Welcome to 7th Grade Math! My name is Mrs. Howard, and I am excited to be your math teacher this year. The best way to contact me is my email [email protected]. We will use this website ammiehoward.weebly.com A LOT in this class, make sure to bookmark it right now so you always have access to it.
To be successful in math this year you will need the following materials. All materials will need to come to class with you on or before Thursday, August 24th.
GRADES:
The grade breakdown will be as follows:
100% – 93% A
92% – 90% A-
89% – 87% B+
86% – 83% B
82% – 80% B-
79% – 77% C+
76% – 73% C
72% – 70% C-
69% - 60% D-
59% - 0% F
NOTES: Notes packets will be given out at the start of each chapter with students expected to fill them out each day. After the notes are graded the packet will be returned to the students and they will be responsible to store them in their math binder. Notes will be referenced throughout the year, so students should not discard them after the chapter test.
HOMEWORK: Assignments will be graded the class period after it is assigned unless otherwise specified. Homework will also be turned in as a packet at the end of each unit. The homework packet will NOT be accepted late.
CHAPTER TEST AND QUIZ MAKE-UPS: Students will be able to retake each chapter test and quiz one time. Retakes must be completed by the posted date (usually 3 class periods after the quiz/test was given). In order to retake a quiz/test, students must correct the questions they missed on a separate sheet of paper and submit them at the time they wish to retake.
HELP OUTSIDE OF CLASS: Our math department offers math help from 2:45 to 3:30 every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This is a time for math students to come in and work on homework or get help from math teachers on concepts they don’t understand. I highly recommend doing your homework here especially if you are not quite grasping a concept. If you need to see me, I am available most days 30 minutes before and after school.
