Homework

Homework is critically important to succeed in mathematics. I expect you to complete each assignment to the best of your ability. Homework is graded on a "best effort" basis. This means you get credit for the assignment even if you got stuck and could not finish. But remember, you are expected to know the material before any quiz or test, so make sure you get help to work through any problems that were difficult or that you could not finish. Homework is due on the day listed in your weekly assignment sheet, but the entire weekly assignment packet will be turned in on Fridays so I can record your scores in the grade book. If all of your homework has been turned in, then you are eligible for the 100% Club. Club members have earned the right to skip one question on a test or quiz (if they need to) by being responsible and showing their commitment to math by turning in all of their homework.

Homework Policy

• Be neat, show all work, done in pencil.
• Have a proper Hoover Heading, with assignment title.
• Be properly corrected. We spend class time on the day the assignment is due to correct and review assignments.(Another reason to not fall behind.)
  
• Have your assignment sheet completely filled out.
• Have the assignments stapled behind the assignment sheet in date order (oldest assignment on top, newest assignment on bottom).

Homework, classwork, and projects are listed in the calendar on the date they are due. Quizzes and tests are listed in the calendar on the date they are given.

Textbook Help

Click on the textbook above and type in the keyword from the textbook to view online resources (you will need to scroll down on the page to find the "Go resources" search box). For example, to obtain on-line help for section 1-5 simply type in "MA8CA 1-5" as the keyword to access videos, instructions, and extra examples. The keywords all start with MA8CA, the "1-5" refers to section 1-5 in the textbook. To obtain online help for section 5-6, enter "MA8CA 5-6" as the keyword. The keyword "MA8CA Parent" will show written resources for all chapters, simply select the desired chapter (the "parent" resources do not include videos, just quick overviews of the topic with a few examples).
