Homework Management
A good homework management plan can streamline the process, maximize usefulness, and
encourage student involvement. The plan offered here focuses on:
• Student Ownership
• Teacher led discussion
• Quality, not quantity
• Balanced-concepts, skills, and problem solving
• Daily Feedback
• Analysis, not just checked
• Progress Graphs

HSP Math offers the following resources for homework management:


■ Suggested Homework Problems, recommended problems circled in the

Teacher’s Edition
■ Rationale Card in the Teacher’s Edition for easy reference and rationale to

suggested homework problems


■ Progress Graphs for students to chart progress throughout the week

Suggested Homework Problems are on each worksheet. The suggested problems have
been carefully selected because they are a good representation of the problems in the day’s
lesson. No more than 10 problems are suggested for each lesson.

A Rationale Card provides the rationale behind the suggested problem chosen. You can
review the rationale to evaluate which problems best suit your students’ needs before you
assign homework.

Progress Graphs are provided for students as a template to use with the suggested
homework problems that may be assigned. Students shade the double-bar graph each day
to demonstrate the progress they make on their suggested homework assignments
throughout the week. The left bar reflects the total number of problems that are assigned.
The right bar reflects the total number of problems the student got correct. After you write
the answers on the chalkboard, students check their own homework during the morning
routine while you circulate the room to review their papers. Homework is assigned Monday
through Thursday only, so at the end of the week students can analyze their own work by
writing two sentences about their progress. The graphs can also be placed in student
portfolios for parent/teacher conferences. A sample graph is shown below. The template is
provided on the next page.
