7. How Homework is turned in Geometry At the start of each chapter you will receive the work for the whole chapter. 70% of the assignments must be complete for you to be ABLE to take the test. Assignments are 10 points in and will go into the gradebook as a single assignment.

8. How homework is collected in Alg. III Each Friday there will be a single assignment collected at random. This means you never know which assignment from the week is collected but only one is collected. It is work 10 points.

9. Let’s take a break… In the next several slide you will see different pictures. Sometimes I will ask you to draw what you saw, or to talk to your table. The idea is to show you we all learn differently and see things different as well.
