For Success, Be On Time!
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.

SHOW YOUR WORK!
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
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!
Scanning your Work
Scanning your Work
Most work is submitted digitally through Google Classroom, which has a built-in scanner.
If you can’t use the built-in scanner, make a PDF scan of your work.
No smart device? Bring your work to Mr. Burton—he can scan it and email it to your Chromebook for upload.
Good scans matter: Make sure scans are clear, readable, upright (portrait), and not blurry or upside-down. You are responsible for ensuring your scans are easy to read.
Redo Policy
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:
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 blank sheet of paper in your notebook.
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.
