Math Homework Check-list/Expectations

In order for a homework check to be complete and for you to receive your mark (out of 1) make sure you do the following:
  • Have your name, date and grade on your page (in the top right hand corner)
  • Have the title of the lesson (example 1.1 Divisibility by 10, 5, 2)
  • Under the title write out the goal for the lesson (example: Goal-Create and use divisibility rules to determine if 10, 5, or 2 is a factor of a number)
  • Add any definitions to your "Chapter 1 Glossary"
  • Write the page number
  • Write the number and/or letter of the question
  • Answer the all the questions in pencil (make sure you show your work)
  • Correct your work in a different color pen
  • Put the total # correct/total # of questions (make a note to yourself if there is a question you need help with)
I set these guidelines for your benefit. I hope this will help you organize your notebook and remind you of what you are supposed to be learning.
