7^th Grade Pre-AP Math Syllabus

2022 – 2023 School Year

Dear Parent(s)/ Guardian,

Welcome to the 2022 – 2023 school year! Attached is important information about your child’s 7^th Grade Pre-AP class for the year. Please sign and return only the bottom of the letter. You may keep the syllabus for your files.

7^th Grade Pre-AP is the foundation for future high school math courses. Therefore, it is very important that your child keep up with the assigned work every day. If your child is having trouble understanding some of the material, it is highly recommended that your child attend tutorials. A tutorial schedule will be posted in class and sent home. If your child has an average grade of a 75 or below, your child may face the possibility of being transferred to a regular 7^th grade Math class.

Communication is the key to our children’s success. Please verify your contact information so we may keep you informed on your child’s progress. Do not hesitate to email or call us if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your cooperation and interest.

Sincerely,

Mr. M. Montenegro

Conference Period: 10:30 – 11:00 am on Tuesday/Thursday (By appointment only)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The primary focal areas in Grade 7 and 8 are number and operations; proportionality; expressions, equations, relationships, and foundation of functions; and measurement and data. Students use concepts, algorithms, and properties of real numbers to explore mathematical relationships and to describe increasingly complex situations. While the use of all types of technology is important, the emphasis on algebra readiness skills necessitates the implementation of graphing technology. This course will serve as an introduction to the concepts found in the Foundations of Algebra course.

Alief ISD provides a balanced mathematics program that develops each student's competency in basic skills as well as capacity to reason analytically and apply problems solving skills to new situations.

PARENT NOTE

I am excited about the new school year and look forward to having your child in my class! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.

TBA (Late Buses are provided except for car riders and walkers)

Temporary Schedule

8:00 - 8:30 AM from Monday to Friday

COURSE POLICIES

· If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain missing assignments. Students have one day for each day of absence to complete and submit the assignment. Work assigned prior to an absence is due the day the student returns.

· Homework will be given daily and is due the next day at the beginning of the period.

· Late assignments/homework will automatically receive a deduction of 10 points for being late and will only be accepted one class day after the assignment is due. Work turned in past one day will not be accepted unless due to an absence.

Classroom behavior expectations

1. Be on time and be prepared for class every day.

2. Be seated and immediately begin warm-up when the bell rings.

3. Be respectful of others at all times.

4. Be in dress code with ID visible.

5. Be a follower of ALL classroom and Holub policies/procedures

Consequences Positive Rewards

1^st violation -- Warning 1. Verbal acknowledgement

2^nd violation --Student conference 2. Positive phone call home

3^rd violation -- Parent contact 3. Special incentives

4^th violation -- Teacher Consequence 4. Productive learning environment

5^th violation – Team consultation / Parent conference

6^th violation – Office Referral
