This week in Seventh Grade Math…

**This coming Monday, June 1, is our last Accelerated Math this year. Students should have 20 objectives mastered.

Yellow: This week we will continue practicing adding and subtracting integers. We will also begin multiplying and dividing integers. If we finish this week (we’re short on time with all of our May activities!), we may have a quiz next Tuesday. Please check with your child at the end of the week.

Red and Blue: This week we will be reviewing function tables. We will also learn how to graph lines,  using function tables, on the coordinate plane. If we finish this week (we’re short on time with all of our May activities!), we may have a quiz next Tuesday. Please check with your child at the end of the week.

This is our last week of school! Because we only have 2 days of class this week, we will be playing math games in the computer lab and in the classroom. Students in the Yellow and Blue group took their final test last Friday, so before all this year’s papers get tossed out, please look for that in the shuffle! (It was their last grade this year).

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT YEAR!! GOOD LUCK IN HIGH SCHOOL!!

**Two reminders this week: 1.) Progress Reports go home on Monday, April 6.  Symbols that may appear on your child’s report: asterisks (**) indicate that a grade has not been entered in for that assignment and is not counted for or against the student; an “X” means that your child has been exempt from that assignment and it is not counted for or against them; finally, “NC” means that your child did not complete that assignment and has received a zero. 2.)This week we are not having Accelerated Math. However, you’re child should have mastered 8 objectives so far. Please encourage them to work outside of class if they are behind.
Yellow: We will continue to work on percent increase and decrease this week. We will also be reviewing all of our percent chapter for our test that will be the week we return from Spring Break.
