Math 7X, taught by Ms. Sebert

Objectives or goals:

Extend number sets & systems; Identify and use number patterns;
Apply number concepts to problem situations: Analyze diagrams & graphs; Use
equations & formulas in problem solving. Extend statistics, geometry, probability and
Algebra.

Textbook:

Prentice Hall, Mathematics – Course 3, c. 2004

Supplies:

Pocket folder, pencils, calculator, ruler (inch-cm), paper

Classroom procedures/expectations/rules:

CLASSWORK - Be prepared; Participate & ask questions; Cooperate with partners
or small groups; Make corrections on homework

HOMEWORK - Given 4-5 times per week; usually due next day; should be written iN AGENDA-on HOTLINE daily; Should be brought home in folder. Can often be corrected, redone, or
finished; May have comments to be read & reacted to: worth 0-4 points; Point deducted if
handed in late or incomplete. Only 1 day late allowed for credit.

QUIZZES/TESTS - Usually 20-35 questions: 10-15 min. Once per week. Grades below 70% can
be corrected with teacher to gain points for a passing grade; Quizzes and tests are worth
30-100 points based on difficulty and time. Some end-of-unit quizzes count as double.

MUSIC LESSONS - Let teacher know; Homework due on time; Get work for next day; May
have to make up missed quiz or classwork; Excused for full period tests

FOLDER - Best source of information to study (study guides); Good way to check on student
progress (quizzes); Cleaned out/organized each unit

EVALUATION METHOD=NUMERICAL GRADE - Grading is done based on a point system. Each assignment will be given a point value and credit will be awarded based on the amount of points earned over the total available.

ABSENCES - Work will be available upon return & due soon after; No lost credit if done within
reasonable time limit; If out several days, call for work; Vacations--work MAY be
available ahead.

EXTRA HELP - After school when I’m available (Tues., Weds., Thurs)
