Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
How much homework will I have?
Homework is a significant portion of your grade. Practice is critical to success in Math. Therefore, you can expect homework every night. Regular homework should take you about 20 minutes or less if you are concentrating and not getting distracted. I expect you to try your best on each homework. I encourage you to help each other, but copying someone�s work is cheating. It is wrong! If you are caught cheating, both papers will count as a zero that cannot be made up.Back to Top
Homework will be graded as follows: 4 (100%) everthing complete, all work shown, neat, corrected in class 3 (75%) Most problems complete, most work shown , neat, but not totally corrected in class. 1 ( 25%) only answers, missing a lot of work, not neat. 0 (0%) not doneBack to Top
