Students gonna have weekly test to see how well they understand the martial that they are working on. Encourages and helps us learn better, we get homework every day to practice what we talked about in class. Doing homework is real important for doing good in school. It’s better to study at night and take advantage of the time you have right now right before the test instead of waiting until the last second and may misinterpreting what they meant.
In palmer we are lucky to have Math club with their mind building and socializing ways of helping each other. Math club the grades are split into two categories Junior and senior in the junior there will be tutors to help teach and help if the subjects math algebra or even about money; as for the seniors, they will be practicing their thinking skill to pass and apply maybe for AP or IB math or physics classes the seniors will volunteer to teach and communicate with the juniors.
The two group not only split into two different math groups they also split into different classrooms like totally different clubs.
