Abstract
Historically, homework has been a controversial issue that has impacted teachers, students, and parents (Gill & Schlossman, 1996, 2004). Opponents of homework are quick to talk about the hours of meaningless homework that students are required to complete and how homework detracts from family time (Kralovec & Buell, 2000). However, this is no reason to completely do away with homework. Teachers may lack access to meaningful homework that is aligned with what students are expected to know. Homework is an important part of a student's education (Cooper, 1989). Homework that has a defined purpose before it is assigned has been shown to impact student achievement (Marzano, Pickering, & Pollock, 2001). The purpose of this project is to provide grade 2 teachers in North Central Washington with purposeful mathematics homework that is aligned with state and national standards.
