Welcome to 7th Grade Math!

Welcome to 7th Grade Math! I strive to make math fun, engaging, and meaningful by incorporating games, activities, collaboration, and real-world applications into our lessons.

Throughout the year, students will explore a variety of topics, including:

• Ratios & Proportions

• Percentages

• Expressions & Equations

• Integers

• Geometry

• Probability

My goal is to help students build confidence in math while developing problem-solving skills that they can use both inside and outside of the classroom.

Daily Schedule, Homework, & Absence Procedures

The daily schedule will be posted on my website after each class. Students can use this schedule to review the day's lesson, classwork, and homework assignments.

If a student is absent, they are expected to check the daily schedule to see what they missed and complete any assignments that are posted.

Grading

Tests & Quizzes (10–60 points each)

All tests and quizzes will be announced at least two days in advance. Students will receive a study guide with practice problems that are similar to those they will see on the assessment.

Projects (10–60 points each)

Throughout the year, students will complete a variety of independent and group projects. Each project will include a clear rubric outlining expectations and a due date.

Homework (5 points each)

Homework is due the class period after it is assigned. Homework will be graded using the class homework rubric.

Classwork (5 points each)

During each trimester, selected classwork assignments will be graded using the classwork rubric. Graded classwork may include worksheets, exit tickets, notes, or other learning activities completed in class.

Final Trimester Grades

Final trimester grades are determined using an accumulating points system. The total number of points a student earns is divided by the total number of possible points.

Example:
If a student earns 180 points out of a possible 200 points:

180 ÷ 200 = 90%

The student's trimester grade would be 90%.
