FIFTH GRADE

INTENSIVE MATH

Mrs. Karen Negrucci

What is Intensive Math?

The Intensive Math course was established to assist students who require additional support in Mathematics. The purpose of the course is to teach children in a small group setting and to offer accommodations that assist them with math learning.

Contact Me

I welcome your input regarding your child’s education. You may contact me at any time: 

• Write a note in the agenda
• Call me at 789-1400 x448

Extra Help

I stay after school every Wednesday in room 204 to provide extra help to students. Your child may want:

• Help with the lessons and homework of the week
• Instruction on classes missed
• Review and practice of previous concepts

The students stay until 3:35 and may be picked up, take a late bus, or walk home.

Make-up Work

If absent for any reason, students are expected to make up all missed work. This includes reading the missed lesson(s) in the textbook and completing all written assignments. The student should stay after on Wednesday to receive instruction on the missed lesson(s).

Grading Policy

Grades are based on homework, quizzes and tests.

• Homework is marked with a check plus (120%), a check (100%), a check minus (75%), or a zero (0%). The term average for all homework counts as one quiz grade.
• Quiz grades count once in the grade book.
• Test grades count twice in the grade book.

Term grade is determined by averaging the above grades.
