1) Homework helps you practice new and review problems. By practicing them, you can determine if you know a topic well, or if you need to get extra help on it before a test. Sometimes you may feel you understand a topic in class, but you find out that you don't understand the problems when you try to do them on your own.
2) Review sheets are homework that is given right before an assessment. They have questions similar to those that you will see on your test. By doing the review sheet, you can see different ways questions are worded or presented that you may not have seen before. Doing and correcting review sheets are an ideal way to study for an exam.
3) Completing homework on time is an easy way to boost your overall math grade. Remember that homework completed on time is worth 1 point, late homework receives a maximum grade of 1/2 point, and incomplete homework is a 0.
4) If you are an Algebra II student on the homework wall for the majority of the quarter, you will have a quiz grade equivalent to 100% (number of points to be determined each quarter) added into your average. This will ultimately result in a better overall math grade for the quarter.
