Welcome to 7th
Grade Math!
In 7th Grade Math, the
standards-based math program, Mathscape
by Glencoe/McGraw Hill will be used this year. This program
consists of seven modules which are in separate, soft-covered
books. Also, students will have the companion "Hot Topics/Hot
Words" book which serves as a glossary and skills review
reference.
Students are expected to come to class
prepared. This means that they
need to bring their textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, calculators and
a good attitude. Students are
required to write homework assignments in their agenda books, which the
school provides. Also, math homework and project assignments are posted
weekly on the school’s website.
My grading policy is as follow:
Class Work/Homework: 40%
Quizzes: 30%
Tests & Projects: 30 %
Daily assignments are due the
day after they are assigned, unless I specify otherwise. Students who are absent will have as
many days as they were out to complete daily assignments that were
assigned during their absence. Students
may hand in late class work/homework assignments for 50% credit. However, once the unit of study has
ended, students will no longer be able to turn in late assignments, and
will receive a grade of 0%.
Projects that are handed in late
will be marked down 5% for each day they are late.
Please use the links for details on homework assignments and other useful
information.
Should you wish to contact me, please email or phone me at school.
