Homework
DO YOU HAVE YOUR TEXTBOOKS YET???   Bring a USB to have them downloaded.

On the Mathletics site (www.mathletics.com) the only available options are the topics under instruction.   Students should be using the Mathletics site to revise, practice and improve their skills.   All students are expected to log on to this site outside of school hours to practice topic skills.
Another good site for revision of classwork is http://www.mathsonline.com.au
Notes, examples and exercises should be read over every night to improve understanding.
I would encourage all students to revise their work every night, and to pay attention to hints and revision sheets that are distributed in class.
Assignments should be completed on time.
