Why do I need an Agenda Binder?

The reason we require an Agenda Binder is organization.  It is the one place 
where you will keep your agenda (which you need in every class), your pencil 
case (which you will need in every class), and a folder (a place to put 
papers from every class).  You are less likely to forget supplies or lose 
them if they are all in one place.  :)

How do I organize myself?

First, tape a copy of your schedule to the inside of your locker.  Highlight 
your morning (before lunch) and your afternoon (after lunch) classes in 
DIFFERENT highlighter colors.  Determine how you want to be organized.  Do 
you want 5-6 different binders, or do you want one for the morning and one 
for the afternoon?  Either way, you MUST maintain an Agenda Binder no matter 
what. :)

Why didn't I get my Math Money when I did a Math Depot project?

Students will only receive Math Money when they have finished the project 
completely showing all work.  Work must be done in pencil.  Questions must 
be answered completely and be supported by the information given.  Simply 
stating an opinion will not be enough to earn you your money.  Keep up the 
good work!

Why do I have to do Quiz/Test Corrections?

The purpose of the corrections is for you to physically redo the problem you 
got wrong and come up with the correct solution.  The explanation is for you 
to spend a little time "thinking" about where YOUR mind was at the time you 
were taking the test.  You might think its busy work; I think you will learn 
something from the exercise.  :)
