Math Homework
Directions
Each day a set of problems will come home. They will need to be completed each night and returned to school the next day. Each assignment will consist of standard problems as well as story problems. Sometimes these will come from the text workbook and other times they will be from alternate sources. The goal is to improve problem solving techniques and apply them to real world situations.
Homework Expectation
Homework:
- must be completed on time
- in math must show all work
- must be done in pencil
- final draft paragraphs for writing must be done in pen
- assignments must be reflective of the student's neatest work
A daily record will be kept of completed math homework. A completed assignment does NOT mean that every problem is done correctly or that every problem is completed. A completed math assignment is one where the majority of the problems are completed and ALL OF THE PROBLEMS SHOW AN ATTEMPT AT A SOLUTION
**Occasionally additional homework will be assigned. It may include but is not limited to: incomplete classwork, revisions of writing assignments, science and/or social studies activity pages, and assigned projects.
