Math Homework, Quizzes and Tests Math homework will be assigned for every section.   Homework is due the day after it has been assigned. Students should write their homework in their agenda. I  will also post it on my website and send home a text  reminder.  Homework can be submitted on line   https://www.bigideasmath.com/ Students need to submit when completed.  All answers and any work  done to solve the problem should be written in their math notebook. Late Work:  Late work will be allowed occasionally for partial credit.   Retakes: There will be a test at the end of each Chapter.  I will allow retakes if a students earns below 70%.  However, the highest grade that can be earned on a retake is 70%.  The ultimate goal is that the material is learned.
