In 7th grade math, students cover topics which will give them the basics to be prepared for high school math. These include:

     Pre-Algebra:                      Solving equations, interpreting and making graphs, patterns
     Fractions:                          Add, subtract, multiply, and divide using fractions and mixed numbers
     Percents:                           Calculating tax, tip, discount and finding the percent of two numbers
     Geometry:                          Angles, geometric shapes, similarity, area, volume, surface area
     Proportions:                       Ratios and proportional reasoning
     Integers:                           Add, subtract, multiply, and divide using positive and negative numbers

Other topics will be covered as listed in the Illinois State Standards for mathematics. Beginning this year, 7th grade students will take the Illinois State Achievement Test, therefore students will prepare for the multiple choice and extended response portions of the test.

Some things to note about math class:

     Students will usually have homework on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
     Tests, quizzes, and graded assignments will count toward 60% of the student's grade.
     Students may attend homework club for additional help or see Mrs. Heuer before or after school.
     A 1 inch binder to keep notes and assignments is needed for this class.
     Students should have a 3 hole pencil case with a pen, pencil, and calculator and keep this in the binder.
