FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How do I know if my student has a homework assignment or an upcoming test or quiz?
A: All assignments, quizzes, and tests are listed each week on http://new.schoolnotes.com/xpages/view/5643. Students should also be able to tell you this information!
Q: How is my child's math grade computed?
A: Homework makes up 25% of the overall math grade. Tests and quizzes are 70% of the overall grade. A Math Journal is 5% of the overall grade. The math journal consists of class warm-ups and notes. These will be checked each test day.
Q: How long should my student be spending on their math homework?
A: Depending on how well the student knows their math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) Math 6 students should spend 5-25 minutes on math homework each night. Pre-Algebra students should expect to spend 20-60 minutes on math homework each night. If you notice your child is spending a great deal of time more than this, please contact me so we can discuss solution strategies.
