Class Description of 7th grade Math:

The 7th grade math curriculum focuses on 5 topics: The Number System (operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers), Ratios and Proportional Relationships (Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems), Expressions and Equations (Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations; use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions), Geometry (Solve real-life mathematical problems, involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume; draw, construct, and describe the relationship between them), and Statistics and Probability (Investigate chance and develop, use, and evaluate probability models; draw informal comparative inferences about two populations; use random sampling to draw inferences about a population). The following schedule of standards is tentative as some of our standards spiral throughout the year. A detailed list of 7th grade standards can be found using the link below. (p.72-78)



1st 9 weeks: The Number System and Expressions and Equations

2nd 9 weeks: Ratio and Proportional Relationships

3rd 9 weeks: Geometry

4th 9 weeks: Statistics and Probability and Review for TN Ready Testing.

Materials Needed:

* 1- 1 1/2 Inch Binder

* 1–Composition notebook (Interactive Notebook)

* 1 Pack of highlighters

* 1 Pack of ink pens

* 1 TI-34 Calculator

* Pencils

* Crayons, Markers, or Colored Pencils

BE RESPONSIBLE! BE RESPECTFUL! BE READY TO LEARN!

a. Respect yourself and others. 

b. No Bullying behaviors. 

c. Come to class prepared (All Class Materials and Homework) 

d. Follow the voice levels. 

e. Follow directions the first time given.  

Academic Expectations:

Homework assignments are necessary and will be given to practice skills, but never as busy work or punishment. 

Homework assignments are due and expected the next class period after they are assigned, unless otherwise indicated, and should be neat and complete. One day late= 10 points off. Two days late= zero.  

Make up work is the student’s responsibility in accordance with school policy. 

Missed quizzes and tests should be made up promptly in accordance with school policy during study hall at recess. 

All paper and assignments will be kept in binders for individual subject areas. Composition notebooks will be used for writing journals or notes. Notebooks may be graded periodically. 

Cheating will result in an automatic zero and after school detention.  

The school system grading scale is used for all grades:

|95 to 100 |A |

|86% to 94% |B |

|85% to 76% |C |

|75% to 70% |D |

|69% and below |F |

Assignments:

Daily Assignments: There will probably be math homework each day with the exception of weekends. However, studying for tests daily will be beneficial for student success.  When an assignment is given, I expect assignments to be done by the dates given in class.  

Quizzes: Quizzes will be announced at least one day ahead of time and an overview of the topic will be given.

Tests:  Each student will be assessed on material by topic. Students will use their notes to study for tests.  Students will have paper or computer based tests depending on the topic.

Projects: Throughout the year, students may be completing projects that will be announced in class.  I expect the student to do the majority of the work. However, parents may help if necessary.  I will have a variety of different assignments that are very "low cost or no cost" to the student.  Due dates for all projects will be given in class.
