Homework  

Homework will be posted on my website weekly. Please check for any projects or activities that have been assigned. The outline for projects will be sent home in the Notice Folders.

1. Problem of the Week/Problème de la semaine:          

Every Monday the students will receive a new Problem of the Week which will be due on Friday. The students must follow the Three Read Strategy found below in order to solve the problem. They will be marked not just on the answer but mostly on the process they have used to work through the problem.

Step 1: 1st Read: Visualize - After choosing a problem and reading it, draw a picture to represent the images you ‘see’ in the problem.

Step 2: 2nd Read: Gather the facts - After reading the problem for a second time, identify the facts or details that you need in order to solve the problem.  Record the facts.

 Step 3: 3rd Read: Check the facts - During the 3rd read, check the facts.  Make sure you understand the question.  Record the question.

Step 4: Solve the problem! Show your work and explain your thinking.

Step 5: Clearly state the answer to the question.

 

2. Incomplete Daily Work:        

Students are required to finish incomplete class work at home.

 

3. Projects and Tests:             

At times the students will have projects and tests to work on and study for at home. Please be sure to check agendas and the class calendar to ensure that you are prepared. 

***Please remember that there is always a chance of additional homework being assigned. This may include project work, extra worksheets, writing activities, book reports, or studying for a test.
