Welcome to 7
th
grade Math class!!
We hope you had an enjoyable summer!
Be prepared to challenge yourself
and be an active learner.
Items needed for class EVERY DAY:
*pencils ONLY! *calculator (TI84+ CE)
*Composition Notebook 8.5”x11” graph paper *Planner
*homework folder *glue sticks
*pouch (for dry erase markers, glue sticks, pencil sharpener, erasers)
It is your responsibility to bring your supplies to class each day. Your notebook will be
your lifeline ~ it will contain board questions, journal writing, notes & activities.
Homework:
Math is a building process and will get progressively harder, which is why
it is important to establish a strong foundation EARLY in the year. This
necessitates doing ALL homework to the best of your ability and keeping up with
the pace. All homework is due before that unit’s test. If you are absent, it is
YOUR responsibility to copy notes the returning day. Excused absences will
allow the same number of days plus 1 day i.e. 2 days to make up assignment(s) if
you are absent one day, 3 days for 2 absences, etc.
Homework is to be completed on its due date at the beginning of class. It
is the expectation that all homework be completed and turned in on time. If you
are having difficulties in a certain chapter or concept, please use all possible resources.
Homework assignments are posted in Google classroom; just check the agenda for that day.

it. The highest grade of any retake is 80%. Only quizzes can be retaken.
