Today we worked on adding integers, adding with positive and negative numbers.  We did an assignment in class so there is NO HOMEWORK

** we will have access to our new book on-line soon **

November 9, 2012

Today was Quiz 1.1-1.3 which was over square roots, real numbers, putting numbers on a number line and putting numbers in fraction form.  We reviewed yesterday in class and many students were ready for the quiz :)  Mrs. Carver will be back in class on Monday, November 12.  And I will be accompanying her for conferences Monday 12, Tuesday 13, and Wednesday 14.  Thank you for being supportive and thank you for sharing your children with me!!

November 2, 2012

This week we started our new Chapter on working with Real Numbers.  Homework this week was to  complete Worksheet 1.1 and 1.2.  1.1 should have been turned in and 1.2 is due on Monday.  We will have a quiz on Tuesday or Wednesday next week over Lesson 1.1-1.3.  Please talk with your children about studying for this quiz.  Have a great weekend!

October 26, 2012

Student's will be getting back their first Unit Test on Monday.  These will come home and will have to be signed by parents and returned.  We are offering a retake during class on October 30th.  Please encourage your child to study study study.  Have a great weekend. 

October 24,2012

Unit Test Today.  Most students were prepared for this first test.  Re-takes will be available after school next Tuesday the 30th.  Graded tests will be sent home by Friday.

October 22, 2012

Happy Monday!
We are finishing up Unit 1 this week with a Unit Test on Wednesday.   We have been working on reviews and you should see them bring some study materials home tomorrow to study from.  Please encourage your child to study and be prepared.  Thanks so much and have a great day!

October 15, 2012

Looking forward to another week with a few MEAP's thrown in.  We are finishing up the MEAP this week and Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to Unit Test Review.  I will be encouraging our students to bring this review home over the weekend and spending a few minutes everyday looking it over and making sure they understand or have questions for me on Monday. :) Enjoy the week.

October 12, 2012

Wow...what a week.  We managed to get through MEAPs this week....with anticipation for the Math MEAP on Tuesday next week....Yay!  This week we covered and recovered information for our second quiz which we finished up yesterday.  Progress reports will be coming home with these quiz grades included.  Please help your children understand that we have 6 weeks to go until the end of our 1st trimester and now is not the time to goof off during class.  We need to be serious about our education and do our very best...ALWAYS!

October 9, 2012

Today is the beginning of MEAP.  It is very necessary that your children get plenty of rest and a good breakfast before the test.  We will be wrapping up some odds and ends in the next two weeks regarding our Variables and Patterns Unit while testing.  Please advise your children to turn in all work when assigned.
Have a great day!

October 4, 201`2

This week we worked on writing simple Inequalities to word problems and graphs.  We also have been learning how to write linear equations to tables, word problem, and graphs.  Next week starts MEAP and will be spending some time working on getting ready for that as well as wrapping up our first Unit on Variables and Patterns. 

September 28, 2012

Today was another MEAP review for the test coming up in one week.  We are trying to familiarize the students with the different types of problems that they might see.  This week was about putting table information into a graph and finding the rate of  change in a table, a graph, and a word problem.  Everyone had the opportunity to get some late work in but from now on it is expected to be in by the next day.  No more late work.  None will be accepted once it is a week late so encourage them to get it done.  Have a great weekend. 

September 25, 2012

Today we started Lesson 3 which is about making graphs with our tables, answering questions about linear and non-linear graphs, making sure we understand our independent and dependent variables.  Grades have been updated and it seems some students are having a really hard time turning in items.  Please be aware that these missed assignments become 0 which will really affect their grades!

September 24, 2012

This week we are getting more into MEAP Review as it is just around the corner (two weeks).
We are also focusing on creating tables and graphs that display data and understanding their variables and rates of change. 

September 19, 2012

Today we told stories about graphs.  Some we created and some were created for us.  Tomorrow we will be continuing with this content and finishing up all other work. Have a great day!

September 18, 2012

We are working on identifying variables, classifying independent and dependent variables, and explaining relationships between the variables in graphs.  Lesson 1 was presented today with a worksheet that may have to be completed at home.

September 14, 2012

The end to the second week is here.   Everyone is readjusting to the new school year.  We are finishing up Discovery Ed testing and our graph projects today.  Have a great weekend!

September 12, 2012

Today we started finishing up our Jumping Jack activity with a graph of our data.  This activity was done in groups and took a few days to accomplish.  The next two days will be Discovery Ed testing.  Again this is for school use only!  Have a great day!

September 10, 2012

Learning is in progress today!  Students went over vocabulary to remind them all about graphing.  Their assignment was to finish a picture graph of a sailboat using coordinate pairs and following specific directions.  This is to be completed for homework if not finished in class!

September 7, 2012

Today we started MEAP review.  The MEAP is going to sneak up on us in early October so we want to be ready.  These will be items that we work on in class....individually or in small groups!

September 6, 2012

Today the 7th graders took a Pretest exam.  This exam is to use as a base point to measure how much their knowledge grows over the course of the year.  It does not count as a grade and is for school use only! 

September 5, 2012

We took care of some expectations and getting to know each other.
A parent letter and syllabus was handed out.  There is a small portion that needs to be sent back with the student, with parent name and contact information on it.  If you need another copy there is a link to the right of this post.  Thank you!
