3. Success: Preview the lesson
Read the lesson the night before to get familiar with the vocabulary and the type of problems that will be assigned.
The students have the assignment sheet so they know what the next lesson will be.

4. Write the problems out. This is another way to preview the lesson.
The student will be familiar with the type of problems.
Look at the examples in the book to know how many lines to skip.
If there is time in class for homework, the students will have more more time to work on the problems than writing out the problems.

5. After the lesson: Explain the concept to someone… anyone!
Redo the problems from the notes.
Brainstorm everything you remember from class (either written or verbally).

6. Homework/Assignment:
Use the notes taken in class.
Check answers on edmodo.com.
Redo the problems that were missed.
Put questions on the board in class the next day.
Be prepared for homework check with full solutions and correct answers.
Students are given at least two days for each assignment.

7. Notes: Print them BEFORE the lesson. Preview them.
Review them often (not just the night before).
Add to them.

8. Before the test: Practice problems from: Homework Notes Classzone.com
Create your own test and exchange with a classmate.
Review directions.

9. Day of test: Come prepared! With calculator and batteries
Pencil and eraser
Highlighter
Read ALL directions before starting test.
Do the problems you know first.
Be mindful of the time.

10. Tests:
Are meant to test students ability to apply what they have learned, not just memorized and recall.
Do not go home. If a student wants to spend more time with the test, make an appointment to go over it with me (great use of Office Hours!)
If a student takes all tests, he/she will be given the opportunity to retake the lowest TEST.
