Bellwork

• Bellwork gives you a snapshot EACH day of

what you will see on the Chapter Test and/or the Final Exam.

• Every day you are being prepared for the final

and it is YOUR responsibility to keep the bellwork problems to study for the final in December.

you SHOULD know for the new day’s lesson.

Notebook

• Looseleaf paper (no ripped portions on the

paper from a spiral notebook)

• Dividers used to separate Bellwork,

Notes, Homework, Classroom Info, and Misc.

• Notebook Grades will be given during the

semester based on the quality of the notes and organization of your binder.

Previous Night’s HW

• You must be READY to ask questions

immediately after Bellwork. If I have to wait for you to figure out which questions you need to ask, then we will move right to the new lesson.

• We will spend no more than 10 minutes on

the previous night’s HW. If you need additional help, you’ll need to get help

• utside of class time.

Homework

• Do HW each night to be ready for the next

day’s lesson.

• Check the answers to your homework AS

you work the problems.

• Review the previous lessons notes.

in class on problems you attempted but did could not get the correct answer.

New Lesson

examples and then allowing you to try.

complete the homework assignments
