How to Be Successful in Math Class

Prepare for a successful class every day

 Be on time

 Bring class supplies - fully charged Chromebook, math binder, notebook paper, pencils, etc.

 Bring completed practice work

 Have a positive attitude, participate, ask questions, take risks, and try your best.

Practice Work Completion

 Complete every question assigned in pencil and keep in your binder until the end of the Unit. Circle or box your final answer. Turn in any assignments due.

 Show all of your work like it was modeled in class.

 Check answers for the assigned questions when done incorrectly and seek help immediately if you cannot figure it out.

 With your marking pen, correct any mistakes that you made. Try to find your mistake and make the corrections. You have within 3 days from the time the assignment was due to make corrections for a better score (if the assignment is posted on HAC.)

 Record the number of problems that you solved incorrectly at the top of the page.

 Your goal is to try your best.

 If you are having difficulty or are doing poorly, you need to attend as many tutorials as available, so that you get caught up in your math understanding.

 Keep your practice work organized.

 Copy class notes and examples completed in class into your composition notebook or binder.

Prepare for tests

 Use the study guide to help narrow your studying.

 Look over quizzes and homework. Try those problems again, especially the ones you got wrong the first time.

 Start studying and reviewing at least 3 days prior to the test.

 Ask your teacher about any mistakes or concepts that you still have trouble with at least 2 days prior to the test.

Believe in yourself. You are smart, and you can succeed in math!
