Mr. Larson’s Class-7th Grade Math
Book: CPM Core Connections 2 (CC2)
Lesson Plans-Available through a link on Synergy, on this site, or through a link on google classroom.
General Course Outline:
Throughout the year we will cover the following topics: Statistics, fractions, integers, arithmetic properties, proportions, percents, expressions, word problems,transformations, similarity, solving equations, solving inequalities, circles, volume and surface area.
Class Expectations:
Students should come to class prepared and ready to work every day. Materials needed for class are: something to write with, notebook, textbook, electronic device and completed work.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned every night. You will be graded on completeness of the work. You will either receive a score of a 5 or a blank. No partial credit for homework is given. If you have a blank score that means that the work was never turned in. Answers are provided on my site to allow self check. Homework is meant to be practice for understanding the material from class. (Homework should be submitted on google classroom)
Late Work:
No late work will be accepted. I do not offer extra credit.
Tests/Projects:
Tests will be given every 2-3 weeks after completion of a chapter. If the test grade is a D or lower, students have the opportunity to retake the test. This must be done outside of class time and within one week of the test date, with a maximum grade possible of 85%.
There may be about one project per quarter.
Homework quizzes:
Homework quizzes will be given every week. This quiz is to check the understanding of the material covered that week. The quiz questions are similar to the homework questions about the new material.
Grading: Student grades will be calculated using total points earned and a weighted system.
Homework/classwork- 5% of total grade
Test/Project- 80% of total grade
Homework quiz- 15% of total grade
NO EXTRA CREDIT IS GIVEN!!
