Assignments & Redos

All work is due during class!

For Success, Be On Time!

High school math is a skill that must be practiced regularly. The students who stay current with their assignments are the students who succeed. Always submit your assignments on time, even if they are incomplete. Do not wait until every problem is finished. An incomplete assignment is far more valuable in this class than a missing assignment because it keeps you practicing, allows the teacher to give feedback, and gives you more options for success.

Assignment Headers

Assignment headers are MANDATORY for all work. Each header must include: YOUR NAME, ASSIGNMENT NAME, and DUE DATE. If the assignment is a redo, then you must also include the word 'REDO'. Paper assignments must have this info clearly written. You may also include extra details like the assignment description.

Student Name

Student names are required on every assignment. Be sure to include at least the first letter of your last name

Assignment Names

Assignment names are required for every assignment and provide a short, unique identifier. Descriptions are optional. Don’t confuse the two. In the example graphic, names are shown in red and descriptions in black.

Due Date

Every assignment must have the official due date at the top. Do not list the assigned or turned-in date. Redos must also show the original due date, even if submitted later.

Redo Assignments

When submitting a redo, include the word "REDO" in the assignment header to clearly identify it. Example:

SHOW YOUR WORK!

Showing your work is required for full credit. Every problem must include the required work, which will be graded. Requirements vary by problem type (see examples below). Your work should clearly show your reasoning, not just the final answer. Keep your papers organized so each problem is easy to read. Clear, organized work is an important professional skill used in many careers—not just math.

1. Given Information

Write the starting equation or problem statement.
List all key information provided.
Draw a diagram if helpful.
Make a chart or table to organize information.
Write formulas needed for the problem.

2. Step-by-Step Process

Show each step in your calculations or reasoning.
Line up the steps and the equal signs to make the progression clear.
Use arrows or other markers to show the flow of logic.
Include notes or short explanations for why you performed each step.

3. Draw Conclusion

Check that your answer addresses the question asked.
For word problems, respond with a complete sentence or phrase.
Include units where relevant.
Circle or highlight the final answer.

WARNING: Work that is turned-in with only the answers written will NOT receive credit!

Organizing your Homework Paper

In addition to showing your work, you must organize each problem on your paper. Above you will see an example what your homework paper should look like. This style is required. NOTE: the horizontal lines between the problems. They are required!

Redo Policy

If you earn less than 100% on independent work, you may redo only the problems you missed and upload a new scan along with your original scan to earn full credit. If you delete the original scan, you must redo all problems. Redos can be repeated, but you must meet all requirements (see below). It is your responsibility for following the rules.

Requirements for Homework Redo Privilege:

The ± Indicator - Redos are only for independent work assignments. These assignments can be easily recognized as they start with a ± code in RenWeb.
On Time - The original assignment must either have been done ON TIME or be excused late.
Better than 0% - To redo an assignment, you must have scored more than 0% on the original.
1-Month Limit - You can redo an assignment multiple times, but all redos must be completed within one month of the original due date (by the same day number). If that day doesn’t exist in the next month (e.g., the 31st), or if it falls on a day school is not in session, submit by the last school day before the deadline. Redos are NEVER due on non-school days.
New Sheet - Redos must be done on a new blank sheet and stapled to the front of the previous assignment(s).
Semester Redo Deadline - All redos must be submitted by 5:00 PM on the last Friday before the semester final exam. This overrides the 1-month limit.
