Students will be learning a lot this school year. They will be deepening their understanding of operations, geometry, and statistics. Students will be introduced to positive and negative numbers, ratios, unit rates, and coordinate grids.
In the past, students have been learning about algebra, but mostly when working with patterns and missing numbers. This year, students will learn about how to write and solve algebraic expressions and equations.
Below is a brief outline of our learning this year.

Homework Information:
Homework is a spiral review of 6th grade math. Which means that it constantly reviews 6th grade math curriculum. The point of this homework is to review and practice what we're learning throughout the entire school year. There will be times when students might not know a part of their homework. That is ok! If a student needs help or has questions, please encourage them to see me in the mornings between 8:00 - 8:25.
Homework is handed out on Monday and is due by Friday.
Homework is graded for effort, not accuracy. This means that students need to put forth their best effort and try to complete their homework; however, if it's not correct that is also ok.
REMINDER: Homework is the responsibility of the student, not the parent.

Bell Ringer Information:
At the beginning of class Monday - Thursday, students solve 3 spiral math problems. Just like the
homework, the bell ringer questions review the material throughout the school year. Students are
expected to attempt to solve these problems at the beginning of class. Then I go over the daily problems
and students can correct their work and ask questions.
On Fridays, students take a 3-5 question bell ringer quiz. This quiz is either the exact same or very
similar problems from throughout the week. This quiz is recorded in the grade book each week.

Grading Policy:
All of my assignments are graded based on percentages.
All of my assignments are graded based on percentages.
- Practice classwork is not graded because it’s just practice. It's marked with a P.
- Graded Classwork - Assignments that are graded will be labelled at the top of the paper.
- Weekly bell ringer quizzes are scheduled for each Friday and will be completed on Canvas.
- Math notebooks will be graded using the math notebook rubric (located on Canvas). Students will grade their math notebook and their grade will be combined with my grade.
- IXL Computer Assignments will be assigned weekly and will count as a classwork grade.
- Employability grades are focused on being prepared, participation, following directions, collaboration, and behaviors.
- Each week students earn an employability classwork grade.
- Each week students earn an employability classwork grade.
- Projects will be graded with a rubric that I will go over with students at the beginning of the project. Project grades are entered into the grade book three times.
- Quizzes happen throughout math units. Quizzes are open note, meaning students can use their math notes to help them. Quiz grades are entered into the grade book twice.
- Tests happen at the end of math units. Students cannot use their notes on tests. Test grades are entered into the grade book three times.
- Students can make quiz/test corrections for half credit back.
