Homework is usually assigned Monday through Thursday. Math textbooks are to be kept at home. When it is necessary to have the text brought back to school, plenty of notice will be given. Books should be covered, even when kept at home. The textbook can be used as a resource book when it is not being used for homework assignments. A downloadable sheet of graph paper is available here Graph paper. An online version of the textbook is available. The online textbook can be accessed once an account has been set up at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com |
