Math+Homework+Policy

Math homework is for practicing and reinforcing what we learned in class. I will assign usually just enough for students to get good at it, or to know what they need help with. It will be based on what took place in class that day. Homework will usually be given on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It should take about 10 to 20 minutes per night. __** Expectations: **__ Homework is how we study in Math. It should be done completely, thoughtfully, and mindfully, with the purpose of learning, improving, and mastering, and not simply to “be all done”. Do not “multitask” (talk, do in the middle of a different lesson, etc.) with homework. Homework will be posted on the board, and will usually be due the next day. To make your backpack lighter, Math textbooks will be kept in the classroom. Assignments from the math textbook can be torn out and taken home in your homework envelope in the math Journal. Be sure to tear out and take home the lesson pages with examples, as well as the pages with the homework problems. **All problems, work, calculations, etc. should be done in the Math journal**, following any notes you have taken on the lesson. Mark any problems you have trouble with, or questions about. __** Homework Non-Completion: **__ Parents may be notified, by way of conduct folder work habits section, email, text, and may receive an “N” on “completes homework” on the report card, if this is a pattern. The parent communication is also to make sure that the right information is being communicated from teacher, to child, to parent. If, however, life gets in the way, or night gets too late, for whatever reason, a parent note or email is good enough to make an accommodation.
