
| 9/10 | Money & Me spending report | estimate and construct a detailed monthly budget |
1a |
| 9/17 | Money & Me completed project | estimate and construct a detailed monthly budget |
1b |

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.
