This page will answer questions commonly asked by students and parents.
1. Will there be homework nightly?
Yes. In the connected math program we follow in order to practice the concepts we are learning in class it is necessary to assign homework problems on a daily basis. They will vary in number but should take 30 minutes or less per night to complete. This will vary by student but if it is taking much longer than that please let me know.For science most of our work will be done in the classroom but some special projects and I Wonder reports will be completed at home.Back to Top

2. How can I help my child with their homework?
If you have internet access the connected math program is supported through the following websites:http://connectedmath.msu.edu/www.phschool.com/cmp2/The first site is run by the connected math program developers (in academia) and the second site through Prentice Hall, the publisher. Check them both out and see which one works best for you. They both provide "refreshers" on the concepts we are covering and answers to selected homework problems.Back to Top
