Math Paper Assignment | Homework Help Websites

Please remember to show ALL of your work on every problem.  If there is no work to show, then include a sentence or two explaining your answer. 

Here are the basic rules of showing work:

• Each step should show the complete expression or equation rather than a piece of it.
• Each new step should follow logically from the previous step, following rules of algebra.
• Each new step should be beneath the previous step.
• The equal sign, =, should only connect equal numbers or expressions.
