Math is a very complex subject, and it isimportant that the skills learned in class are reinforced as soon as possible. It is usually helpful to doyour homework in a quiet, well lit place with minimal distraction. It is also helpful to set up a routine ofdoing your homework at a certain time each day. If you keep up with your math homework, the class willbe easier and your grade will benefit.We have tutoring available:Tutoring is available before and after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday from 2.45- 3.30.You can also make arrangements with your regular math teacher for help before or after school. Help isalways just a question away. Don’t be shy.If you are planning to go to the U of A or Pima College, you will need to take a placement test for yourmath classes. This is a comprehensive test so it is important that you study before the exam. There willbe material on the test that you may not have worked with for quite awhile. See a math teacher if youneed help. All you have to do is ask.- Michael McGlynn, Math Department ChairTROJAN UPDATE December, 2011 Page 13
