Tips on How to Succeed in Math

Be in Class - This seems all too obvious, but always remember it is difficult to succeed when behind.
Focus - Activate your mind. Take notes. Ask relevant questions. It is difficult to succeed when distracted.
Be Positive - You have all the necessary tools in your head for success. Tap into them. It is difficult to succeed when negative.
Work Hard - Nothing worthwhile in life ever comes easy. Complete your homework. Study for tests. It is difficult to succeed when lazy.
Be Helpful - One of the best ways to learn is to explain a procedure to someone else. Be friendly. It is difficult to succeed when selfish.
Bring Materials - You NEED to bring your Chromebook, pencil, and notebook (this will include all notes and homework assignments). It is difficult to succeed when empty-handed.
Value Learning - You will have new things to learn the rest of your life - might as well enjoy it. We are constantly learning. It's a lifelong process. It is difficult to succeed when condemning education.

Extra Help

If your child needs extra help with a portion of his or her math class, please encourage them to let their teacher know. Teachers will be glad to assist any student at a time which is suitable for both. Students should advise the teacher of any needs in advance and not wait until the day before a quiz or test to ask for help.
