Math 7 Class Update - Week of 11/11/2024

Hello All! This week will be shortened on account of veteran's day on Monday and the biennial hearing and vision test which will be administered on Thursday. However, we will be beginning the fifth unit of our year which covers ratios and proportions. Students will only be responsible for their weekly notes and the weekly homework. Homework this week is relatively long, consisting of 32 problems. This is due to shorter problems with lower complexity, Thus, the increase volume is intended to solidify understanding. The first 10 problems are all retrospective from the past two weeks, the next 10 will be taught at the beginning of the week on Tuesday, and the remaining 13 will be covered on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Hello All! This week, our seventh graders will develop their ability to solve two-step equations(Think: Isolating a variable using two operations) and, once we've completed this, we will then move on to the writing and graphing of inequalities on the number line. This week, our students will be responsible for three assignments; The sections 4.1-4.3 Quiz on Tuesday, this week's notes to be turned in on Friday, and finally the week 10 homework (Due: 10/28/2024).

Hello All! Welcome back for our first week of Quarter 2. This week, in math, our students will be introduced to algebraic equations as well as how to solve them. We will be primarily focused on solving simple equations in one step using addition and subtraction. Homework this week will be a bit shorter as we reaclimate to the academic environment, consisting of 18 problems divided into three sections. The first nine problems will be review of content from before break. The remaining eight problems will be from material which will be taught on Wednesday.

Math 7 Class Update (Week of 9/23/2024)

Hello All! This week, we will continue our dive into algebraic expressions. Particularly, this week, we will be learning how to add and subtract algebraic expressions with like terms. This week, students will be responsible for three assignments. Week 8 notes, this week's homework(20 problems, or less than 7 per-night if completed in equal segments on the nights of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), and the sections 2.1-2.2 quiz.  At the end of this week, we will have parent teacher conferences and then we will be on our fall break!

This week, our students will close chapter 2 and proceed into chapter 3 of our curriculum. Where chapter two largely served as a strengthening of existing skills, Chapter three will be a venture into pre-algebraic concepts like equations involving variables as well as how to add and subtract expressions involving variables. This week, students will be responsible for three assignments, their weekly homework(twenty-four problems, due on Monday 9/23/2024), their weekly notes(Due: Friday 9/20/2024), and the chapter two test (Tuesday, 9/17/2024).  This week is also important as it is the end of the grading window for quarter one.

Math 7 Class Update: Week of 9/9/2024

Hello All! This week, our students will come to the end of chapter two, the study of multiplication and division of rational numbers. On Thursday of this week, we will have a brief quiz on the latter sections of this second chapter. Otherwise, notes from this week will be collected on Friday, and homework is due this coming Monday (9/16/2024). This week's homework will consist of twenty-eight problems.

Math 8 Class Update: Week of 9/3/2024

Hi Everyone! This week, our students will continue their study of transformations in the coordinate plane with a particular focus on reflections. As this is a shorter week, homework will be slightly reduced to account for the time off. Particularly, the homework will consist of 23 problems on the aforementioned subject matter which breaks out to less than 6 problems per week night. Students will not have any tests or quizzes this week.  

Math 7 Class Update: Week of 9/3/2024

Hello Everyone! During this week, rational numbers(Think: decimals and fractions). Particularly how to convert between the two, how such conversions can make many problems easier, and how to solve expressions and equations involving such numbers. As this week is a four-day week, our homework will consist of twenty-six problems on the aforementioned subject matter (roughly 7 problems per night, or 4 including the weekend) this week or  and we will not have any other tests or quizzes this week. Students will continue to receive math mystery clues throughout this week to help with underlying skills.

Math 7 Class Update: Week of 8/26/2024

Hello Parents! 
 
This fourth week will be a busy one for our seventh graders. We will open the week by finishing chapter one and we will move into chapter 2 of our book on Tuesday. By the end of the week, we will have finished sections 2.1 and 2.2 of our curriculum. These sections progress out of addition and subtraction and into the multiplication and division of integers. This continues with our current theme of strengthening students' foundation so that they may prosper throughout their continuing education. This week, students will have a total of four assignments; The Chapter 1 Test, this week's homework, this week's in-class notes, and the sections 2.1-2.2 Quiz.
