Write neatly and legibly when doing homework.

When doing math homework, use a pencil and have a big eraser on-hand!

One of a teacher's biggest "downers" is receiving homework that is not easy to read.

Also, if you write neatly, you will be able to read your own work.

Work a math problem from top to bottom of page, and erase cleanly any mistakes.

There is plenty of paper; don't feel like you have to squeeze each problem into as little space as possible.
