You will complete Goal Problems and other math work during each unit.
These assignments do not count toward your academic grade. They help you, your parents, and your teacher see how well you understand the math you are learning.
Goal Problems can also help you study for tests.
You may take a Defense, which is a test retake, for tests you took during the semester.
It is your job to go to PAWS to prepare for and take a Defense.
