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 learn from your 
mistakes and then to apply the correct procedures in order to 
correctly complete the problems.  Simply writing down the correct 
answer on a piece of paper does not generate understanding.  It 
is only through reworking the process and comprehending where you 
went wrong that future mistakes will be avoided.  I do not 
believe in busy work and this exercise has a legitimate purpose 
which will benefit you in the long run. :)
