Description:

In this episode, Jon & Kyle discuss what role (if any) that homework should play in math class across the K-12 grade bands. Stick around as we dig into some common “rules of thumb” such as the “10 minutes of homework per day per grade” rule, what different groups and organizations are suggesting, and of course, what the research tells us. 

As always, we’ll be giving you some of our perspectives based on some of the opinions and research out there as well as dig into some of the strategies we’ve used over the years to help you get a hold of your homework situation.

Grab on to your homework binders and grab a pencil because class is out and it’s time to dig into your homework for the day!


You’ll Learn: 

  • When you should give homework and when you should hold off from assigning it; 
  • Should we follow the “10 minutes per day per grade rule?
  • What your homework assignment should look like; and, 
  • How to decide if you should assign homework;
