I moved from individual sheets (because I am a terrible filer and always lost them) to a "Responsibility Binder" for students who did not do their homework. I just use the ABC dividers from Staples in the binder. The ABC dividers made it easy to record their hw scores at the end of the grading period because they were in ABC order. The binder pages I created can be found here http://ispeakmath.org/2012/08/13/the-no-homework-responsibility-binder/ In fact, if they don't show work, maybe I'll have them sign and put a -1 next to their name? Love that idea! Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767059767632748.post-13571524271720379392013-08-02T00:16:01.888-04:002013-08-02T00:16:01.888-04:00Great idea!

I like this because they see all the assignments they have missed all at once.<br /><br />As for as them not understanding the value of 15%, I made a pie chart to give my students a visual representation vs. the whole grade and will post it in my room.<br /><br />Both of these can be seen on my blog.<br /><br />Tori @ KelsoeMath.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099867911186672608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767059767632748.post-18687792485928179142013-08-01T21:30:15.331-04:002013-08-01T21:30:15.331-04:00That's a good idea too.

I am curious Katie, I am a new teacher and you have some great ideas and since I am also going into middle school math I wish there was a way I could contact you with some questions. Is it possible to do that or can I post them here?

I have used them in the past, and my usual reason that I get is "I forgot" Parents love to see in their child's handwriting the reasons they do not have homework (especially since students in my school only get homework in math every night)<br /><br />I have never done the reward when the class has 100%. I may have to try that, and keep it posted (a competition between my 4 classes maybe?) I don't see all 4 classes each day, but only 3 a day (a rotating schedule), so I am thinking a competition between the classes that lasts for a marking period (the class with the highest percentage of homework completion gets something) Any ideas for the reward?Susan Hewetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04126108127297053487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767059767632748.post-5384813177888726622013-08-01T19:10:04.483-04:002013-08-01T19:10:04.483-04:00I like these forms!

I make little symbols in my gradebook to keep track of whether the missing HW was from an absence or not, but I love the idea that I can pull these out for a parent conference. <br /><br />For the letters, I wouldn't expect 8 in a row unless you're doing some amazing award (better than no homework). I tried Homeworkopoly for the first part of last year (until I realized I just didn't have the 20 uninterrupted minutes it took me each week to do that) and there were students in every class who never managed to do all of their assignments in one week. I think 8 non-consecutive days is still a good challenge, but not something that's unattainable. Can you imagine how angry the students would be if someone broke the chain around day 6 or 7? Oh my! <br /><br />Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301412875277554720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767059767632748.post-2566145264138104712013-08-01T19:06:48.724-04:002013-08-01T19:06:48.724-04:00I like the Missing Homework Slip.

I use peer pressure to try to help avoid missing assignments. I bring in a small treat on Monday for the whole class if the entire class has no missing assignments the prior week. ylrbmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399159696377559705noreply@blogger.com
