How to Get the Grade You Want in Math Class
Suggestions for improvement.
- Bring all math materials to class: pencil, calculator, notebook and math packets. For geometry you need a protractor.
- Try to do Warm-ups and Try This -problems on your own.
- Write down notes including examples that are given in class and read over them at night.
- Use your book and notes as a resource to help you with your homework.
- Do homework completely (to the best of your ability) when assigned.
- Correct homework in class with a different color, so you can study your mistakes later.
- Each day redo the previous day’s homework problems a second time. Make sure you know how to do every problem.
- Get help from after school tutors and ask questions in class about problems you do not understand.
- Study for quizzes and tests by redoing homework assignments, especially problems you got wrong and corrected in a different color.
- Keep all notes, homework, graded quizzes and tests organized in a folder or binder.
- Check posted grades weekly to make sure you have credit for all the work you did and be sure to turn in work you may have missed because of absences.
- If you are unhappy with your grade go have a conversation with your teacher about what can be done to improve your grade!
