How to Succeed in math

Math homework:

Have a quiet comfortable place to work
Make sure you have the following equipment handy:
* Notebook with today's notes
* Textbook
* Paper and pencils
Homework is the time to practice the skills introduced - you must practice to be successful!
It is not essential that each homework problem be correct - however an honest attempt must be made daily.
Make sure that you have at least one phone buddy- a classmate you can talk to.

Succeed in math:

Take notes in class daily - notes will provide an explanation of what you are expected to know.
Read directions carefully.
Write down each homework problem first, then show all work when solving that particular problem.
Each problem will be modeled in your notes and in your text book for you.
FOLLOW THE EXAMPLES.
Have completed homework with you daily in class and MAKE CORRECTIONS when you go over each answer.
ASK QUESTIONS about anything you did not understand when the homework was reviewed.
Doing and correcting homework is your key to success!
As always ask for extra help when you need it - not just before a test!

Prepare for Tests:

Study from your notebook as well as your textbook
Go over each homework and review class work
Make sure you know how to do each problem - that means
you know the process that enables you to get the answer!
Call a friend or have a study group!
