Winter Break Homework

Winter Break Homework

This is an optional assignment and you will be rewarded for your work.  :)

Here is a link to a math packet. 

For every 15 questions you answer, you will receive $2 Scholar Dollars and a raffle ticket.  Raffle tickets will be entered into a drawing to win dress down coupons and/or no homework passes.  The more you do, the better your odds of winning.

For questions that contain multiple parts, each part is considered a question.  Therefore, there are 75 total questions and you can receive up to $10 Scholar Dollars and 5 raffle tickets.

In order to conserve paper, you do not have to print the packet.  However, you do need to use lined notebook paper and show your work!  This assignment is due to Mrs. Sternfels when you return from break on Monday, January 5, 2015.
