Students in the 7th grade focus on active engagement with numbers by focusing on conceptual understanding, computational and procedural skills, and problem solving. The 7th grade standards require students to study the following areas: proportional relationships, understanding addition and subtraction of rational numbers, model with expressions, equations and inequalities, sampling and data analysis, probability and geometry. Students will increase their understanding of the course material by participating in class work, homework, quizzes, tests, group and individual projects and independent problem solving.

Homework will be given at least 3 nights a week. Homework is essential to make sure students understand and master the topics we learn in class. It will help students do well on tests and be prepared for the state test, seventh grade and their future. Students are responsible for accurately completing all homework assignments and turning them in at the beginning of class the next day.

Late homework or assignments will be accepted at a penalty of 5 points for every day late.
