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:

1. It is a safe time to practice the skills that are being taught in class without penalty for making mistakes.
2. It is an opportunity for students to ask clarifying questions if they are not understanding a concept.
3. 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.

1. Students have not been doing the homework.
2. Students have not been asking questions about the homework.
3. Students have not been preparing for quizzes or tests by studying/reviewing.

Ways to get help:

1. Make sure to focus and participate during class.
2. Ask questions when you do not understand a topic or a process.
3. Come to study groups. You can go to any study groups for help.
4. Review your classwork, homework, quizzes and test errors in order to LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.
5. Make sure you are studying and practicing at home.
6. Learning does not happen by observing, you must be an active participant in your education.
