Math homework policy: Math will be due the following school day so we can go over the answers in class and discuss any questions or areas of difficulty. This is homework, it does not need to be perfect but it does need to be quality work. I will do my best not to send too much homework at one time so if your child finishes early please have them practice any quick facts like multiplication, division, or anything they need a bit more practice with. If you feel like your child needs more practice items please do not hestiate to ask!

OTHER:
There will also be pop quizzes. These will be timed for either a minute or two depending upon how many questions there are. This is meant to encourage the students to practice their automaticity of facts.
Great games to play at home to help are simple cards games. A game where you each flip over one card and add the two cards together as quickly as possible and whom ever gets it correct the quickest wins the cards. You can do this with subtraction and multiplication as well.
I do not collect or keep practice or homework pages. After I check them off in the morning we go over all of the answers and students are encouraged to bring the pages home to use to study or practice as needed for the upcoming chapter test. See test dates below. After every chapter we will have a review day where we will practice and I may give hints about what will be on the test. As the year continues, there will be little pop quizzes with maybe three questions from prior tests to make sure students are retaining the information.
