Math Open Hours

Dear scholars,

You will have Math Open Hours from 4PM to 5PM every day from Monday to Thursday. Please make use of this time to ask one-on-one question with your Math teacher. You can review any questions, concepts, lessons you have not understood in the past. You can also use this time to ask about the day's math assignment. You do not have to stay for the whole hour. Come with your question and leave when your query has been answered. For those, who struggle with Mathematics or have missed past lessons, the open hours are highly encouraged.
