HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
 

Important: Homework is a big part of your grade. You should do your homework regularly. Homework assignments of the current week are due on the following Friday. Each assignment is worth 2 points. Assignments with answers only without work get zero point. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS ARE ACCEPTED.

SUPPLIES:

A loose leaf notebook with sections for notes, worksheets, homework and tests/quizzes.
Pencils/pens.
A scientific or graphing calculator 

ATTENDANCE:

Good attendance is a critical factor to ensure success in this course. If you must be absent, make up the work as soon as possible. It is YOUR responsibility to find out what work you missed and make it up. 

Should you be absent for a field trip or appointment, please advise me about the absence as soon as possible BEFORE it occurs, so that I can give you any materials you might need to complete your work on time.

BE IN CLASS ON TIME. Failure to do so will result in detentions. When the bell rings you should be in your seat, discussing your homework with your group.

HOMEWORK

Homework assignments will be given every night.  (See homework assignment sheet for specifics)

Homework assignments of the current week will be due on Friday of the following week. Have them ready to turn in at the beginning of the period. A complete homework will receive 2 points, incomplete 1 point. No work no credit!

EXTRA HELP:  

I'm available for math help in the morning or after school but you must arrange with me ahead of time. Look for me in room 213 or the math office. A big source of help is the math center, where a math teacher is on duty almost every period. Take advantage of these great opportunities to get help.

Remember, your success is a direct result of your classroom attitude and the expectations you set for yourself. When you assume that you can't solve a problem and do not give it your best effort, your grades will reflect as such. If you believe in your ability and feel confident and determined when solving problems, your grades will likewise reflect as such. Strict attention to detail and a persistent "never quit" attitude are essential to success in mathematics class. Persist in the course regardless of any difficulties that might arise. Decide now that you will work your hardest and not settle for less than your best.

BOOKS:  

Take GOOD care of them.  Cover your book right away and keep it covered all year.  You will be given an opportunity now to note any previously done damage.  In June your book will be checked carefully and you will be charged for any damage not originally noted by you.
