Dec. 17: All Periods

Homework for those who got 7 or more wrong on the times table test:

Write a note that explains what you will be doing to make sure you pass the next test:

Be Specific
- Quantify your answer. This means you can measure what you do.
Wrong Example: I will try harder.
This cannot cannot be checked, because what constitutes trying harder.
Good Example: I will study my times tables 15 minutes every other day.
This is easy to check, either you spent 15 minutes or not.

Be Truthful
Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear, but what you will do to make it better.

Sign it - it’s like a contract between you and me on what will do.
