Homework is an essential component of the Gifted Math program. It is given nightly and is graded. Students are expected to make every effort to complete homework neatly. Questions & answers will be addressed daily at the beginning of the class. Students are expected to STUDY for tests and not wait for the night before a test. My motto: Every section, every night! TEST = 100 points; Quiz = 25 or 50 points; Homework and Classwork = 10 points; LEAP or ADD = 25 points per week.

8th grade: LEAP homework due on Mondays. LEAP can be found under the Algebra 1 link on the home page.

7th grade: A.D.D. (ARITHMETIC DEVELOPED DAILY) homework due on Fridays. A.D.D. can be found under the Pre-Algebra link on the home page.

Both LEAP & A.D.D. have ACTIV EXPRESSION quizzes weekly.
