Dear
Parent(s),
The best way to study math is to work problems. Reading
over past work is not enough. Students should work review problems and re-work
quiz problems when preparing for the test. Students
will not be allowed to retake quizzes or tests. Vocabulary is an essential component to
learning math; therefore attention should be given to vocabulary daily.
Organizational skills are
necessary for learning mathematics. Organization begins with keeping an
up-to-date structured notebook. It continues with learning to show all work in
a neat and organized manner, I will encourage the use of these strategies
during our class.
Extra help
is available before school Tuesday through Thursday and after school by
appointment. Please encourage your child to attempt all
homework problems and to ask for help when needed. It is crucial to ask for
help immediately because minor confusion and misunderstandings that are left
uncorrected become bigger problems that are more difficult to correct.
When
students are out of class for any reason- absent, field trips, ISS, etc. they
are to go to my website to check the assignment for the day. My website is: http://milani-algebra2.blogspot.com/ . This
class is too rigorous for any student to get behind; therefore I would
appreciate your involvement in this matter.
