I agree with javapride..... doing homework is not going to teach you anything .... that's just not right... pay attention to the interpreter and you'll learn a few new things..

Well, hopefully this will be a good learning experience for you. Also, hopefully the teacher is very visual which is most important when teaching deaf or hearing math. Being an interpreter I have had some real nightmares terping math simply because you can only do so much with your hands. Now, if you have a teacher that uses visual aids and cues amen. Hopefully the interpreter you are watching will be a good model for you. Look for technical signs and always make mental notes concerning conceptual accuracy. Good luck.
