Description
This required full-year supplemental course is designed to provide students with additional academic support in their current Math 7 course. Students gain targeted instruction, acquire additional test-taking skills, and improve their readiness for the mandated New Jersey Department of Education assessment. Instructional emphasis will be placed on reinforcing the NJ Student Learning Standards for Grade 7 and correlating to their concurrent Math 7 class. Enrichment math is designed to refine, introduce, and develop skills for those students who have indicated a need for strengthening and reinforcing their math foundations. The major goal is to assist the students in raising their achievement levels through the Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP). The four major clusters addressed are Number Systems, Expressions and Equations, Geometry, and Statistics & Probability. Problem-solving, communicating mathematically, connecting math to real life, reasoning, technology, numerical operations, measurement, estimation, and open-ended responses are incorporated and emphasized throughout the four major clusters. Students' grades are based primarily on classroom and class participation. Students work on topics at their own pace.
