Homework Math 180

In order to succeed in the class you need to read the book and do problems on adaily basis. Spend at least two hours per day in your math homework. Some homework questions will be answered at the beginning of each class, the remaining during my office hours.

Show all work. Keep homework on a binder. Do not use spiral paper.

  • Read section
  • Read examples
  • Solve the “Now Work..(pencil)” problems listed after each example which are similar to the examples
  • Assess your understanding by working on the “Are you prepared” and the “Concepts and Vocabulary” sections
  • Solve the problems assigned below. If you have difficulty with a certain topic solve more odd numbered problems
  • To review, read objectives and think on how to do each type of problem.
  • Write formulas on a separate paper and memorize them
  • Check the end of each section that contains a great summary, review, and test
  • Complete all handouts from the web page

TIME OF REFLECTION:
Are you studying at least two hours per day?
Are you reading the book?
Are you reading the examples of the book and doing the pencil problems suggested after each example?
Are you going for help to the math science center?
Do you have the phone number of at least one classmate to ask for help when you are doing homework at home?
Are you participating in class?
Are you asking enough questions in class?
Are you visiting my office hours to get help?
Are you doing all it takes to succeed in this class and get ready for the next math class?
To refresh your memory, read again the recommendations on how to study which are given at the top of the previous page. Reading the book and the examples is VERY IMPORTANT. Always practice solving the “Now Work” problems (Pencil problems) after reading each example.
On a daily basis, use the list of objectives to “think on how to do the problems”. This is a great way of getting ready for a test.
DO MORE than the suggested problems if you have difficulty with a certain topic.

Math 180 – Word Problems Portfolio

Exams will contain word problems similar to the ones given below. All of the details indicated in this page are taken into consideration when grading your papers. It is your responsibility to show every little detail, as we do in class, in order to get full credit. Many of the assigned problems are similar to the examples worked out in the book.

  • Solve one problem per page. (Ok to solve one on the front and one on the back of the page).
  • Define the meaning of the variables with symbols and words. Indicate the corresponding units. (For example: y is the cost in dollars, x is the number of refrigerators produced)
  • Show all steps in order to get credit.
  • Write answers using complete sentences.
  • Show a sketch of the situation or function in each case. You don’t need to set up a scale. Sketches that are neat and make sense are ok.
  • Label the axes with symbols, words and units.
  • Neatness is required! Take pride in what you do. This is part of your training as a future professional
  • If you use the calculator to graph, what window will show a “complete, meaningful” graph? DO NOT use the zoom-fit window. Many times, it distorts the graph. Exploring the TABLE may help in setting windows.

Solve the following problems. Label them in your paper as it is shown below.
