About Me: I started teaching 7th grade at Eyer in 2006, before that I taught for 5 years at a high school and 6th grade in other districts. I love teaching 7th Grade and try to make it FUN for everyone! When I'm not teaching, I love to be outside and with my family. I enjoy walking, biking, reading, and watching my kids in their sports & activities. Eyer is a wonderful place and I encourage you to get involved in the many clubs and activities we offer! Reach out if you have any questions - my email is jhummell@eastpennsd.org
In this course, we will be learning about ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics & probability.
I will post homework and announcements for assessments on our homework website.
Students are required to pass 2 I-Ready lessons per week. Students take a diagnostic test in September to determine their current math level. Lessons are adapted to their level. The last week of each month is "catch-up/bonus" week, so if students missed the 2 passed lessons per week, they will have an opportunity to "catch-up" and earn points back. Students who completed the required weekly lessons will not have to do I-Ready during catch-up week.
In this course, we will be learning all about Algebra! Everything from equations and inequalities to graphing and exponents will be covered. We will be preparing all year for the Algebra 1 Keystone exam in May.

If you are interested in learning higher level math and competing against other students in the Lehigh Valley, then Mathcounts is for you! The club usually runs from October to February. We meet once a week after school until 3:45pm. Our school has done very well the past few years and we'd love to keep that going!
Please check out the Mathcounts website for challenge problems of the week and more practice.
