Math 7 Syllabus

Welcome! This is a student-centered course where we spend time discovering and investigating math concepts based on the critical-thinking and problem-solving rigor of the Common Core Standards. Students will learn how each concept is important in everyday life. Students will work independently and cooperatively in groups.  They will be participating in activities using manipulatives and participating in classroom and group discussions. 

Course Objective:  To engage students in critical thinking where they will use their acquired math skills to solve relevant problems in a global context.

II. Grading

Your final grade for this course will be calculated as follows:

Homework Expectations:

  • All work is to be done in pencil only
  • Work is neat and orderly
  • All work must be shown (no work = no credit)
  • If a student is absent, he/she has the same number of days absent to complete the work
  • Late work will be accepted for partial credit, but can only be turned in within one week of due date

 

Assessments: There will be multiple assessments for each unit.  Students may retake a quiz only if they have come in for after school tutoring.

 

***UNIT TESTS CANNOT BE RETAKEN!
