HOMEWORK TIPS

• REMEMBER YOUR HEADER (NAME, DATE, CLASS, ASSIGNMENT)
  
  

• TRY EVERY PROBLEM (DON’T LEAVE THEM BLANK; SHOW WHAT YOU DID TO TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT)
  
  

• GO BACK AND RE-READ VOCABULARY WORDS IN BOLD AND THEIR DEFINITIONS
  
  

• READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY; LOOK FOR HINTS (LIKE ‘THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE CORRECT ANSWER’) 
  
  

• CHECK YOUR ANSWERS IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK; USE ANSWERS TO ODD NUMBER PROBLEMS TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT SIMILAR EVEN NUMBERED PROBLEMS
  
  

• FIND SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE EXAMPLES FROM THE READING; 
  
  

• GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR NOTES FROM THE READING AND FROM IN CLASS
  
  

• GO BACK AND FIX ANY ANSWERS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU HAND IT IN; REMEMBER TO SHOW ALL YOUR WORK
  
  

• IS IT NEAT (AND DONE IN PENCIL)?  IS IT COMPLETE (TRIED EVERY PROBLEM; INCLUDED YOUR HEADER)?  IS IT ACCURATE (MOSTLY CORRECT)?
