Homework
2-4 hours per week. Please contact the teacher if the learner has any questions about the work. 1) "Warm-up Activities" - Learners are expected to complete the warm-up activities. 2) "Lesson Practice" - Learners should complete every problem. The "Lesson Practice" covers the material from the "New Concepts". 3) "Mixed Practice" - Learners should complete every problem. Saxon scaffolds upon previous lessons, so completing all the problems is important. Learners or guardians should check the answers in the "Solutions Book". 4) "Tests" - Guardians should check the answers using the "Solutions book". 5) "Fact Quizzes" - Fact quizzes should be completed with each lesson. No more than one per day should be completed to ensure repetition for learning. 6) "Investigations" - These should be completed as intended. 7) "Topics" - These should be completed as intended. 8) "Supplemental" problems - These are found at the back of the big book for additional problems. They can be completed as needed for additional practice. These will not be reviewed unless a learner requests a specific question.
Assessment
Progress will be evaluated during the lessons based on learner work. The teacher may contact the learner's guardians as needed. Guardians are welcome to contact the teacher as needed. Progress will be evaluated with the Saxon tests if requesting a grade. Minute fact tests should be completed without any assistance from calculators, parents, etc. Assigned Saxon tests should be completed without assistance from parents or other people. Calculators may or may not be used, and this will be stated by your teacher when the assessment is assigned.
Certificate of Completion
1) I can assign grades if requested. The learner must turn in their tests to receive a grade. Please let me know if you are requesting a grade for the semester. 2) I do not grade homework. Learners are welcome to ask individual questions or post photos for homework review. It is not required to submit homework. 3) If the learner is not requesting a grade, submitting "Tests" is not required. 4) The "Solution Manual" contains the answers to the lesson homework and test answers.

Pacing: 
The teacher will post for each lesson, which will include the week's teaching videos, lessons, and assignments. The learner can reply by posting the answers to assigned homework, asking questions, or replying to discussion questions. Learners are not required to submit homework, it is optional to submit homework.   

Teacher Videos:
The teacher provides videos for the "New Concepts" which show the new material and the examples in the "New Concepts". These videos will help explain how to complete the work. 

Assignments (Required Curriculum Work): 
Aim to complete one lesson's worth of activities per day.  
**Lesson Practice: Learners will complete the problem(s), and post the answer(s) in a comment on the teacher's post. Learners will post their work (as a photo or typing it out), and not only the answers. This is about 4-6 problems to discuss with the teacher (and other learners) per day in the lesson thread. The teacher will respond to each student's answers and work. Learners should remember that the answers and step-by-step directions are in the "Solution Manual". If a learner has questions, they should contact the teacher. 
**Mixed Practice: The learner should complete all the problems from the "Mixed Practice". The learner does not need to submit the answers to this material, however, if the learner has questions, they may submit problems for review or questions.
**Investigations: The teacher will post the investigation information. 
**Tests: Learners will refrain from posting the answers in the classroom, however, they can message the teacher directly. **Learners have the option to submit tests for grading.
**Topics: The learners will collaborate to complete the Topic questions together, discussing the topic in the classroom post.

Beyond the Curriculum Work: 
Learners are required to participate in flex classes. Learners do not have to complete all the extras but must complete at least one and comment on the weekly post. 
**ixl.com: 
When possible, matching ixl lessons will be posted to go with each book lesson. These are optional activities and not required to complete. Please ask the teacher if you would like an included username and password to take advantage of the subscription.
**Khan Academy: 
When possible, matching Khan Academy lessons will be posted to go with each book lesson. These are optional activities and not required to complete. The class code will be provided for the learners upon enrollment. 
**Online Activity: 
Learners will complete the individual activities with each lesson. Each activity will be posted in the teacher's post. This may be something such as a whiteboard activity, manipulatives, online flashcards, or more. For example, https://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/quadrilaterals/parallelograms/interactive-parallelogram.php . Learners will take a photo of the activity and post it in the teacher's post as a comment. The discussion will then be based on comparing the different posted photos - are the shapes similar, congruent, etc. 
**Real-Life Activity: 
Learners will respond to questions pertaining to real life with a comment on the teacher's post. If the learner knows how to associate the lesson material with a real-life topic (such as at a job, or shopping, etc), the learner should discuss this in the lesson post.
