HomeworkMath is a subject in which homework is

essential for knowledge retention. Expect your child to have homework every night.

Most homework assignments will be workbook pages. If a student loses the workbook page, the student will be responsible for going to the textbook webpage (www.glencoe.com) or the link from my website (http://www.pearlandisd.org/webpages/ambrol/) and printing out the appropriate workbook page. I will NOT have extra copies.

Mini-quizzes will be given over homework assignments. We will check/go over the homework in class the day it is due, then take a mini-quiz. Students may use the

homework to take the mini-quiz and it will be turned in together. The homework will count as 20% of the mini-quiz grade. A full

20% will be given if the homework is completed (right or wrong) with ALL work

shown.

Advanced/Honors MathStudents in Honors Math are learning 7th grade material and will be taking the 7th grade STAAR test this year.

TutoringTutoring is available Tuesday through

Friday mornings at 8:00 a.m. There is a Math teacher assigned for each day of the week. Tuesday: Ambro Wednesday: Bischof Thursday: Flowers Friday: Stevenson/Jordan
