Students who do very well in Math 10/20/30 Pure almost always:
- Keep a neat notebook, with notes organized by topic.
- Attempt all the homework, every day.
- Copy notes and try (not copy) the missed homework, after they return from an absence.
- Correct the homework completely. Difficulties are starred, and asked about.
- Do some questions from every 'group' the in textbook homework assignment, before
class is over, so they've tried all the types while the teacher is present to help.
- Come in after school for help with difficulties whenever necessary.
- Teach others.
- Complete the Unit Review assignment (given out at the start of the unit) at least by the day
before it is due, so they can ask for help.
- Attend regularly. (If you miss 4 days a month, you'll be absent for 20% of the course, and
your chances of doing well are slim).
- Do the entire exam review assignment early enough to leave lots of time for help.
- Attend every after-school exam review session.
The main reasons why students do poorly in Math 10/20/30:
- homework not done (often)
- absent a lot
- exam review done poorly, and little help sought.
