Guidelines

Homework is an extension of the
classroom and is used to assess the
student’s understanding of the topics
presented.

20 - 30 Minutes Daily
Grading

A homework grade is earned for the
timely completion of assignments.
 Late
assignments will be accepted
and graded, yet tardy work will be
detrimental to the overall homework
grade.
How to Help your Child
“I need help.”
Prompt and Question:
 Does this remind you of other problems?
 What have you come up with so far?
 Where do you think you should start?
 What is the problem asking you to do?
 Would drawing a picture or diagram help?
 How can I help you without solving it for
you?

Higher Levels of Thinking
The value of a problem is not so much
coming up with the answer as in the ideas
and attempted ideas it forces on the
would-be solver." -- I.N. Herstein
