Welcome to Seventh Grade Math
With Mrs. M. Hofer
2011-2012
“One Only Fails When They Fail to Try”
| Content: Some of the main concepts covered in seventh grade are conversions, algebra, statistics, fractions, proportional reasoning, geometry, and measurement. |
| Materials Provided: Textbook and a Parent/Student Workbook. |
| Materials Needed: Loose-leaf paper, 3-ring binder, book cover, protractor, pencils, pens, and a calculator. |
| Grading: |
| Student’s grades will be based primarily on daily work, homework, activities, projects, quizzes, approximately twelve chapter tests and two cumulative semester tests. |
| Pre-assessments will be given before each unit, but will not affect a student’s grade. |
| Cheating is not tolerated and any student(s) involved will earn zeros and parents will be notified. |
| Grades can be viewed on the school districts website under Parent Portal. |
| Late work: Students will follow the
Homework Recovery Policy for the 2011-2012 school year
|
| Redo Work: Students can redo two assignments per chapter for full credit, unless it was late. Students must only redo the problems they did incorrectly. Redo work must be turned in before that chapters test. Students can not retake quizzes or tests, unless it is a special circumstance. |
| Absenteeism: It is the responsibility of the student to make up any missed work within two times the number of days absent. |
| Omit Coupons: Omit coupons are given to students in my class as a reward for achievements on quizzes, tests and participation in class. Coupons may be used to omit a problem on an assignment, two coupons can be used to omit one problem per quiz, or students can save a maximum of five for their semester tests. |
| Extra Credit: Students may earn five points of EC per quarter for having no late work. Students will also periodically earn EC for having their grade sheet signed by a parent. |
