Tonight's Homework: Mathathon Worksheet

Note: If students have questions they cannot answer, they can come to Ms. M's room from 7 - 7:35 AM each morning for tutoring/homework assistance.

Today we had 83% of students turn in their homework. Not bad, but we are shooting for a 100% turn-in rate! Whenever all of the students turn in homework, every student in the class receives $20 in Moretti Money.
