Class Overviews
Curriculum:
- Next Generation- 7th Grade Mathematics by eMATHinstruction
- A textbook will not be used within the classroom. Each lesson and corresponding homework will be provided to the students and is to be placed in their binder.
Course Description:
Welcome to 7th grade Mathematics! This year the students will be working on operations with signed numbers, proportional relationships, percentages, linear expressions, linear equations and inequalities, statistics, probability, and geometry. Grade 7 mathematics is arranged chronologically, by building upon each topic and building on their prior knowledge from 6th grade mathematics.
Course Expectations and Polices:
Students in 7th grade mathematics are expected to develop a deeper understanding of previous mathematical concepts, begin the process of extending their knowledge to prepare for the following years of math classes, and to keep up with assignments. Students are expected to come to class prepared, to complete assignments honestly and on time, follow classroom procedures, and to be respectful.
