Digits Expectations and Homework

Chances are your student is coming home with Digits homework tonight.  Here is what you can expect:

1. They will need to go to the Digits website.  It is a link on the left-hand side of my blog, under the math tab.
2. When logging in, all students were given their login and password info at the beginning of the year.  In every class they were instructed to write this down on their internet info sheet that is kept in their binders.   If they forgot this, their login is their legal first name and the first two (sometimes 3) letters of their last name @ vision.  The password is Vision2018.
3. The assignment is found under the "Classes" Tab.
4. Students are to click through the launch slide, part 1, part 2 and part 3

         

          5.  While students are reading through the slides, their workbook corresponds to each slide.

Page 9 corresponds to the launch slide

Page 10 corresponds to Parts 1,2 and 3

      6.  Students need to try to answer these questions to the best of their abilities.  This is what we call a pre-read activity.  A pre-read or front loading activity is to become familiar with the overall content and organization of a selection or assignment.  It is perfectly okay to not understand everything during a pre-read.  I will teach the entire lesson in class.  

      7.   Students will never be marked down for trying the problems.  Pre-read activites are a participation grade.  The only way to receive a non-passing grade is to leave the problem blank or write down a silly, nonsensical answer.

**If you do not have internet access, I have textbooks I will check out to you for the year.  The textbook is identical to the online slide presentation **
