Math Homework

We started Unit 1 in Math today. Today I'm sending home a Study Link packet for the first unit. It will be due on the day of the Unit 1 math test which is yet to be determined. I recommend that students complete each study link on the day I teach the corresponding lesson; however, I understand all students have various schedules and this might not be practical. I don't want your child to complete all of the homework right away because I haven't taught most of the lessons. I also really don't want your child to complete all of the homework on the night before the test because that defeats the purpose of the homework as well. (The purpose being to enforce and practice the concepts and skills learned in school).

I will post the days we complete each math lesson in class on my Moodle Website. (See previous blog for more information on this. If you need help, please come into school and I will help you.)

All families should have a Family Letter packet which includes each unit we will cover this year. These Family Letters include the answer key for each Study Link. I highly recommend that you check your child's answers after he/she completes each Study Link. (Your child can do this independently if you feel as though he/she is really doing the math and not just copying down the answers). This way you and your child can see if he/she is understanding the mathematical concepts being taught. You and your child can use the Student Reference Book for help or your child can come get help from me at school.

Students are to keep their math homework in their binders under the "math" section (number 4). I will periodically check students' binders in order to ensure their work is being done in a timely manner.
