  • Read and take notes on a lesson before it is presented in class in preparation for class discussion.
  • Arrive to class having identified previous night’s homework problem areas that require teacher clarification.
  • Be prepared to be assessed on extensions of topics presented in class.
  • Demonstrate “maturity” in investigating new mathematical concepts.
  • In addition, students placed into:
    • Algebra II Honors typically earn a B or better in Math 9(Geometry).
    • Geometry Honors, typically earn a B or better in Math 8A.
    • Algebra I Honors, typically earn a C or better in Math 8A or a B+ or better in Math 8B.
