Students in 7th grade on-level math will start off the year reviewing what they learned in 6th grade on-level. Students will take notes in a math notebook everyday. Work is required to be shown in the notebook and foldables glued in the notebook are regularly used. We use many interactive websites that use a game-like format that personalize learning. We compete in teams and even against the teacher! Students are tested on the material in a variety of ways: paper tests, google forms, and projects. Teachers pull small groups for struggling students and tutoring is offered 4 days a week. The teachers on the 7th grade on-level team share all the students. Every teacher on the team will have a positive impact on the students’ math education.
