Math is Easy as Pi
HELP, MY GRADES ARE HERE! WHAT CAN I DO TO IMPROVE?
Check Schoology to determine what is causing the low grade. Is it because of missing assignments, is it because of a low quiz or test scores? What can you do?
MISSING HOMEWORK:
Students should make sure they are doing and turning in their homework on time. Late homework will not be accepted.
Homework serves several purposes:
- It is a safe time to practice the skills that are being taught in class without penalty for making mistakes.
- It is an opportunity for students to ask clarifying questions if they are not understanding a concept.
- It is an opportunity to LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES before the concepts are quizzed or tested.
LOW QUIZ/TEST SCORES:
A low score on a quiz or a test is the result of several possible factors.
- Students have not been doing the homework.
- Students have not been asking questions about the homework.
- Students have not been preparing for quizzes or tests by studying/reviewing.
Ways to get help:
- Make sure to focus and participate during class.
- Ask questions when you do not understand a topic or a process.
- Come to study groups. You can go to any study groups for help.
- Review your classwork, homework, quizzes and test errors in order to LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.
- Make sure you are studying and practicing at home.
- Learning does not happen by observing, you must be an active participant in your education.
