Dear
Parent(s),
The best way to study math is to work problems.
Reading over past work is not enough. Students should work review problems and
re-work quiz problems when preparing for the test. Vocabulary is an essential
component to learning math; therefore attention should be given to vocabulary.
Organizational skills are necessary
for learning mathematics. Organization begins with keeping an up-to-date
structured notebook. It continues with learning to show all work in a neat and
organized manner. I will encourage the use of these strategies during our
class.
Extra help is available before school Tuesday
through Friday unless I have a meeting. Please encourage your child to attempt all
homework problems and to ask for help when needed. It is crucial to ask for
help immediately because minor confusion and misunderstandings that are left
uncorrected become bigger problems that are more difficult to correct.
Students who are in ISS are not considered absent. They are missing class and are responsible
for the work. They should come in for
extra help on the morning of ISS so as not to get behind.
When
students are out of class for any reason- absent, field trips, ISS, etc. they
are to go to my website to check the assignment for the day. My website is: http://milani-geometry.blogspot.com/. This class is too difficult for any student
to get behind; therefore I would appreciate your involvement in this matter.
Please
