Math 6
Ms. Kirk

We will be using the Houghton Mifflin

Harcourt Texas Go Math textbook. Students
should receive their textbook during the first
week of school. There is an online version of
the textbook that can be accessed through
the link on Edmodo. There are many
additional resources available in the online
version of the textbook.

Late Work Policy

Points will be deducted as follows:
1 Day Late 10 points
2 Days Late 20 points
3 Days Late 30 points
4 or more Days Late
student will receive a 0.
As a rule of thumb, I do not accept incomplete
work and it will be returned to the student for
completion.

Homework Policy
Homework will be posted in class and on Edmodo.
Homework is your opportunity to practice. Just like the
best athletes have to practice, so do the best
mathematicians!

Homework will be given daily.

Your homework will be graded weekly as part

of your MATH IAN.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work
hard. ~Kevin Durant

schedule time for extra help. Extra help is available before
school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:45 am -8:15am. We
