Conceptual Understanding Procedural Skill & Fluency Application Preparation for Standardized Tests
• Teach more than “how to get the answer”
and instead support students’ ability to
access concepts from a number of
perspectives.
• Students are able to see math as more than
a set of mnemonics or discrete procedures.
• Conceptual understanding supports the
other aspects of rigor (fluency and
application).• The Standards require speed and accuracy
in calculation.
• Teachers structure class time and/or
homework time for students to practice
core functions so that they are more able to
understand and manipulate more complex
concepts. Solve real-world problems with a degree of
difficulty appropriate to the grade/course.
Apply knowledge and skills, extending to more
complex problems, knowledge and skills
articulated in previous grades/courses
Engage in modeling practice through:
◦ making sense of problems & persevering to solve them
◦ reasoning abstractly and quantitatively
◦ using appropriate tools strategically
◦ looking for and making use of structure
◦ looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning PARCC Algebra 1

In conjunction with NJ State law, the River Dell Board of Ed. has established a policy which requires each student be present in class a minimum of 90% of the time in order to receive credit for a course.
A student will lose credit in a course or courses if he or she reaches the following number of absences: 9 absences in a one semester course 18 absences in a full year course All excused and unexcused absences are included in a student’s attendance record. Students may appeal a loss of credit based on reason for the absences.
In the case of excessive absences, the
assistant principal or designee will carefully
review attendance records at the conclusion
of each quarter of the school year and meet
with those students who have accumulated
excessive absences.
Parents of these students will be informed of
absences on a bimonthly basis through an
attendance letter. Comprised of the principal, assistant
principal, director of pupil personnel services,
nurse and teacher.
Review cases of each student whose
attendance violations appear to warrant the
loss of credit for a course or courses.
Provide the student with an opportunity to
appeal his or her loss of credit by presenting
documentary evidence in support of the
appeal.A copy of the Attendance Policy can be found on the schools website. www.riverdell.org
