Homework Routines and Expectations

Frequency and Time

Students should expect math homework every night, including weekends. Students should spend 30 minutes on homework assignments. If students are not finished after 30 minutes, they can stop working and have a parent or guardian sign the assignment to indicate the student spent the expected amount of time.

All homework assignments should be completed neatly on a piece of paper in the HW spiral notebook. In order to receive full credit on their homework, students must have the correct headings, bring the assignment to class on the due-date, and have worked hard for 30 - 40 minutes. If students finish the assignment in significantly less than 30 - 40 minutes, they are expected to work on stretch content, individual explorations or challenging problem-solving practice.

Video Assignments

Some homework assignments will involve students watching a video, taking notes and answering questions presented in the video. The lined paper for these assignments should be set up as shown below.

Worksheet Assignments

On worksheet assignments, students will view the assignment on their Chromebook (or other internet-connected device) and solve the questions on a piece of lined paper. The lined paper for these assignments should be set up as shown below.
