Math Works Homework
Homework can be an effective part of your math program - giving students the practice they need to master skills. Below are some Math Works methods for utilizing homework.
Suggested Homework Procedures:
Check homework every night
Give students an opportunity to revise homework
Start the homework assignment together at the beginning or end of class.
Dedicate 10 minutes to going over 2-5 problems that students are having trouble with (they pick some, you pick some). Model how you work through the problems on the board.
Reward students for doing homework and revising it.
Homework Tips:
Homework should consist primarily of skills that students have already been exposed to. Skills should cycle in and out depending on what your students have been taught AND what they have mastered.
Require students to show their work on homework problems, not just write the answer. Give credit only when there is work.
Circulate throughout the classroom while talking about homework problems to be sure students are writing down what you are talking about and are showing work.
At the beginning of the year, homework should consist of skills taught in the previous grade level.
