Welcome to seventh grade mathematics! It is a new year, and we have much to cover. I am here to support you in any way that I can. You got this!
We will be using Agile Mind as our online platform, just like you did last year. You will be required to bring your charged computer and Agile Mind workbook every day.
Each day, I will be posting our daily agenda in Google classroom so you know what to expect in class daily. The agenda is also helpful if you are absent; you can go to that day’s agenda and see what you need to make up.
Here is a quick look at what you can expect:
Students must have the following for class each day:
Chromebook--charged
Agile Mind Workbook
Math binder
Pen/Pencil
Homework will be assigned most days
The assignment should take about 20 minutes
You will not lose points if your answer is wrong. It matters that you make a good attempt at every problem and that you SHOW ALL WORK!!
If a student copies another student’s homework, both students will receive a zero for the assignment and students will be referred to the office for disciplinary action.
If you are keeping current with your homework and classwork, you should have no problem taking a quiz. I often do “quick checks” to see where you are before the quiz to help you to focus on the ideas that will be on the quiz.
All tests will be announced in advance.
There will be no “make-up” tests or quizzes given for poor grades. You should be studying when you know you have a test or a quiz; you will not be able to “re-do” a test or quiz because of a bad grade.
Students are responsible for completing assignments missed due to absence.
Any students who are absent on the day of a test/quiz will be expected to take the test/quiz on the next day of school that they are present.
If a student is absent for a period of time before a test/quiz, a grace period will be granted.
If a student has an extended absence due to illness, special arrangements will be made.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING AT ALL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! I am here in class if you need me, I am just a quick email away if you have questions or concerns. Please reach out to me. I will do my best to make this year as successful and happy as possible!
