2. Make sure your child is using the assignment book. 
    Something  should always be written on a daily basis for math.

3. Your child's math book should be home EVERY night!!! 
    Even if the assignment gets done in school, your child  
    needs to address previous errors made, complete practice quizzes
    (odd exercises are great for this), summarize lessons, formulate questions 
     to be asked in class...a little bit of practice each night goes a long way!

4.  If needed, check your child's assignments nightly and help to organize
     the notebook.  The homework should be easy to find in class.

5.  It is imperative that your child completes and understands all  
     homework assignments.  Mathematics builds on itself and if your child 
     misses just one concept, it could prevent him/her from achieving 
     their desired goals.

6.  Make sure that in the case your child is absent from school, 
     that he/she completes and turns over to me, any missed assignments.  
     A fellow classmate can help by informing your child of  the specific
     missed assignments (make sure they have the name and phone number).

7.  Look for one graded  quiz/test per week. 

8.  Tests will be announced one week in advance and quizzes at least 
     three days in advance, unless it is a pop quiz.  Check Wiki for a listing.  
     Make sure your child is preparing daily for upcoming evaluations.

9.  Provide for a focused study time, free of TV, radio, and telephone 
    (supervise and assist during this time if necessary).

10. Questioning is a very important part of learning.  Encourage your 
      child to ask in class if a concept is not fully understood. There is 
      always time for relevant student questions.

11. Encourage your child to seek help if more explanation is needed of a concept.
