What if I don't understand my math HW?

Look in your math notebook.  Your notes will have step by step 
instructions 
and an example.  If you're still not sure, call a reliable friend 
to help or 
ask an adult or older sibling at home.

Can I make up missing work?

evaluation 
purposes only.

How can I practice for a math chapter test?

Read through your math notebook and practice example problems on 
scrap 
paper.  Be sure to do the review homework that was assigned.  
Perhaps have an 
adult or older sibling at home check it over.

What is the best way to prepare for the NYS math assessment?

Of course the best practice is to pay attention all year in math 
class!  
Seriously!  Another way to practice throughout the year is the 
Castle 
Learning Online site (formerly School Island).  Use your LMS user 
name and 
password.
