    Curriculum

    The 7th grade curriculum consists of pre-algebra, some geometry, and beginning algebra concepts.  These students will take a full algebra course in the 8th grade.  The students will be working toward meeting the 7th grade Common Core Standards for skills and mathematical practices. 

    The 7th grade accelerated classes will cover the 8th grade algebra curriculum.  These students should then be ready for geometry as 8th graders.  The students will be working toward meeting the 8th grade Common Core Standards for skills and mathematical practices.

     

    Office Hours and Procedures for Retakes and Grade Conferences:

    • Every end of the unit (about every month during regular class) there will be time for assignment makeups, quiz and test retakes, returning graded assignments, independent reviewing of content videos and if needed, the reteaching of math content.

    • I’m available for general questions, reteaching or quiz/test makeups by in-person communication or email appointment before school, after school or during 7th-grade lunch on Fridays.

    • Every Thursday our school has an organized study hall set up for referring students needing to makeup missing assignments or retake work.
