"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE THE TRACE!!!"

Welcome to 6th Grade Math. I hope you all had a great Summer. I also hope the transition to middle school is memoriable and seamless. I expect and look forward to a great 2008-2009 school year!!!!

We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably
he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

Homework

Homework is listed on the board daily. Students are to write all assignments in their Tequesta Trace agendas. When there is an excused absence, the student has two (2) days to make up the missed assignment. It is the student's responsibility to get the assignment from the board or the calendar and turn it in within two days of the excused absence.

Please click on the calendar link to the left to view current assignments and information on upcoming tests and quizzes. Please be advised, partial credit is not given for late/unexcused assignments, no exceptions.

HOW CAN I GET THE MOST CREDIT FOR MY MATH ASSIGNMENTS?

1. Make sure all work is done in PENCIL, red pens are for corrections only).
2. All work must have a proper heading, i.e., name,date, page and number(s). Mid chapter tests, quizzes         and chapter tests must have a title.
3. All work must be numbered down the page and each page may only have at most two columns.
4. All notes and homework assignments must be completed IN YOUR SPIRAL.
5. When doing homework or tests, you must
        *First write down the problem (you do not have to write out word problems).
        *Under the problem, you must show all steps used to solve the problem. NO WORK-NO CREDIT.
         Keep in mind, the more work you show for a problem, the better chance you will have of receiving          partial credit.
        *Finally, write your answer under the work and circle, box or highlight your answer.
