Welcome to Math with Mrs. Faught!!!

Greetings!
I'm Mrs. Faught and I would like to welcome you to the class. 
To start off, I'd like to share a little about myself.
I earned my Bachelors in the Art of Education from Wichita State University, and am over half way to my Masters. Teaching at Patton Jr. High has been my favorite, I grew up an Army dependent and love it here!
I continue to be impressed by the educational opportunities offered at Fort Leavenworth and am looking forward to being an integral part of the student successes for which the district is known.
Communication is a vital piece in the puzzle for student success!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email or call me at Patton.  
Thank you for your time,
Mrs. Betina Faught

Please make sure your student has access to a SCIENTIFIC Calculator!.
We will be calculating rational and irrational numbers, scientific notation, cubed roots, etc.  While I will teach the students the process and how to find these values with out a calculator, I would like the opportunity to teach the students how to use their calculators efficiently.  The one pictured above is very similar to the calculators students are provided in class.  I am able to check a calculator out to students, they may request one in class. This is the same format that will auto populate on their state assessments.
Thank you for your time and support,
Mrs. Faught

IXL - Kansas eighth-grade math standards

Here is a PDF that should allow students to click on the link to take them to their IXL web pages to practice the math skills that align to their GoMath books.
Looking back through the first 3 quarters, students should be able to pick the topics they need to review the most.
This will increase each students math skills in the areas they most need it.
It is recommended that students strive to score an 80 Smart Score on their assignments, striving for 100 increases student frustration and dislike of the program.  If they miss one question is drops their score drastically.
Please use this as a resource to increase proficiency and skills, again a Smart Score of 80 please.
Thank you
Mrs. Faught
