What Is Homework?
Homework is defined as out-of-class tasks assigned to students as an extension or elaboration of classroom work. There are three types of homework: practice, preparation, and extension.
Practice assignments reinforce newly acquired skills. For example,
students who have just learned a new method of solving a mathematical
problem should be given sample problems to complete on their own.
Preparation assignments help students get ready for activities that
will occur in the classroom. Students may, for example, be required to
do background research on a topic to be discussed later in class.
Extension assignments are frequently long-term continuing projects that
parallel classwork. Students must apply previous learning to complete
these assignments, which include science fair projects and term
papers.
