Homework • Math is a subject in which homework is essential for knowledge retention. Expect your child to have homework every night. • Most homework assignments will be workbook pages. If a student loses the workbook page, the student will be responsible for going to the textbook webpage (www.glencoe.com) or the link from my website (http://www.pearlandisd.org/webpages/ambrol/) and printing out the appropriate workbook page. I will NOT have extra copies.
Mini-Quizzes Mini-quizzes will be given over homework assignments. We will check/go over the homework in class the day it is due, then take a mini-quiz. Students may use the homework to take the mini-quiz and it will be turned in together. The homework will count as 20% of the mini-quiz grade. A full 20% will be given if the homework is completed (right or wrong) with ALL work shown.
