7th Grade Math
Homework: Homework will be graded as a completion / and correctness on a 1,2,3,4 scale. Students should expect one weekly homework assignment (assigned Monday and due on Friday).. (Click here for link to homework calendar for ALL 7th grade core classes).
Warm Ups: Students will have a daily warm up in class. This Warm Up handout will be collected each Thursday for a Weekly Work Habits Grade. I also give students a chance to communicate with me on the Warm Up handout and write a short reflection (they can ask for help, tell me something funny, or reflect on the daily math lesson). Rubric to be sent home with students.
